Thinning Eyebrows - what we can do!

If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and noticed your once-full brows looking a little sparse, you’re not alone. Thinning eyebrows are incredibly common and can be caused by a wide variety of factors—many of which are completely natural. But that doesn’t mean you have to live with them if you don’t want to.

Why Are My Eyebrows Thinning?

Eyebrows, like the hair on our head, go through growth cycles. But they can be sensitive to changes in our bodies and environment. Here are some common reasons brows begin to thin:

Ageing: As we age, hair growth slows down. The same goes for eyebrows. It's completely natural.

Over-plucking or waxing: Years of aggressive shaping can lead to permanent thinning.

Hormonal changes: Pregnancy, menopause, thyroid issues, and even stress can cause hair loss.

Nutrient deficiencies: Low levels of iron, zinc, biotin, or protein can impact hair growth.

Skin conditions: Eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis can affect the follicles around the brows.

What Not To Do

Don’t over-pluck in the hopes of reshaping. Less is more—especially if you’re trying to encourage regrowth.

Avoid harsh chemicals or irritants that can inflame or damage the sensitive skin around your brows.

Skip brow tattooing or microblading too early—while these can be great cosmetic fixes, you may want to try stimulating natural regrowth first.

How to Encourage Healthy Eyebrow Growth

1. Be gentle. Use a soft spoolie brush to groom and stimulate the area each morning and night. This encourages blood flow and can help wake up sleepy follicles.

2. Nourish from within. A balanced diet rich in omega-3s, vitamins A, C, E, and biotin supports healthy hair growth across the board.

3. Topical oils can help. Our The newVital Hair Growth Oil isn't just for your scalp—it's worked wonders on brows too. Packed with rosemary, jojoba, harakeke oil, and vitamin E, it delivers nutrients directly to the follicle to promote stronger, fuller regrowth. Just a drop applied with a clean finger or brush once a day is all you need.

4. Be consistent. Regrowth takes time—usually 6 to 12 weeks to see noticeable changes. It’s a slow process, but a rewarding one.

A Personal Note

I started using The newVital on my eyebrows purely out of curiosity—and now my beautician has to trim them before shaping! It was one of those accidental discoveries that turned out to be a bit of a game-changer.

Final Thoughts

Thinning eyebrows are normal, but if it’s bothering you, there are gentle and natural steps you can take to bring them back to life. With patience, nourishment, and the right care, you might just find your best brows are still ahead of you.
