Hi @CJDaisy I wish I could say I kept them but I am just like the other girls here. However I definitely can confirm my brows were back at about 6 weeks after I finished chemo and lashes started at about the same time. I am pretty shocking at putting on false lashes and I did buy the magnetic type to try but couldn’t master them - that’s just me though. I used black eyeliner on the top lid and I used a light brown on the outside of my bottom lid - a trick I learned off YouTube - and it really does give the illusion of lashes and defines your eyes. I recommend YouTube for some great tips and tricks - I used to watch it late at night when I couldn’t sleep. The other thing I have seen since and I wished I knew about them were the temporary tattoo brows - they look great and I know you can order them online. My brows fell out completely at about the 4th taxol and a few lashes held strong for quite a while. I bought an eyebrow stencil in a little kit from chemist warehouse and it saved the day. It included all sorts of shapes and worked well.
I also went out and bought quite a few pairs of big earrings which I wore often - especially if I was wearing one of my caps.
One thing I can reassure you of, you will get your brows and lashes back and this is temporary. Take care 🌼
