Is there a single person out there whoisn’ttrying togrow their eyebrows outright now?

If there is, I’ve never met em.
But according to one brow artist, there might be a hidden factor contributing to everyone’s perpetual sparseness.
As it turns out, everything.
“When brow hair is overly dried out, it shatters,” Sacks explains.
Cosmetic chemist and BeautyStat founderRon Robinsonsays that’s likely because many brow gels contain alcohol.
“That in itself may cause drying,” he explains.
Eyebrow pencils are another thing Sacks urges clients to reconsider when growth is the goal.
As she claims, they can pull out brow hairs due to their waxy texture and Robinson concurs.
Instead of those, Sacks recommends using powder to fill in sparse areas of the eyebrows.
“[And] it maintains a healthy environment for your brow on a daily basis.”
It’s kind of her Swiss Army Knife of brow styling.
On top of that, it just looks nice.
“It adds a beautiful shine to the brow; it also doesn’t flake,” she says.
There is one caveat to this hack, though.
“Roses are red, but they can make your eyebrows red, too,” she jokes.
“Kind of like when we wear flats or sneakers daily and high heels occasionally.”
