Used to think no eyebrows is worse than no hair

[Catagen]

But now I'm convinced lack of eyebrows is like getting cut as compared to losing a limb.

This guy has no eyebrows and still looks normal. Hell, even looks unique with his long ginger hair, lack of eyebrows doesnt hinder him a bit, now imagine if he was bald.

and everyone else from this thread:https://www.hairlosstalk.com/intera...th-of-your-eyebrows-for-a-lifelong-nw1.130220
should reconsider their opinion.

Yeah he looks normal actually. I think maybe the long hair and beard helps, it sort of makes up for loss of framing provided by eyebrows I think. Also he has more of an eyebrow ridge which helps.

But I don't think this applies to everyone though, look up "no eyebrows celebrities" or something like that, the results ain't pretty. A friend of mine digitally removed our eyebrows with a snapchat filter and we looked like lunatics or Frankenstein's monster.

Btw here he is bald:

No eyebrows can be fixed VERY easily btw.

Same principle as a normal hair transplant but now they transplant your "immune to balding" hairs to the eyebrow area.

Only downside is that it will grow like normal hair and you need to trim it...but that's hardly a small inconvenience.

Balding is a complete different level....

I've heard that hair transplanted to eyebrows can eventually start growing like normal eyebrow hair, so that inconvenience is kinda gone as well, and even if it doesn't it's still better than baldness of course.

But the dilemma is more that if you can't do anything to treat it, which one is worse, being bald or having no eyebrows.

Also this, but as seen in the example above, no eyebrows is easier to pull off than no hair.
Id argue that no beard, no body hair and no eyebrows and eyelashes is worth it for NW1.
But its not worth being bald for thick eyebrows, eyelashes, beard and body hair(or no body hair at all depending on what you would like).

That is cause they use hairs from above the ears which are fine and most similar to eyebrows, but if you are balding they will fall out without finasteride interestingly enough since balding men lose those fine hairs at the nape and above the ears. Then you might have to use occipital hairs which are not ideal and you have to shave them like pigeon said.

And for celebrities thing Im not sure that it would look like that if they actually shaved their eyebrows. They look uncanny to you because you are used to seeing them with usually extremely thick eyebrows like Tom Cruise for example.

Also with a thick NW1 you can grow it down to cover where your eyebrows should be, which relieves that issue. I agree with your ranking there. I wouldn't look good without eyebrows, but I wouldn't look good bald either, so I'd just go with NW1 without eyebrows, I'd just grow it out the way I described (that's basically hat I did before this hair loss sh*t started). Although when you are bald, then it's better to have good eyebrows and beard imo.

Interesting about the eyebrow transplant, didn't know that.

Eh idk, no eyebrows is just an uncanny look in general (with some exceptions). Having eyebrows does give important framing and most people have them, so it just doesn't really look natural to not have them. I'd argue that bald in itself is also an uncanny look, the infinite forehead with the horseshoe outline around it looks pretty unnatural.

Yeah just wear bangs or whatever, women and young men wear this style all the time.
Having good eyebrows and beard is essential if you are bald. Otherwise you have absolutely zero framing. Its not as powerful as NW1 framing but beats and an unbounded face.

Also this leads to another question: if you are bald without facial hair and good eyebrows, is it better to have the horseshoe grown out due to the bit of framing it gives?

Has anyone tried latanoprost for eye brow growth?

Minoxidil and folligen cream could work, they sell it in Hairlosstalk shop.
