Eyebrows do not grow after plucking: what to do and how to grow them

Is it possible to grow eyebrows?

Before answering this question, you should understand the reasons for sparse eyebrows:

Frequent dyeing Aggressive chemical exposure negatively affects the condition of the hairs, so long-term use of dye, especially low quality, can lead to a slowdown and cessation of eyebrow growth
Failure to comply with basic principles of care Neglecting to remove remnants of makeup in the eyebrow area at night can be the main cause of brittleness and hair loss
Improper plucking Incorrect use of tweezers can cause significant damage to the hair follicles and lead to hair growth stopping or to chaotic and sparse hair appearance

Heredity If in your family history thick sable eyebrows have always been just a desired look, then the likelihood that you will become the owner of such eyebrows is also very small
Hormonal imbalances When hormonal levels change, hair loss will be noticeable not only on the eyebrows. Most likely, the hair on your head will react first. Therefore, at the first symptoms, you should consult a doctor and take the necessary tests for hormones. As a rule, thyroid hormones are responsible for the condition of hair.
Unhealthy lifestyle Unbalanced diet, alcohol abuse, smoking, etc. have negative consequences for the body as a whole. Eyebrows will be no exception. If you want to improve the appearance of your eyebrows and prevent the development of other potential health and appearance problems, make comprehensive lifestyle changes
Unprofessional correction Very often you have to deal with the human factor and, resorting to the help of seemingly professionals, end up with unsuccessful eyebrow correction, for the correction of which there is no longer any hair left on the eyebrows

Who should use it?

For those who don’t know how to draw eyebrows with a pencil or don’t like to spend time on it every day.
For those with very light, whitish eyebrows.
For those whose eyebrows have lost their natural thickness due to frequent plucking or other corrective procedures.
For those who have scars in the eyebrow area.
For those who are contraindicated for permanent tattooing, microblading and other restoration procedures.
For those who have suffered chemical exposure, causing problems with eyebrows.
For those with rare eyebrows.
For those who want to have beautiful eyebrows, but are often forced to come into contact with water, and therefore cannot resort to other methods of restoration and correction.

How to grow sparse eyebrows?

There are 5 main ways to grow eyebrows, which, depending on the required speed of obtaining results and the complexity of the initial situation, can be used individually or all together as a complex.

Massage regularly using oils that stimulate hair growth
Once or twice a week, nourish the hair follicles with masks made from extracts of oils, chamomile, honey, aloe, and figs.
Take care of your eyebrows daily: clean and comb
foods rich in vitamins for hair growth in your diet
Take a course of intensive restoration of hair follicles and accelerate growth using professional cosmetics , balms, gels, eyebrow serums

All methods, with a competent approach and provided that the tweezers no longer touch the eyebrows, will revive inactive bulbs and strengthen the hairs on the eyebrows, which will lead to a noticeable increase in their volume. Next, we will consider each of the methods in more detail.

Basic methods of long-term recovery

There are several ways to solve the problem under consideration, which have been approved by cosmetologists and dermatologists and are successfully used at home, beauty salons, and private clinics. Each method has individual qualitative and “technical” characteristics and requires compliance with the rules of application.

Protein and protein supplement

Protein restoration of eyebrows is a relatively new service in beauty salons. For the procedure, specialists use a special product called ProteinTwist, which is a complex of various proteins enriched with vitamins and minerals. A protein product is used if most of the hairs on the eyebrows have stopped growing, but there are still remnants of vegetation.

Protein reduction is performed in two stages:

applying a special silicone roller to the places where the protein product is supposed to be used,
treating each eyebrow hair with the preparation using a brush.

The effect after the master’s manipulations can be compared to lamination - the hairs become shiny, strong, are not exposed to the harmful effects of external factors and fit well. The result lasts for 2 months, after which the procedure is repeated, if necessary, until growth is completely restored.

Semi-permanent

This involves the use of a specific paint that is applied to the eyebrow area and remains on it for an average of 5 weeks. Semi-permanent eyebrow restoration is indicated for:

over-plucked eyebrows (uneven distribution of remaining hairs),
the presence of bald spots on the eyebrows (for example, due to a previous injury),
the location of existing hairs at different angles (“look” in different directions),
low eyebrow density.

