Is it normal for eyebrows not to grow back after over-plucking?

  • If you pull your hair out habitually, sometimes there will be permanent bald patches. A month might be too soon to tell, though. I've heard of it taking 8 to 12 weeks for eyebrows to completely regrow.

    I have trichotillomania (a mental disorder where you compulsively pull your own hair, eyelashes, or eyebrows out), and there's a spot on the back of my head where my hair is permanently thinner from pulling my hair out. It's not noticeable by sight, but you can tell if you feel my hair.

    Do you find it difficult to not pick your eyebrows out of habit, or were you just doing it intentionally to make them thinner?

    • I was intentionally doing it to make them less bushy. Thanks for your answer. I'll wait a few more weeks and see if there's any improvement.
