Why are bushy eyebrows in fashion?
Eyebrows are one of the most important features when assessing facial aesthetics. The thickness, shape, length, separation between them and the relationship between the eyebrows and the size of the eyes is key in the proportions of the face.
Well-defined eyebrows frame the eyes, help to better express emotions and highlight the features. In addition, thick eyebrows are associated with a more youthful and healthy appearance.
Eyebrows also fall out
Just as we lose the hair on our head, the hair on our eyebrows also falls out and grows back as part of the hair growth cycle. The hair follicles in the eyebrows are living structures that go through the phases of growth, maturation and fall (anagen, catagen and telogen respectively).
In hair, these phases last several months and usually occur at different times and in different parts of the head; therefore, the mane can grow several dozen centimeters over the years. In eyebrows, on the other hand, these stages last approximately one month, so their length does not usually exceed two centimeters.
However, the percentage of follicles in the growth phase differs in both areas: on the scalp it is 85% while in the eyebrows it is only 15%. However, these cells are the most susceptible to disease: stress, anemia, arthritis, as well as the consumption of drugs can affect hair cells and cause hair loss, including that of the eyebrows.
Diseases such as hypothyroidism, dermatitis, lupus and psoriasis are the most associated with loss of density in the eyebrows. In addition to this, stress, environmental factors, age and beauty habits such as laser hair removal or tweezing can accelerate damage to the follicles and leave eyebrows thin, which can even become almost invisible.
Eyebrow graft vs. microblading
Microblading or micropigmentation is a semi-permanent technique in which pigments are used to cover sparsely populated, irregular or faint areas. It is a solution for cases of mild density loss and is performed in beauty salons or beauty centers.
On the other hand, eyebrow grafting is a permanent solution, performed by hair restoration specialists and with natural results because it is real hair.
Eyebrow graft: the solution that celebrities turn to
Eyebrow grafting is becoming increasingly popular among celebrities because it is an alternative that offers natural, permanent results and a personalized design to balance the proportions of the face and highlight the features.
If you don’t believe us, let’s look at some cases of celebrities with eyebrow grafts before and after:

Angelina is one of the great beauties of Hollywood. Her ultra-thin eyebrows made her perfectly embody Lara Croft in the 2000s because they hardened her features. Today, her thick eyebrows give her a softer and more elegant appearance.