The procedure can be carried out at home, but it is better to trust the master. He will implement it in several stages:

cleansing the desired area from dust and sebaceous secretions,
applying coloring agent to the eyebrow arch,
drawing hairs to achieve a natural look,
consolidation of the obtained result with a specific spray.

The master must not only choose the color of the paint and its saturation, but also the shape of the eyebrow and its length. This complex procedure is called artistic eyebrow restoration and can be used without fear of developing an allergic reaction.

The client is informed that there is no recovery period, but she cannot wash her face during the first 24 hours after the procedure. After the first 2-3 water procedures, the color of the eyebrows may become dull, but subsequently it is restored.

With extension

Relatively recently, cosmetologists began offering clients eyebrow restoration using hair extensions. The procedure is quite complex and requires certain knowledge, so it is important to select a specialist with an excellent reputation and long-term experience to perform it.

This involves the use of hairs, which can be natural or artificial, but always soft - they are glued with a special compound, but there are also ready-made overlays in the form of full eyebrows. Such overlays look very natural, but last only 7 days, after which you need to repeat the procedure. If the extension is carried out with individual hairs, then the resulting effect lasts for 2 weeks, but subsequent correction is possible.

The procedure is contraindicated for excessively oily skin in the eyebrow area, the presence of signs of dermatological diseases, rashes or wounds. Eyebrow extensions are not done during pregnancy or if you are allergic to external chemical irritants.

Immediately after the procedure, you should not wash your face for 2 days, and then you should not use soap, sleep with your face on a pillow, treat your eyebrows with a greasy cream, or comb your hair extensions.

In addition, masters offer microblading, permanent coloring - restoration of eyebrows, but not increase/acceleration of hair growth. Such methods can provoke severe allergies; the procedures are accompanied by pain and will only be advisable if natural hairs still remain.

How to grow eyebrows after tattooing?

They resort to tattooing for several reasons: sparse eyebrows from birth, lack of time for constant care, coloring, drawing and shaping, the prejudice that it is fashionable and guaranteed to be beautiful. But there may come a time when you want to return to natural eyebrows. Some oils have a proven effect on renewing eyebrow growth and improving their condition.

Castor oil Oil extracted from castor bean seeds is known for its wide use in medicine and cosmetology.

The healing properties of castor oil in hair care:

does not form a greasy film
nourishes hair follicles
promotes active hair growth
smoothes out the scales in the hair, giving it smoothness

Thanks to this, as well as its affordability, castor oil has earned popularity among those who want to quickly grow beautiful thick eyebrows.

Burr oil

Another indispensable remedy in the fight for beauty is burdock oil, obtained from burdock roots. The oil contains: palmitic and stearic acids, essential oils, mineral salts, vitamins A, E, C and B.

Burdock oil is distinguished by its ability to strengthen and activate hair growth, prevent hair fragility and loss, and restore metabolic processes when exposed to hair, which makes it an excellent weapon in achieving the effect of long thick eyebrows.

IMPORTANT: Burdock oil is more likely to cause allergic reactions than castor oil.

Given this fact, before use, check for allergies by applying a small amount of oil to the back of your wrist. If you are prone to allergies, you should refrain from unauthorized use of any oil until you consult your doctor.

Usma oil

Unlike castor bean and burdock oils, not many people know about the existence of such a wonderful remedy as usma oil
Usma (woad) is common in the East. In China, usma is cultivated as a medicinal plant. One of the known properties of usma is the fight against hair loss.
The oil obtained from usma leaves is rich in valuable vitamins and nutrients.
Usma has a strong effect on hair follicles, prevents excessive hair loss and stimulates their active growth

Usma oil, whose healing properties are credited with curing even complex cases of baldness, can significantly improve the structure and quantity of hair on the eyebrows.

Both the juice of usma leaves and the oil are used in the treatment of scalp hair, eyelashes and eyebrows.

IMPORTANT: Usma juice is distinguished by its coloring property, first in a dark greenish color, which after a while becomes black. Oil does not have this effect.

Therefore, if you do not want to give your eyebrows a dark tint, you should give preference to usma oil.

