Good evening all…after losing your eyebrows did you use anything like drawing them in or those eyebrow stamps…can anyone recommend anything? And also did anyone have a dry scalp and what helped…thank you x

Hi all, after 9 years of chemo and am currently on IV chemo now, I have no eyebrows,I tried having them hennaed, which is fine but only lasts a few weeks and is not really a cheap option,the therapist who did this said my skin was too fragile for microblading or tattooing,so its back to the good old fashioned eyebrow pencil/brush, which I find is just as good and if I dont feel like"putting on my eyebrows" I dont, I have got used to me as is and my partner loves me just the way I am,but I must admit that having eyebrows does help define my face, especially when you dont have much hair,just a matter of trying all the options.wendy55

I had thin eyebrows before Chemo. But I had already had them tattooed.I had them redone just before Chemo, after the Mastectomy.I have no eyebrows now 2 years after finishing Chemo.I have very little body hair now also.In the past I have tried an eyebrow stencil, with reasonable results.I'm glad that I have tattoos now, as I need something to follow if I am to recommence with stencils.Unfortunately the eyebrow tattoos fade, and need redoing. I don't seem to have a lot of choice.Sorry I haven't had a dry scalp.

Before chemo my eyebrows were like hairy caterpillars, when fashionable eyebrows were delicate plucked arches. The tide turned, and now that my eyebrows are practically non-existent, fashionable eyebrows are strong defined lines. LOL!

I use to have really thick eyebrows and now they are thin but I have enough eyebrow hair to tint them when I get my hair cut. I am not a fan of the current tattooed eyebrows phase but with tinting I can keep my options open for awhile.

My scalp drove me crazy. I use apricot kernal oil and massage it in, wash it off with next shower. I need to do this once a fortnight.
