Title: Does T Make Your Eyebrows Appear Thicker?

I know testosterone thickens/darkens body hair, but has anybody actually experienced this with eyebrows?

I'd say its well possible...
its just that eyebrows take a while to grow...

Generally yes because testosterone makes eyebrows grow longer and the hair becomes thicker. Your mileage may vary depending on what you're starting with and whether or not you used to pluck. As Laura points out it take time. I wouldn't expect you'd notice anything for many months.

I practically didn't have eyebrows before, so thin and blond. Much darker and thicker now.

Oh man I hope so. My mom plucked the crap out of mine when I was 19, though, so I don't feel very hopeful.

People don't pluck eyebrows once and that is it... there is some regrowth...

Just give it some time  :)

I sure hope so, I've always want to have thinker darker eyebrows... lol... 5 months pass and I can tell the length of the individual hair is longer, and they seem a bit darker.  But not enough to show up on photos yet.  I expect at least a year before seeing significant changes, and possible 2 years to fully take shape.  After all, eyebrows are facial hair... takes forever to grow...  :laugh:

Appear thicker, or actually become thicker?

My eyebrows got so out of control that my barber trims them. They're thicker and wilder than before, and I have a weird sort of Mr. Spock thing going--at a certain length, the hairs grow UP instead of across. Even my father's bushy brows never did that.

I have eyebrow envy now. How long did it take for your eyebrows to reach epic status?

tjack77, probably more than two years. Cis guys aren't done with testosterone-induced changes two years after puberty onset, so we won't be either.

I never really noticed the eyebrows for quite some time, so I'm not sure how long it took. They are a bloody pain in the arse. I can't just let them grow out because they get all weird and curly, and now that I've started trimming them, I have to keep doing it on a regular basis. They're not as bushy as my dad's, but they are just as unruly.

I don't think my brows have changed too much, since my brows have always been on the thick side. I wouldn't be shocked if it does that.

Absolutely! I have thick eyebrows. I have to pluck not only the unibrow part, but I shape the eyebrows themselves and some of the hairs are so thick that I bleed a little. I also have the genetics for body hair. My brother is only a little less hairy than I am and my dad said he was pretty hairy when he was in his 20's-30s.
