Wash your face daily using a mild facial cleanser. Remove all makeup, dirt and oil from your eyebrows so the pores remain open, thus facilitating hair growth. Use a facial moisturizer on your eyebrow hair when moisturizing the rest of your face to keep the skin under your eyebrows supple. This also helps with hair growth and health.

Avoid using harsh chemicals, such as hair dyes or tints, on your eyebrows. The dye will weaken the hair shaft and irritate the skin underneath.

Talk to your doctor if you notice that your eyebrows are thinning. He may suggest some tests to determine whether the hair loss is caused by a medical condition. For example, eyebrow loss is a symptom associated with hypothyroidism.

Avoid excessive tweezing of the eyebrows. Repeated hair removal will eventually cause the hair follicle to stop producing new hair. Avoid using harsh depilatory products frequently on your eyebrows. Take care when using hot wax to shape the brows, and do not allow the wax to adhere to hair that you do not want removed.

5
Add hair-strengthening vitamins to your daily routine. Hair follicles respond to vitamins B, C and E. In addition to supplementing your diet with vitamins, increase your dietary intake of foods containing those vitamins. Eat plenty of fresh fruits, beans, nuts and eggs.
