Check with your physician for an anemia test. Iron is necessary in providing oxygen to cells that encourage hair growth. A lack of iron in the body, known as anemia, may be limiting eyebrow hair growth. Improve iron and protein levels in the body once the test is confirmed by eating leafy green vegetables, fish, eggs, dairy, fresh fruits and vegetables on a daily basis.
