Growing back my eyebrows week 4

Well this week has just flown! I've been a very good girl and applied the product twice a day. I have to say it!! I have eyebrows now! real one's, hair and every thing. There are still gaps in the brow line I wish were not there and hairs in places that will have to be plucked (wastage!) but overall I'm rather pleased, not hoot and holler pleased but not toss my minoxidil in the bin either. There are only two weeks left of this trial and I don't think it's going to be long enough to achieve the results I want. From what I understand eyebrow hair has a ninety day growth cycle so to see a true result I think I would have to monitor for at least that long. I believe at the end of the six week trial I'll have my brows shaped and pencil in whats missing from the equation and see if I can get those few late comers to arrive at the party within ninety days, still using the minoxidil and biotin.
 Dear god I wish I could show this amount of dedication to a diet!.

Sigh, this really is taking a long time :( if only it was like that episode of the Simpson's where Homer pulls an insurance scam to get Minoxidil covered on his insurance, you know the one, he wakes up the morning after the first application with a head of long flowing locks. Bloody cartoons! NOT HELPFUL!!!
I am still noticing new growth in my brows, the hairs are very fine and not really filling in the gaps at this stage but I'm hopeful that more will grow. I have resisted the urge to free the tweezers and tidy up around the edges as (like a lawn) hairs are sprouting in less than desirable spots as well. When my six weeks are up I will have them professionally shaped and they can weed out the spares.

I've edited out the rest of my face this week, the closer I bring the camera the worse I look. Can you see a difference yet?

My second week following my brow care regimen has been an interesting one. It's bloody working!!! I have new hairs growing on the tail end of both my brows, and on top as well. A few fine hairs are appearing in the over plucked arch (very excited). I think there looking a bit fuller but then I spend a lot of time gazing at them lately.

I know bad pic, I've got the flu....sniffle

Growing back my eyebrows week 1

It has been a fortnight since my last chat but only a week since I have begun on my new eyebrow treatment regimen, (waiting on delivery). Here is what my growth kit looks like.

The minoxidil is a 5% mixture and the label reads not for woman but I've chosen to ignore that ;)
The baby toothbrush is used to apply the product to the brows as I found the brow brush not absorbent enough and a cotton bud to absorbent. I take the biotin twice a day.
Results??? well I have experienced some light peeling in the brows which has lightened my tattooed brows, initially I thought my brows where getting thinner and I have had a little hair breakage.
Happily though I also see some new hair growth, tiny little hairs growing above.
My skin isn't overly pleased with this new toxin, and I have had a couple little itchy pimples on my brow line, but I shall persevere.

Bring on week two and Angelina Jolie eyebrows ;)

Growing back my eyebrows,

Fashion is an unstable beast, we all at times are guilty of attempting to dance with the monster. In the 90's I did more than dance. I moved the creature in and gave it a room in my life. Having a relationship with fashion does not have to be a life changing event, so you have a few pictures of your self wearing big shoulder pads with your fringe teased into a huge ball held in place by a whole can of hair spray, for the kids to laugh at. Nothing to damaging we all have a giggle, a good time is had by all.
 As a high school student with (what I thought) was an incredibly unfashionable mother, all of my fashion tips came from TV. Damn you 21 Jump street! you had me walking around like a complete tool, big hair, odd earrings, torn clothes and pencil thin eyebrows! Yep can't even remember which actor wore them that way but at the time I had to have them.
 I wasn't sure how to achieve the look I wanted. so initially I shaved, using the same blade I massacred my legs with, I took to my face with equal zeal. Bit off the top, bit of the sides, a little under there and BAM! pencil eyebrows.
The next day at school an older girl took sympathy on me in the change room after seeing my botch job, she reached into her bag and bought out a pair of tweezers, then with her face one inch from the spotty soap sprayed mirror she demonstrated there use. From this day forward I was hooked! every day I would mange to find a hair or two to remove, though my brows never fully recovered from that first shave.
Now here I am with my forties prancing gleefully in front of me, my tweezers have been stored in the first aid box from whence they came for several years, but my brows have not recovered. It appears eyebrows have a great memory, either that or there to scared to regrow in case they get culled again.
Sigh..... so after a little research, (thank you google gods) I have found some information about how to assist my brows to regrow.
This YouTube video seemed to have the most comprehensive advice, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkjmKVUX-rU

 As soon as I finished watching this video I got online and purchased the Biotin 5000mg, minoxidil 5% and nice new eyebrow brush. I intend to document my progress over the next 6 weeks, starting with the oh so scary before photo.

OK, so that's my scary mug and my eyebrows, I must say they don't look to bad :) but to be truly honest they are lightly tattooed.
 When the products arrive, I will apply twice a day, and take the supplements.
After a 7 day period I will take a new pic so we can all see if there is any change. Then again after the next 7 days until we get to the estimated 6 week period.

So here's hoping, while I'm waiting I might check the YouTube video's to see if there's a way of making my nose smaller ;)
