eyebrows
Hey guys,
Before I transitioned, I had a very femme presentation and plucked my eyebrows to a fairly thin arch for almost ten years, and they'd already pretty much stopped growing back for the most part. I've read that the hair does eventually stop growing when you do that because you just damage the cuticle too much. So, I figured I'd be dealing with feminine eyebrows for the rest of my life.
Not so! They're growing back on T, and quite well so far. I can't explain it. My theory is that my male eyebrows are naturally bushy enough that they're decently thick even with all the damaged cuticles among them. That's all I can think of, because it doesn't make any sense to me that T would reverse the damaged ones.
Anyway, I figure I can't be the only one who did this to my eyebrows in the past. So I thought chances are that a few folks might take comfort in hearing this. They can grow back! :-)
