I shaved my eyebrows with my dad's shaver. how long till it grows back?

They were bushy and thick, I was getting tired and sick of having them.. so I used my dad's shaver to shave kinda the underneath and little of the top (stupid I know) and now they the left brow looks bigger than the right one.. the right ones thin. I have side bangs.. that helps I guess.. how long does it take for them to grow back??

My hair kinda grows fast I don't know please tell me, i didn't shave them completely all off just the ends i feel so stupid please help

Get a good eyebrow pencil and shade them in until they grow back, but like someone has said it can take ages but yours might come back really quickly :smile:
Aw, It's Okay- Im sure they will grow back eventually! I'm not too sure if im honest. I once shaved my eyebrows- and they were never the same again. When they returned they were very thin. :frown: Like I had none. But it's okay because in todays world we have eyebrow pencils- and all sorts to give impression of a healthy brow :smile: I hope yours grow back nicely!

I don't know if this helps but I plucked the hair from the middle part of my toes a couple of months back (I was bored and they were annoying me) and they've never properly come back.

Don't mention it. :smile:
You could get those stick on moustaches and cut them into eyebrow shapes? lol.. Sorry..

Errrm... Yeah probably best not to shave them but you already have... yeah I have no idea how long they'd take to grow back.. I know that you can have them tattooed on now and that actually looks really nice (done by a beautician and not a tattoo artist lol).

Yeah I don't think anybody threads their own eyebrows. People either pluck them themselves or have them threaded by a professional.

All hair gets thicker and grows quicker after you shave it I think. That's why you're not meant to shave your arms and that's why it's horrible when men shave their chests etc.

You should shave them off so they look the same. :smile:

Urban myth.

The hairs are cut at a blunter angle which gives the illusion of the regrowth being thicker.

I like the way someone on tsr positive repped you for stating you shaved your eyebrows off with your dads shaver :smile:

Not much much you can do other than an eyebrow pencil as suggested, it doesn't hurt.

I wouldn't recommend shaving to make it even, chances are you might make it even more uneven. If you do do this I suggest getting someone else to do it for you.
Upload a pic, could do with a laugh.
Bad move.
