Hey everyone, I would really appreciate some advice here.

A few weeks ago I noticed a tiny gap in my eyelashes and I immediately knew that was going to be the start of them, as well as my eyebrows falling out. I have lost almost all of my hair on my head, but I still have some at the back. I haven't had any hairloss from my head in over a month so I am hoping this is a good sign. However, my eyebrows are really starting to thin. I'm not sure if I am going to lose my brows and lashes completely but I want to be prepared, just incase. I have completely come to terms with that fact I have to wear a wig and it doesn't bother me anymore, butI'm not sure how I will react if I don't have eyelashes/brows. I have heard about eyebrow tattoos and other alternatives and I just want to know what you think the best option is. As for eyelashes, there is a salon close to me who apply eyelashes individually. Its just like getting your nails done. You go there and get the set applied and go back every 2 weeks to get them topped up. Has anyone had this done? I was considering stick on, false lashes but I'm not sure I want to get up every morning and apply them and I think I would worry about them falling off. I would also like to know, if anyone has experienced eyelash or brow loss and had them grow back completely or should I wave goodbye to them? My doctor has been no help to me...other than blood tests, I have been given no advice, medication or anything that could posibly help me out, so if anyone could give me any info at all I would be really grateful.

Hi Sarah, I don't have eyebrows too - lost them 3 mths ago I think, it was really hard for me because I was dealing with my hair loss and then bam! eyebrows gone. :) Anyways, I was really panicked because I knew I was going on a beach vacation and that would involve lots of water time. I tried out a few and ended up using this brow pencil called B&C Browlash 24 hrs - something along those lines. I find that it smudges a lot less than other eyebrow pencils that I've tested. It has survived snorkelling sessions - usually 45 mins each time - and I just touch it up after i swim (because I'm self conscious). I'm sure there are tons better out there but so far this works for me.
