    For me, a shorter hair cut and Keranique for hair loss and patchy scalp.  Has the Minoxidil to help.  Pricey but works.

      No, not the eyebrows.  If you notice my picture I have dark auburn hair.  I noticed over the season my eyebrows when white/gray while my hair is dark like in my pic.  But I guess I will take it..better my hair turning white/gray and my eyebrows stay dark..LOL.  I would look at a beauty store or a place that does makeup and see if they have any ideas like an eye brow pencil.  But I guess if you use the Keranique, when you wash your hair with the Keranique system, use it on eyebrows too.

      Lia, eyebrow loss is a typical sign of underactive thyroid, though I believe SS in general will do it. When I was young I had a single thick, jet-black eyebrow all across my face - like that famous female Mexican artist I can't mention or I'll get taken down! I was constantly plucking at the middle so at least I could separate them into two, but it was a thankless task. Then they virtually disappeared as SS and the resulting hypothyroidism took hold. Sometimes I feel I'd quite like my big eyebrow back!wink

      I get round it by brushing them on with a dark-grey eye-shadow. I find this gives a more natural look than a brown eyebrow pencil, which tends to look ginger against my colouring (mixture of grey/dark-brown hair with pale, yellow-toned complexion). If you choose a good brand, it should stay on all day - as long as you remember not to touch your brows and to check yourself in a mirror from time to time. There's nothing worse than looking in a mirror at lunch time after a taxing morning in the office, to find you've only got one eyebrow left!

      Does your eyebrows grow back? Or its never come back?

      Mine didn't. They started thinning slightly around the menopause (age 45) then upped and left more or less completely about 10 years later, after I'd started getting Sjogren's symptoms. I still have a few stray hairs, which are still black, but they grow ridiculously long - at least 2cm - and just look weird, so I pluck them out anyway. I know they'll never grow back now - I'm 72, and women tend to lose their eyebrows a bit with age anyway. However, if you're young I suppose there's a chance they might come back.