In addition, the following oils can stimulate eyebrow growth and give them smoothness:

almond
peach
coconut
olive
sea buckthorn
essential (lavender, lemon oil)

It is recommended to combine the application of oil with a massage of the eyebrow line . This will stimulate blood flow and allow for better absorption of oil into the base of the hair.

The massage should be done according to the vector of hair growth: from the nose towards the ears, you can use light pinches, jerky pressure or spiral rubbing. It is enough to drop a couple of drops of oil on your fingers and rub it in with massage movements for several minutes.

IMPORTANT: A convenient alternative is to apply the oil with a special eyebrow brush, an old toothbrush or a mascara brush, for which the oil can be poured into an empty and well-washed container of the mascara tube.

The procedure should be carried out every evening before going to bed.
In the morning, the oil from the eyebrows must be washed off
To enhance and speed up the process, you can repeat the manipulations twice a day.

Rules for stimulating eyebrow growth

Restoring eyebrow growth after removing them is quite difficult and will take a lot of time and effort. But if you follow all the recommendations of cosmetologists, the goal will be achieved. First of all, you need to follow the following rules:

If correction is required, then under no circumstances should you pluck the remaining or newly grown hairs. Careful trimming or shaving will do.
The daily routine and diet need to be adjusted - the body must receive a sufficient amount of vitamins, microelements, and get proper rest.

Penetration of nutrients into the cells of the dermis and hair follicles, a strong immune system is the key to a successful solution to the problem of lack of eyebrow growth.

Makeup must be washed off in the evening and only with warm water or cosmetic milk suitable for a specific skin type. After the water procedure, be sure to massage the eyebrows for a maximum of 7 minutes - longer exposure provokes an increase in the level of dryness of the skin.
Regardless of what means are used to solve the problem, a mixture of camphor and castor oil in a 3:1 ratio is used daily. You need to apply it to your eyebrows with a small brush, lightly massaging it - blood circulation will improve, hairs will begin to grow much faster.

How to grow thick, wide eyebrows?

The secret to thick, velvety eyebrows is regular daily care. Therefore, in order not only to achieve eyebrow growth, but also to ensure a healthy appearance, eyebrows should:

Cleanse When removing makeup from your eyelids, you should also thoroughly cleanse your eyebrow arches. If left on overnight, cosmetics lead to the destruction of hair follicles and brittle eyebrow hairs. For cleansing, you should give preference to products that contain oils, for example, two-phase lotions for removing decorative makeup

IMPORTANT: Avoid chaotic movements when cleansing your eyebrows. The affected hairs will react to this by becoming brittle and will begin to grow in an undesirable direction. You should move in the direction of growth.

Combing This should become a habit, like tidying up the hair on your head. To comb, use a special eyebrow brush. It is better to combine the combing procedure with applying oil to the eyebrow area before going to bed.

Prolonged hair plucking can lead to damage to the follicles and a significant slowdown or cessation of hair growth in the areas where this manipulation is performed. However, it is possible to grow wide eyebrows in this case too. Moreover, if the eyebrows were thick from birth and thinned only with regular plucking.

In addition to the procedures listed above for activating eyebrow growth, aimed at local effects, an important factor is also saturating the body with necessary nutrients and beneficial vitamins from the inside.

It is known that vitamins A, E, C, as well as B1, B6 and B12 are responsible for hair growth. A logical step would be to revise your diet to include foods containing these vitamins.

Vitamin A: viburnum, liver, broccoli, garlic, sour cream, garlic, butter, processed cheese, carrots, sweet potatoes, wild garlic, etc. Vitamin E: nuts (hazelnuts, cashews, almonds, pistachios, peanuts), spinach, squid, millet, dried apricots, vegetable oil, sea buckthorn, seeds, etc. Vitamin C: rose hips, orange, sweet pepper, lemon, black currant, cabbage, sea buckthorn, kiwi, etc. Vitamins B1, B6, B12: liver, meat, fish (mackerel, cod, tuna, perch, sardine), beans, pine nuts, lentils, horseradish, oatmeal, etc.

At the same time, nutrition should be balanced. If the body lacks any element, this will certainly affect the condition of the skin, hair, bones, and nails.

