Hands up if you went a little too hard on your brows in the 90’s or 00’s (we’ve all been there!). Overplucked eyebrows can leave you feeling like your face has lost its natural frame, and loss of brow confidence is a real thing!

The good news? Full, healthy brows can make a comeback. You just need the right approach and a little bit of patience. Here’s how I guide my clients through fixing overplucked brows the right way.

1. Step away from the tweezers

How many of us pick up the tweezers weekly? We know it’s tempting to keep plucking those strays, but this is the number one reason brows don’t grow back. You need to give the hairs at least 8–12 weeks of freedom so your hair growth cycle has a chance to reset.

At your first visit, we ask you to grow your brows as much as possible, let them grow so we can see all your hair growth. Only then do we remove those stray hairs, targeting them and removing them at the same time allows the regrowth to potentially grow again at the same time in the cycle. This offers cleaner brows for longer.

Tip: if the strays really bother you, make a booking with a professional so that nothing important gets taken away. You should only need to see your Brow Artist every 4+ weeks.

2. Nourish and encourage growth

Just like the hair on your head, your brows (and lashes) need love; brow hair needs conditioning. You wouldn’t wash, colour and blow-dry your hair without conditioning it, would you? No. It’s the same for your brows. Brow hairs are fragile and so much fewer, they need conditioning too – and, more so if you have brow treatments.

To maintain hair growth, strength and health, brow hairs need serum. Not just any serum, it must be a conditioning, nourishing growth serum (like KE Lash & Brow Serum) which conditions and strengthens your brows so they can grow back thicker and healthier.

A quick nightly massage and brush with a spoolie around your brows also helps stimulate blood flow and wakes up any lazy follicles.

And don’t forget the inside-out approach: foods rich in iron, biotin and omega-3s all help support hair growth too.

3. Fake it while you make it

No one wants to feel “brow-less” while waiting for overplucked eyebrows to grow back. That’s where good styling products come into play. A soft brow pencil for extra hair strokes, or brow styling soap to hold them up, and a little highlight pencil under the brow bone makes such a difference.

4. Consider ‘Happiness for Eyebrows’ for brow health

Considered highly beneficial, Brow Gold is the most popular brow treatment in Russia and Europe, where it’s known as “Happiness for Eyebrows.”

Known for regenerating the eyebrows. It’s a treatment for restoring the natural structure, deeply moisturising, thickening and nourishing the brows from the inside out. It delivers an instant transformation of the eyebrows, which leaves brows feeling incredibly silky and rejuvenated.

The treatment can be performed on both brows and lashes and has a cumulative effect, with each subsequent visit adding 10% in volume and density. The ingredients include biotin, highly concentrated provitamin B5, cardamom, acai berry extract, amino acids and vitamin E.

5. Be patient! (I promise, it’s worth it)

Brow growth takes time. Everybody is different, and it can take a few months before you notice changes. But with the right care, consistency, and a little expert guidance, fuller brows will happen.

Your future brows will thank you!
