Holy Eyebrows!

As you probably know, I've been a little eyebrow aware.  I haven't been too worried though.  Actually about 1.5 years ago, I noticed the middle of my far right eyebrow had a parallel white line of hair .  It was like the color was just gone.  I didn't think much about it but I started getting my eyebrows colored when I got my hair colored.  Simple Simon.  Then about a year ago, I noticed my right eyebrow...the far outside end....all went white.  Couldn't tell as long as I kept them colored.  Early January, I noticed the hair was thinning in my right brow.  This is when I noticed the potential lump.  So eyebrow issue isn't new to me.  But by the time of radiation, the hair was almost gone.  During radiation, it seemed gone all together...from the middle out.

I've been pretty open about my eyebrow concerns.  I know I've discussed it here.  In fact, my friend Connie sent me the best eyebrow kit from Sephora.  I was so surprised and excited!  And so grateful for the very thoughtful gift.  Such fun to check out!

Well I finally got the nerve to wax my eyebrows last week.  It has been since the end of March.  I can't tell you how furry the other parts of my eyebrows were.  I swear it was like waxing my cat!!  But as I looked in my close up mirror, I saw some faint white hairs on the right outside of my eyebrow!  What?  Hair?  So I carefully waxed around it.

It just so happened I was getting my hair done in a few days.  I had scheduled extra time for an official eyebrow lesson.  But when I went in, Logan agreed there was enough hair that he could probably color them like usual and I could pencil it in as I wanted or felt necessary.  I was thrilled. 

 
It looks pretty full in the photo but there is a red circle where the cancer lump is so it is deceiving in photos.  I think it looks passable for a normal eyebrow!  I hope it continues to grow hair...but not in a Prednisone hair growth kind of way!  I'm still working with my rampant Prednisone hair growth on my temples.  So not funny.
 
Eyebrows don't seem like a big deal until you have a funny looking one.  Take some time to notice eyebrows.  I think lots of women have eyebrow issues.  I have been totally enlightened.  And if you have eyebrow issues, check out Sephora!
