<< Question #BL001  Eyebrows

My eyebrows are way too small. When I was in 8th grade I plucked them too small and haven't grown them back since. I am too self-conscious about my looks. How can I get back my eyebrows, and quick?   Please help me  - Jenna

>> Answer #BL001  Eyebrows

You're probably out of luck if they haven't grown back by now. You may have to resort to "permanent cosmetics" - tattooing. Just make sure you find a technician who is qualified, and can tattoo the tiny hairs in the proper color, and not thick lines in black. Ask to see photos of their work. Ask for references.   - JP

>> Answer #BL001  Eyebrows

They probably won't grow back. But, I hear, so people use an eyeliner. - Sophyllia

>> Answer #BL001  Eyebrows

I suggest heading over to a MAC cosmetics store. They have these really great angled brushes which mimic eye brow shape. The people who work there are also VERY prone to filling in anyone's eyebrows-- you might end up looking like a drag queen!! So head over there, ask them to fill in your eyebrows LIGHTLY and it will look natural & good, I hate when people use a liner or even liquid liner-- the line ends up looking trashy and fake. - Erica

<< Question #BL002  - eyelashes

Do eyelashes ever grow back? I am 15 years old and I wear regular mascara everyday, it's not waterproof and it's not an expired product. However during the day if I do so much as touch my eyelashes, I lose a few. Every night when I wash off my mascara I lose up to five eyelashes. This is really worrying me and I feel as though I don't have as many eyelashes as I used to, but I'm really curious to know if they'll ever grow back. I don't want to be 20 and have no eyelashes. I think they are my most important feature. ~ Dinenno, Woodbridge

>> Answer #BL002  - eyelashes

Hi, my aunt had the same problem with her mascara. It turned out she had an allergy to it. Try switching to another mascara and try not to apply it so much (like in times when you're just around the house). The lashes you lost should come back. We are losing them all the time, I wipe away at least 3 a day (w/o using mascara) and they are always full. GOOD LUCK! - Ashley

Editor note: Yes, she is right...give your eyelashes a rest from mascara whenever you can. It is also very important that you remove the mascara every night--and completely. Make sure you are not leaving mascara at the base of the eyelash. You could suffocate and/ or clog the root. Castor Oil is great for eyelashes.

>> Answer #BL002  - eyelashes

If you are losing more eyelashes than normal with your mascara, it is too dry. Try soft and beautiful by Maybelline or Prescriptives mascara from Holt Renfrew. throw out mascara after a month (that is the life span since as air gets in the product dries up and loses quality).  Don't pump the wand into the tube, trying to get more product, this also dries the mascara. - E.

<< Question #BL003 - Eyebrow Waxing Botched

I got my eyebrows waxed today and the left one was totally over waxed. My right one looks perfect though. They dont match in shape or size and I look so ridiculous. Is there anything I can do? Product to help hair grow back faster? Make-up to cover the botch-job I got? Anything to help??? - Lauren

>> Answer #BL003 - Eyebrow Waxing Botched

Get a good, sharp eyebrow pencil that matches your eyebrow color, and gently pencil the area in, hair by hair. Not big lines. Use "feather" strokes so it looks like hairs. Waxing is too imprecise for eyebrows. - Ed

<< Question #BL004 - Eyebrows - Waxing

when i get my eyebrows waxed, my makeup won't stick where the wax was applied. how can i prevent this? - tonya, seagoville

>> Answer  #BL004 - Eyebrows - Waxing

Try disolving the wax with warm olive oil. Heat the olive oil in a metal spoon over a gas stove burner or over a candle. Careful--it only takes a few seconds over the stove! Rub it into the waxy area. Then remove the oil with soap & water or alcohol. - Ed

<< Question #BL005 - Eyebrow Color

My eyebrows are pitch black, but my hair is deep brown. I tried to fill the brows in with brown eyebrow pencil, but it just looks like they're tie-dyed or something. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get a softer, brown color for my brows while keeping it cheap and simple? - Grand Rapids

Go to a salon and have them lighten your brows. - Feleena, CA

<< Question #BL006 - Eyebrow Plucking

When I first started plucking my eyebrows, I used to pluck from the top and bottom however until recently I found out that you should never pluck from the top and so I stopped. Now I'm left with a lot of dark hair above my eyebrows and they're really starting to annoy me. What should I do? Please help. - Gina, Ottawa

>> Answer #BL006 - Eyebrow Plucking

The reason for not plucking the eyebrows at the top is to not disturb the natural arch, and flatten them out. Excess hair above that line can be plucked. Just be careful to not pluck across in a straight line. - JP

<< Question #BL007 - Straight Eyelashes

I am 53 years old. My eyelashes appear to be of normal quantity, but they stick straight out. No matter what I do, they will NOT keep a curl. Any new curlers out there, etc? Without a curl to them, you cannot see them.
- Beth, Franklin

>> Answer #BL007 - Straight Eyelashes

You can now get heated eyelash curlers, I have the same problem with straight eyelashes and I find these work a TREAT, everyone thought I was wearing fake lashes - you can buy a pair of heated eyelash curlers online for around $10 (£12) - hope this helped!  - Katherine, Aberdeen

<< Question #BL008 - Eyebrows - Make Darker - Coloring

I have blonde hair and have colored it black. I have used eyebrow pencil or mascara to make my eyebrows black, but it's kinda' itchy. Any ideas other than going to a salon?

>> Answer #BL008 - Eyebrows - Make Darker - Coloring

You can dye your eybrows with the same dye you use to color your hair. You just MUST be very careful not to get any in your eyes. Set aside a small amount of the dye when you do your hair. Apply to your eyebrows using a toothbrush or cotton swab. Try to saturate the eyebrow hairs without getting too much on the skin. Leave it on the same time as your hair...less if your eyebrow hairs are very fine, longer if they are very coarse. When done, scrub with soap and water really well making sure to get the skin under the brows clean.

<< Question #BL009 - Eyebrows - Shaved & Growth Rate

Two years ago I shaved my eyebrows, I have less than half an eyebrow on each side. I have shaved them every morning for two years, and I really want them to grow back. As its the 6 week holidays from school, I have time for them to grow back. But how long will it take for them to grow back? - Maddie, Magdeburg

>> Answer #BL009 - Eyebrows - Shaved & Growth Rate

.16 millimeters per day for shaved eyebrows. However, you will have sharply cut blunt ends. For the grown hairs to complete a full cycle--fall out & grow back--with soft, pointed ends, will take another 56 days for each hair after it is shed. They will shed at different intervals. But don't worry...you will be seeing passable eyebrows that you can darken with an eyebrow pencil in about a week to 10 days (a little over a millimeter and a half or half an inch). You've got plenty of time...

<< Question #NA002 - Nails - Garlic in Nail Polish

Why do they suggest putting garlic in nail polish?  what does garlic do for the nails? - Trigg, Kennewick

<< Answer #NA002 - Nails - Garlic in Nail Polish

I have heard that garlic helps both strengthen the nail and stimulates growth. My [name missing] did this for a while and she saw strengthening but not much growth. I have also heard this is the same with onions.
