What To Do If You Overpluck Your Brows

Posted by Almeda Bohannan on Tuesday, May 14, 2024

The solution to overplucked brows could be hiding in your bathroom already. Polina Voiler, a professional brow expert and permanent makeup artist, explained the benefits of castor oil, which encourages hair growth and is affordable. "Castor [oil] can help condition hair to grow smoother without breaking off," she said. She added that "lash and brow serums work wonderfully on existing hair." But Voiler says, "Nothing will regrow follicles that have been dead for over [six] months. Cosmetic tattoo is the best choice."  

Meanwhile, celebrity brow and lash guru Melina Cespedes, who has worked on some of the best brows in Hollywood such as Karol G, Becky G, and Kardashian stylist Caesar Ramirez, stressed that an eyebrow intervention may be necessary. "Eyebrows are not a DIY project — they live on your face 24/7/365. My number one tip is to let a professional brow stylist do their magic." If you're willing to splurge, cosmetic tattoos are having a moment. Cespedes tells The List, "My magic is 'Henna Brows' — a service we offer at Lash Society Miami. Henna will hide any over plucking [for two to three] weeks while hair grows by dying the skin and hair." 

If you constantly overpluck your eyebrows and are not afraid of commitment, eyebrow tattoos like microblading can also give you a reprieve while the hairs grow in.
