Hey Kristen,

My hair loss sounds similar to yours. When I started to lose the hair on my head, I figured it would just stop there. But, it was my senior year in high school, and I was a cheerleader, and I was at a game on a Friday night, and I was stretching before the game, and I reached down to my right side to grab my foot and stretch and realized my legs were completely smooth and it had been like a week since I'd shaved. I thought to myself, there's no damn way this is true. Later that night I looked in the mirror, and on my left eye, there was a clump of about 4-5 eyelashes missing right from my top lid. I started crying! It was horrible! I realized I was on a downward spiral losing all of my body hair, too. My hair wasn't completely gone either. By the time I lost almost everything, my lashes and brows had caught up and they were almost completely gone too. It was so devastating, like I know it is for you now. But, somehow, you get better each day at applying the eyebrow stuff and eye liner, and it becomes easier. I believe the onset of my alopecia was stress related too. But, yes, I agree with everyone here, you should just find a solution that works for you. Either draw them on, get the injections, get them tattooed, or whatever makes you feel the best about you. I wish you the best of luck! Have fun in Mexico!!

Hi Kristen
I have just recently lost my eyebrows too. It was the one thing that I hoped wouldn't go, but of course now they are gone. I am very sad that this happened and I am mourning the loss. Doing the pencil them in right now, but my bangs on my wig covers it up. Sorry to hear about your loss too, try to hang in there!!

Eyebrow loss is the toughest thing. It's like I dont have an expression to my face.
I do have the tattood euebrows and that helps alot but they fade rather quickly so I go in for touch ups every 2-3 months.
I've been on a diet to lose a few extra pounds so at least I can get my jawline back.

hey kirsten. i know how you feel. ive lost my eyebrows twice! it really does suck. what i did was i penciled them on. i just put a little bit on when i went out untill i got used to it. the worst thing though was when i lost them the first time. after they grew back it was only a matter of days before they fell out again. i hope youll feel better soon.
lots of luv
kayden
