Can you permanently damage your eyebrow follice like your scalp if you accidently light it on fire for seconds?

I remember back in high school when I lit a cigarette one time, I burnt one of my bangs, and the fire was put out quick(also since hair burns so quickly). But I think I felt it on my eyebrow, and I checked and I recalled having a bushier and longer eyebrow on the sides between the nose bridge. And I think I had some more hairs to be a more feint unibrow.
