Hi moonjewell, I have had sparse eyebrows on the outer edges for all my life, but since I never paid my eyebrows any attention until 2003, I just went about life completely oblivious to the fact that they are an essential beauty asset. Then I discovered the websitewww.eyebrowz.com and realized there's such a thing as shaping them. I did some plucking to create an arch as directed but that just made them look even sorrier than they were...so drawing them in became a skill I excelled in.
Well, I discovered that SkinBio had an eyebrow regrowth program and was intrigued. Turns out copper peptides do thicken hair...so if thin hairs are your problem then it may just work for you. In the time I've focused on eyebrows, I've used Castor oil (people said it regrew the hair--and without realizing that I never had hair follicles on the out edges of my eyebrows judging from my baby pics, I gave it a try)... I've used an essential oil concoction that grew back bald spots on my head; Ardell Brow Growth Accelarator, Emu oil, Brow Gain by Damon Roberts--the Eyebrow King...and they were I guess to thank for any changes that occurred between 2004 and 2008 in the main part of my eyebrow where I always had hair. I just couldn't say which one worked the best, since I didn't really stick to any religiously or pay attention. Because I draw my eyebrows in pretty well, and it doesn't take me more than a couple of minutes to do so, I usually drop the ball in the growing journey. Then now I don't bother because my baby photos confirmed to me that my outer edges never had hair so no follicles exist.
I shared my results on the SkinBio forum (link) below. What I do believe is that Folligen may thicken the hairs and make them appear darker and therefore less "invisible". Minoxidil which it is advised to be used with Folligen is a product I'm not a fan of because it's the active ingredient in Rogaine and while it WILL grow the hair in--meaning you'll grow more hairs albeit very fine ones, which Folligen may then thicken--you must never stop using Minoxidil or all the hair you grew with it will fall out. And I hate the idea of having that sort of life-sentence. So if I were you, I'd just try the thickening product. (Link to the SkinBio thread where I posted my results)
Oh and I don't believe products that make eyelashes longer will thicken eyebrows. Getting hair long and filling in hair are two different things. I think the lengthening products may just make your eyebrows long enough for a comb-over. 
Many products on the market that promise eyebrows cost the price of a small kidney and that's w/o any results being shown so I just give them the side-eye. An example is a product that used to be sold by American Hairloss R&D Institute. Seems the website is non-existent now but it was $98 for a product whose results I couldn't be sure. The website used to bewww.eyebrowregrowth.com but now I can only find a cached image of the site. Here's the cached page showing the ingredients which sounded really good but not worth $98 for two 10 ml bottles. Yes, I'm cheap LOL. And the fact that it's gone POOF! just makes me feel even better that I never spent my money on something that didn't have any staying power.
Then there's Brow Revive Serum which is not that cheap either but I don't remember there being results for the brow product. They say it addresses hormonal loss so maybe you could write and ask them more about it.
Billion Dollar Brows though which I have used does show results--but I suspect you need to have had follicles there in the first place--which in your case you do--for these products to work. My sparse edges I don't think were ever going to benefit from the product.
I hope throwing so many things at you hasn't confused you but offered you a variety from which you can find a solution. |
