Overplucked my eyebrows. Will they ever reach original shape?

Hi, I over-plucked my eyebrows today and they completely lost their shape. My eyebrows used to be very arched and now seem to be dull and lifeless. My arch is completely gone.

My eyebrows tend to grow pretty quickly, but what really concerns me is if I will ever get the shape back. How likely is it that my eyebrows will return to their original, arched shape?

Thank you

    You've got 50/50 chance!

    Eyebrows, & lashes, including facial hair only grow a certain speed & length.

    Putting anything on them, specially vaseline does NOTHING to the growth.

    That's why someone invented eyebrow pencils.

    My sister plucked her eyebrows when she was 17, ONE TIME, and they never grow back. She had double mastectomy by age 35. Even now that she's in her 60's, they never grow back, she never had chemo, either, but every morning she would use eyebrow pencil to line her eyebrows out. Mom had Paget Cancer by age 89, and her underarm hair never grow back, she also doesn't have legs hair. She does have a lot of hair on hear head, pubes, and eyebrows, eyelashes, no mustache.

    And after all that, and you still can’t grow facial hair, read this Salt Lake City Blog: The Secret Handshake - Facial Hair Advice From Bearded Ladies.

    Also Google: Woman pays $10,000 for a facial hair transplant to fix her eyebrows after years of hairy disasters 9-21-14.

    Changing hormones can make eyebrows and lashes sparse. Years of over-tweezing damage the eyebrow follicles, making it harder for hairs to grow back.

    Yeah ofcourse they'll come back. You can probably try filling them out with a pencil.
