What can I do about my eyebrow hair loss?

Question

I am 21years old I am black female and I have naturally thin eyebrows. I never got my eyebrows wax a lot until one day I did decide to get the wax the lady made my eyebrows super thin and my eyebrow has not grown since thin. I have tried different types of oils such as castor oil, coconut oil, olive oil, i have even tried Vaseline and rapid brow and it did not work. I was thinking of trying minoxidl or latisse. It is super thin by outer part of my eyebrow.

Eyebrows can be improved with a combination of viviscal, prp and progesterone. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a hair loss expert. Best, Dr. Emer

My first treatment would be to try topical Latisse.  In some patients it seems to help grow eyebrows.  As you may know it is approved for eyelash growth.  If this fails to help the next step would be eyebrow transplant.  We take a few hairs from the scalp and insert them in the brow area.  It is a relatively minor type of hair transplant with only a couple of down days.  Good luck

Jeff Donovan, MD, PhD · Answer

It would be appropriate to see your dermatologist to review your eyebrows up close. Likely blood tests will be ordered to make sure you have no specific blood test abnormalities that could impair growth. Options at that point (if blood tests are normal and dermatoscopic exam is normal) would include minoxidil, bimatoprost (Latisse) and hair transplantation.

Eyebrow transplants in African Americans can be challenging so you must be examined first before one can make a recommendation
