It does take a few tries to get the hang of applying SmartBrow.  You want to make sure you get it right while it's still wet because it won't blend after it dries.    You can go online to see a demonstration on how to apply it.

I use SmartBrow as well.  I think it is the best product for eyelashes.  I have one eyebrow that is more thinned than the other one.  So, I just use the SmartBrow and then add a little powder to the thinner eyebrow.  This works great because the gel is still a little wet and it sticks very well and stays in place (I work out a lot and can even wipe the sweat and it stays on).  I use a very thin brush for the powder so it looks very natural.

Thanks Annie,I assume you feel it appears natural as you purchased it twice? Did it take some getting used to, applying it to get that natural look

I have used powder, but it doesn't seem to cover the bare areas as well as the SmartBrow.  The SmartBrow is much like mascara which thickens and stays in place until you take it off with the makeup remover (included with purchase).  It has a tiny brush on one side to fill in bare areas and a mascara-type wand to coat the entire brow area on the other end.  However, as much as I like the product, I've only purchased it twice because it's so darn expensive.  One tube is $29.95, and it lasts only about 6-8 weeks.

I am wondering whether powder or smart-brow (I've seen people mention on this site), looks more natural when brows are sparse. If smart-brow is gel type, salesgirl @ Ulta said their gel brand for brows is meant when just a little fill in is needed.

I have had good luck with using Elidel cream on my brows. On was nearly gone but now I just use a little eye shadow to fill in. The powder works better for me tan a pencil.

I started using 5% Rogaine foam eyebrows as well as my head as soon as I was diagnosed with ffa almost a year ago.   My eyebrows have gotten thinner over the years, but my doctor said that they were not affected by the ffa yet.  My eyebrows and eyelashes have both gotten thicker as a result.  I don't use the Rogaine around my eyes, but my eyelashes have gotten so long that I now have a problem with my mascara leaving dots all around my eyes before it dries.  I did have an initial shed a couple weeks after starting Rogaine, but I never noticed losing any eyebrows.

Since I am still at the stage where I look at everyone's hair everywhere I go, I have two observations. First, I wonder how many cases od FFA are undiagnosed. I see a lot of thinning hairlines. Second, they must be making really natural looking wigs these days, because I never see anyone with what appears to be a wig.

Does anyone know if any of this stuff is available on prescription? I have seen some eyelash serum available on line and I am thinking of buying some. it all seems so hit and miss as to what to do.

I tried Regaine on my brows but it made no difference. I think it's helping slow down front hairloss. Can't be sure of course. I had my brows tattooed and they're wonderful!
