Whether you were born with naturally thin eyebrows and/or eyelashes or you’ve noticed them start to become less pronounced over time, HVME is here to help.
What Causes Thinning Brows and Lashes?
Several factors can contribute to thinning eyebrows and eyelashes, and many of them are age-related changes that work to slow down the natural growth cycles of the hair in your eyelashes and/or eyebrows. Changes in your hormonal makeup—which can happen during pregnancy or menopause—can also impact the density and health of your eyebrows or eyelashes.
In some cases, genetics or certain medical conditions predispose individuals to scant hair growth in these delicate areas, while additional lifestyle factors, like overplucking, harsh cosmetic products, or stress, can worsen this thinning effect by weakening your hair follicles. Nutritional deficiencies—especially in vitamins, minerals, and proteins that are essential for healthy hair growth—can further reduce your hair’s resilience, leading to increased breakage or outright hair loss.
