If you’ve ever looked in the mirror after a threading session and thought, “What if they never grow back the same?” you’re not alone. Eyebrow threading is a popular method to get those clean, sharp brows we all love, but it often comes with one big question: Do eyebrows grow back after threading?
Well, let’s talk about it. I’m here to answer your burning questions and ease that brow anxiety (we’ve all been there!).
The short answer is yes, eyebrows typically grow back after threading.
Threading only removes hair from the surface and doesn’t damage the hair follicle (which is what actually produces the hair). So unless there’s some underlying health issue or repeated over-threading that’s caused long-term damage, your brows are just taking their sweet time to return.
That being said, everyone’s hair grows at a different pace. Some people notice regrowth in just a few days, while others might need a couple of weeks.
Here’s the thing: if you’ve been threading your eyebrows regularly and removing the same hairs over and over, your hair follicles might get weaker. That means they can grow back thinner, or in some cases, not at all. It’s kind of like waxing over time: consistent removal can slow down regrowth.
Ever notice tiny gaps or areas that don’t, fill in like they used to? That’s probably what’s going on. But don’t panic; it’s not necessarily permanent, especially if you give your brows a break.
If you’re in that frustrating in-between stage or worried that your brows are thinning, here are some tips to help:
1. Stop threading (just for a bit):
Give your eyebrows some downtime! Let them grow out naturally for 4–6 weeks without touching them. It might look a little wild at first, but it’s worth it.
2. Use brow serums or oils:
Castor oil, coconut oil, or over-the-counter brow growth serums can help nourish the follicles and encourage regrowth. Massage it gently every night.
3. Stay healthy:
Hair growth depends a lot on your overall health. Make sure you’re getting enough vitamins (like biotin and Vitamin E), staying hydrated, and keeping stress in check.
4. Be kind to your brows:
No harsh rubbing when removing makeup, no excessive plucking, and please—avoid the urge to “fix” them every other day. Let them breathe!
If your brows haven’t grown back at all after several months, it might be worth checking with a dermatologist. Sometimes, hair loss can be related to hormonal imbalances, skin conditions, or even genetics. And it’s always better to get professional advice if something feels off.
If you’ve been through this, maybe your brows grew back thinner, or they didn’t grow back in certain areas- we’d love to hear from you. What helped? What didn’t? Share your experience in the comments, or share your go-to brow recovery routine.
We’re all in this together, eyebrow anxiety and all.
So, next time you’re nervously checking your brows post-threading, just remember: they will most likely grow back. Give them some love, a little time, and maybe a drop or two of castor oil. You’ve got this 💪.
