Hi, I finished Chemo on 28 Feb this year (2 months) and I just noticed that Imlosing my eyebrows !! I thought I would have lost them by now, so it's a bit of a surprise. Funnily enough it's bothering me more than losing my hair.....Has anyone else lost their eyebrows at around the 2 month post Chemo mark?

Hi @JasiB1 and @kmakm. I too was bothered by thinning brows though not from chemo. Luckily Brows are big news in the makeup world and are great products out there to provide a temporary fix and major morale booster.I use Modelco More Brows a product I found in Woolies around $14.Is a gel and works a treat giving a natural look unlike eyebrow pencils of yore.

Dear @JasiB1, I noticed about one month after chemo that my eyebrows were thinning; but I was quite happy about it as my eyebrows were like hairy mad caterpillars! Yes I could have had them shaped , but never did. Back in the 60's kind people said I looked like Ali McGraw - wish!

Strewth @RachelG, I hadn’t thought about my eyelashes -oh yay, Something else to look forward to.... Ali McGraw @jennyss she was rather gorgeous (as we all were in the 60’s)

The eyebrows are the worst, aren't they.

When I was loosing my eyebrows and eyelashes I read on a post on here I can't remember who posted it about using eyeliner to make it look like you have eyelashes. So I got one and it worked. My eyebrows have always been light so that didn't bother me as much.Xxxx

Hi @JasiB1, I finished chemo end of March this year and in the last week I have noticed my eyelashes and eyebrows falling out for the second time again. I expected it at the beginning of chemo with my hair but was surprised with the recent loss of hair. Thank god, I have a brilliant eyebrow pencil and had them tattooed before I started chemo x

I am coming up to seven weeks since my last dose of chemo (TC) and they're still thinning. I was having a mani pedi before the op and my beautician noticed and suggested I come in for some sort of solution. I'm like you, it's bothering more than my hair loss did. I am not happy at all about the state of them so I might take her up on the offer. I still have one gift voucher left :/
