Having thin eyebrows

[andrews49]

I used to have very thick eyebrows when I was younger, but as I started getting older I plucked them thin because I was presenting as female at the time. Now since I accepted myself as male, I've been letting them grow. But they grow back so thin since all the damage I did by plucking and waxing. I'm 5 months on T and they are still thin and growing in patches. I tried everything from eyebrow kits to make them look thicker, to temporary eyebrow tattoos I ordered online. The eyebrow tattoos were horrible and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. When I draw them thick they look so fake and if I groom my eyebrows and put makeup on the hair only and not the skin, they look thin and feminine. I don't want to go out and be misgendered since my face still looks a bit feminine.

Does anyone have any advice or tips?

i honestly don't think your eyebrows look that bad, i wouldn't think too much about it if i saw you irl and i think they will grow back to being full because they're already growing in again, right? i have really "nice" eyebrows (according to the women i know..) and it doesn't get me misgendered, even with a baby face still and only being 2 months on T. i wouldn't worry too much about it, it takes time like everything else does. i think we worry too much about little things because we worry they'll get us misgendered when in reality, no one cares.

Your eyebrows aren't bad at all.  They look a lot like mine did when I was pre-T and in the early months.  Funny thing is that they thickened up a bit with more hair after about a year on T - but the fat redistribution in my face and brows actually changed the way they sit, so it's not even a big deal.  Just be patient.

I know someone who was very unhappy with his and got eyebrows tattooed in (permanently), and he is happy with his results. T might help some after a year or two. Yours are thicker than his so you might do better. 5 months isn't very long.

Thanks guys. I guess I was looking too much into it. I'll look up some remedies to make eyebrow hair grow faster.

Time would probably help a bit with evening things out at least. I wish we could decide where our hair would grow first. I want more on my hands and less in my nose myself.

I heard that castor oil can help make eyebrows grow faster...idk how true that is, but it couldn't hurt to do some research I guess

I think revlon has some "grow luscious" serum thing for eyelashes and eyebrows to make it thicker and stuff. I'm sure there are other brands as well but it is probably expensive
