Eyebrow Matters

EYEBROW MATTERS

BY SARAH CHAPMAN, ALLURE MEDI SPA & BEAUTY LOUNGE

A deeper look at the causes of eyebrow loss

It’s hard to stay on eyebrow trend with different eyebrow thicknesses coming in and out of style, and over the years excessive waxing and plucking for that super thin eyebrow may have caused your eyebrows to not grow back!

Along with the abuse from tweezers and wax pots, conditions or practises such as excessive physical exercise, nutritional deficiencies (yes that’s right - depriving your body of whole food groups can too have a result on your brows), emotional stress, hormonal imbalances and even the use of incorrect skin care products/routines can all have a drastic impact on ones brows. Further to this we add medical conditions such as an under-active thyroid which can cause women to lose as much as one third of the hair on their eyebrows.

Aging unfortunately can cause hair loss or thinning over the entire body, including eye brows!

Luckily though there are ways to stimulate the hair follicle and re-grow our eyebrow hairs! Finding a good eyebrow therapist who is committed to work with you and research why your eyebrow hairs aren’t growing back is essential! In salon treatments such as professional serums and crèmes as well as light therapies can stimulate the hair follicle.

There is also homework you can be doing at home to help achieve a fast result.

Rubbing castor, coconut or olive oil over your eyebrows before going to bed can promote hair growth. It may seem strange but applying onion juice to your eyebrows can also increase your hair growth – and whilst the smell won’t be great- do it for your brows!!

It is also essential to keep up with major stimulating nutrients such as vitamins A, E and D which promote hair growth, as well as vitamin B to reduce the effects of the bodily stress responses. It has been said that a combination similar to this and the use of flaxseed oil will work wonders from the inside out!

When it comes to maintenance, avoid plucking your eyebrows at home. Your eye brows are not only individual to you in their shape, but also in how they grow. For this reason only let your trusted eyebrow therapist wax, shape and tweeze your eyebrows to ensure the only hairs being removed are always going to be the unnecessary ones and not simply a longer, straggler that could have been used to create fullness!
