I’ve actually started reading a little about hairbrow transplants recently. In the cases where hairs have been lost due to disease, a disorder or excess plucking, bulbs of hair are removed from the back of the head and implanted on the brow bone. It’s quite a new and specialised procedure, and I don’t personally know of any cosmetic or hair clinics in Australia offering this service, but it’s definitely one to keep a listen-out for. In the meantime, a brow pencil is the best fix-it, as this grips well to skin, as opposed to a brow powder or wax, which are formulated to stick to hairs.
Got a beauty question of your own? Ask away...

You forgot to mention Ardell Brow & Lash Growth Accelerator. It’s a multivitamin treatment in a mascara like tube. I’ve never used it on my brows but it made my lashes grow back thicker and longer (: They sell it at Priceline for about $8, but it’s a bit tricky to find. Worth the search, though!

Thanks Emily - of course, totally forgot about eyebrow accelerators. Slightly less painful than an implant! ModelCo has one too: Lash & Brow Growth Stimulator, $42 (from DJs and modelco.com.au).

Haha ModelCo has this eyebrow hair enhancer called More Brow, basically its a a brush pen gel with hair in it! Hmm..there’s seem to be a problem, what happens when the liquid gel dries up? Does the hair slip off?
