But very soon after, the procedure changed, because 1. the rate of infection was no different between shaved and unshaved repairs, and 2. in some people, the shaved eyebrows never grew back. Can't tell you why, though. | |

But your answer suggests that after an eyebrow hair begins its life, it grows for a few months, and then never ever grows again. Or the eyebrow hair will once again re-start growth once it has been shaved? How would the hair root know if the hair was cut? | |
