    Expert Answer
    Start with a brow pomade to draw the shape of the brow. Then, apply brow powder to fill in all the gaps. Set your brows with a brow gel to keep the brow hairs in place.

    I have a slit on my eyebrow that's been there for years, probably since I was born. I've tried combing it evenly, but the hairs just revert to their original position. What do I do?
    Community Answer
    You can use eyebrow makeup to conceal it temporarily, or try any of the other tips in the article (like using castor oil). You could also see a dermatologist to see if there are any other solutions.

    Using a castor oil that you can buy at your local drug store helps to grow your eyebrows.
  • Question
    Why do I have a "slit" on my eyebrow where hair doesn't grow?
    Community Answer
    It is probably because your body just doesn't grow hair in that spot, which can sometimes happen for various reasons. I would recommend trying to color it in with an eyebrow pencil.
  • Question
    How can I make the eyebrow pencil mark stay longer?

    You can't. You'll just have to apply eyebrow pencil frequently. You could also try a gel brow product, which may stay better than pencils.

    What if I cut off just the tip of my eyebrow, would that take a shorter time?

    No, it would still take the same amount of time for the hair to grow back, though it probably won't be as noticeable, and will be easier to conceal.

    Community Answer
    If you want to make your eyebrows grow back quicker, use a blend of Vitamin E, coconut oil, and castor oil. Apply it every night before you go to bed and wipe it off in the morning. This is also good to grow and strengthen eyelashes and hair.

    How can I make my eyebrows look more natural after having shaved one too short?

    Try growing out the shaved one quickly by using an eyebrow and eyelash growth serum. In the meantime, make sure you are using the right color and hair-like strokes to draw them on.

    I'm 15 and cut both of my eyebrows off. Will they be back in a month if I use coconut oil?

    Sadly, unless you have a wig with bangs, then you can't really hide it. Just tell your parents and ask them to help you.

  • Question
    I am afraid everyone is going to laugh at me, what should I do?
    Community Answer
    If the eyebrows is shaved off fully, you can try drawing it back on or, better yet, going to a beauty specialist. If only a part of it is shaved off you can try hiding it with your hair. For fast brow growth use vitamin E oil every night.

    Everyone's eyebrows grow back at a different speed; maybe 2 weeks? You only shaved it off (cutting the hair at the surface of the skin), so it will be quicker than having to grow a whole new follicle.

  • Question
    I cut a slit in my eyebrow with a nail clipper, and I actually like it, but how do I hide it from my parents without makeup?
    Community Answer
    I suggest a hood or a hat that creates a shadow over your eyebrows so that it's harder to tell. You could also tie a bandanna around your head, but if you've never done this before, they might find it suspicious.
  • Question
    I accidentally cut off part of the middle of my eyebrow. I have no money of my own and I don't want my mum to know. Are there any ways to fix it without makeup or buying them? Home items would be good.
    Community Answer
    Use a colored pencil (or pencil crayon) that is the closest color to your eyebrow. Put it in hot water for 2 minutes and color in the space. It is completely safe and non-toxic and very natural.