Eyebrow treatment with vitamins and nutrition

How to restore damaged eyebrows after serious injury? Diet is a powerful weapon for reconstructing the hair area. Vitamins are a good restorer. Complexes that include vitamins A and E and biologically active additives are especially useful.

Food products must be selected individually to quickly achieve a high effect. The main assistant in the fight for eyebrow reconstruction is Aevit (Vitamin E + Retinol) in capsules. After its use, epithelial tissue is restored, cells are rejuvenated, and biochemical processes in the hair structure are activated. Tissue trophism in the damaged area is improved when applied topically to the problem area of the eyebrows.

When plucking hairs, you can introduce an infection into injured tissues with the subsequent development of an inflammatory process.

Dishes made from apples, liver, and beans help the body overcome stress and get rid of bald spots. It is necessary to increase the consumption of iodine-containing products to prevent the appearance of dry and brittle hairs after they grow in the problem area.

How to grow eyebrows correctly? Video

In order for eyebrow growing to be effective, quick and not take a lot of effort and time, you need to remember the following rules and tips:

Don't pluck your eyebrows. Even if at first the hairs do not grow as you would like, you should be patient and do not grab tweezers or wax. Wait until your eyebrows have grown back enough to begin shaping.
Avoid using makeup around the eyebrows , or at least keep it to a minimum. Cosmetics clog pores and prevent healthy hair growth
Rub the oils onto clean eyebrows, removing in advance any remaining makeup, particles of sweat, dirt, dust, etc. This will allow the oil to penetrate deeply into the base of the hairs, absorb into the skin and act more effectively.
Don't focus on your eyebrows. Usually the process goes more quickly if you let go of the situation and don’t check daily how many mm the hairs have grown
Moisturize and massage the eyebrow area
Practice healthy eating and drink more fluids

How to prepare for the procedure?

The skin must first be prepared. To do this, preliminary exfoliation of keratinized skin particles is carried out.

You should also adjust the shape of your eyebrows in advance, removing all excess hair. To do this, you should use, for example, tweezers or thread.

Immediately before the procedure itself, you should wash off all makeup, cleanse the skin in the eyebrow area and degrease it.

To make the effect even better, you can change your diet before the procedure, eliminating fatty, spicy and sweet foods for several days.

The cleaner the skin in the eyebrow area, the better the paint will adhere and the longer the effect will last.

How long does it take to grow eyebrows?

The speed of hair growth is individual, so it is difficult to name a universal period for growing wide eyebrows. On average, in place of a plucked hair, a new one begins to grow after 4-5 days (about 1 mm). Therefore, in a month or two you can count on the complete restoration of your eyebrows to their previous length.

However, if you resort to the methods discussed above to accelerate growth and improve the structure of eyebrow hair, the first results can be seen within 14 days. The hair will grow back significantly and will be smoother and more voluminous.

How to quickly grow eyebrows in a week?

If the period for growing eyebrows is limited to a week, you cannot do without the support of special products. The cosmetics market offers a wide range of high-tech products designed for effective eyebrow growth. Conventionally, they can be divided into hormonal and non-hormonal. The former contain prostaglandin hormones obtained artificially (bimatoprost, etc.). Popular hormonal drugs to accelerate eyebrow growth include:

Latisse, USA
Careprost, India

Advanced Lash, USA
Volum, Ireland
Rapidlash Eyelash Enhancing Serum, USA
Feg Eyelash Enhancer, China

IMPORTANT: Hormonal drugs are very effective, but they have a number of side effects and contraindications, in particular they cannot be used during pregnancy. Therefore, it is recommended to obtain a doctor's approval before using these products.

Non-hormonal products are safer due to their natural composition, many of which contain the same castor, burdock oil, etc. Accordingly, the effect will not be noticeable as quickly as from the use of hormonal drugs, but will last for a longer time and without risk to health. Among the non-hormonal agents are known:

balm SATURA, Russia
gel Mavala Double-lash, Switzerland
gel Talika Lipocils, France
organic serum Adonia BrowRevive, USA

Elma oil, Russia
stimulator Alerana, Russia

The products are usually equipped with special brushes or brushes for easy application and are used 1-2 times a day.
