Advice For Eyebrow Transplant, Age 21, Tough Hair Texture

ORIGINAL POST

Motivation: Born with sparse, thin and not full...

Hello21223
WORTH IT$2,500
Motivation:
Born with sparse, thin and not full brows.
Interested in having eyebrows that are full and does not disappear in bright light such as being outdoors in the sun.
Very insecure about myself
Had about 500 hair inputted, not all had grown out yet.

Pros:
I have brows now, and fewer insecure

Cons:
Hair grows wildly
Have trouble putting it at an angle
Other people can tell what happened

Solution toward Outcome:
I tried trimming it but turns sparse and much more difficult to put down when hair shortens.
I have tried;
Gel- works in putting my hair down but the hair turns very shiny. ( "Got-2-glue" was the only that was strong enough )
Pomade- even the strongest one had no chance against my hair.
Hardest clay - put it down a little bit, but still, lack the power.
Heat- using an eyelash curler to curl the hair but still lack the bending power.

Still looking for solutions, some tips would be great.

I still question if this was better.

I do not use make up, sorry, no chance :(

Feeling a bit depressed right now, due to this issue.

Also, staying anonymous and hiding my identity, so my peers do not find out.

Not sure if this would work, but try this: Wet the eye brow hairs, then as they are damp (before they dry) spray some Hairspray (strong hold) on a Q-tip or cotton ball and apply in the direction you want to hold them down. But you need to buy a strong hold hairspray.

Thank you for the idea, I will attempt to work it.
One trouble is that even dampening the hair, the hair still stands up straight. It seems that my hair is pricky and really strong.

sadly, the hairs will always grow in the wrong direction and prickly like a hedgehog. You need to either have them lasered or ipl.

Go to a Cosmatology place where they perm eyelashes and try getting your eyebrows permed so see if that will help.
August 4, 2018
Yes, I have tried the perming agent. The only issue is that the hair would only stay that way for two weeks at max.
July 7, 2022
why wont you do it every two weeks then?

and also do your brows stick well after perm

Can you tell me the name of your dr/office? Would you recommend?
December 8, 2018
I don't recommend my doc , sry.

Oribe Rock Hard Gel. I read if you use it for a couple of months the hair will eventually be trained to lay flat.
October 4, 2018
I tried it and it didn't help at all
.cost a lot of money and does not help! still looking for a solution

Regret , Mentally fatigued, Depressed and losing hope

Hello21223
I had more of a mental battle than physically fighting it to move it the way it is. If you are experienced, I would really like to relate to someone who has been through this.
I would look through the digital and physical for help in making these nice.

Hello I'm African american, i had eyebrow transplant a year ago, regular eyebrow gel is of no help ,i use a hair gel called "got to be glue"it will slick even the most unrully hair down in ANY direction i habe curly/ coily hair and the gel by far tames it.at the end of the day i wash with gentle hair shampoo to remove gel. I hope this helps in some way
May 23, 2018
Is the got to be glue too shiny?
May 27, 2018
I have experinced that of i put way to much doesn't take much becaise when you apply the gel i ise a eyebrow brush to brush it and also use fingers to lay it down
May 25, 2019

Biggest Mistake/Regret

Hello21223
I regret doing FUT so much!!!
As a male, I like my hair short but now a linear scar has haunted me. I must keep my hair 4 or long to prevent it from being seen.
Please!! Do FUE! It is worth the cost!!
Also, make your doctor pre-mark the transfer area for the follicles days beforehand! Don't do it on the day of the procedures, because mine is misaligned and asymmetrical due to this reason.
I am now doing a MSP to cover the scar up.

Hi! Try seeing an esthetician for a treatment called “Brow Lamination”. They apply a solution to your eyebrows that soften the hairs and make them lay flat. It’s a temporary procedure that lasts only about a month, but I think it could help to retrain your hair to grow flat while looking better in the meantime.
