Last Year on the 17th of February 2019 I had an eyebrow hair transplant. Its been exactly one year later and what a journey it has been. I suffered from eyebrow hair loss due to over-plucking, I began plucking my eyebrows as a young teenager and had 90's eyebrows just like Gwen Steffani, Pamela Anderson, and Christina Aguilera. But as the eyebrow fashion trends changed into fuller thicker eyebrows, mine did not. Unfortunately, my eyebrows never grew back, and I just drew them on with all different types of make-up such as eyebrow pencils, eyeshadows, and pomades. Eventually, I began to have eyebrow tattoos and then microblading which required yearly top-ups as the ink eventually fades and discolours on the skin. I wanted real hair, with dimension and texture and realised that having my eyebrows implanted would be the only permanent solution.

Microblading Results Before & After
I loved my immediate microblading results, however, I could never achieve the thickness that I have now with my eyebrow hair transplant results. With my eyebrow implants, I could achieve a much thicker eyebrow with real hair and a permanent solution that does not require top-ups. Although the stroke technique that microblading mimics the results are still flat and one dimensional. I used to describe and compare my eyebrows to shop mannequins, without hair there is no texture or softness.
I still found I had to fill in my eyebrows with makeup even with microblading as the colour changed to a pinkish tone and I liked a dark eyebrow. I sometimes fill in my new implanted eyebrows with makeup but no way as harsh and heavy as before, because now I have so much hair I do not need to. But even if I do, it still appears much softer as the hairs really make a difference to my face. Everyone says that since having my eyebrow hair transplant, the procedure has taken years off me. I look back at my old pictures and can definitely see how my old flat drawn on brows gave my face an older and harsher appearance.
There are so many amazing artists out there that can really create real-life hair strokes and the work is beautiful. I always say that for me microblading is an amazing solution for people who have eyebrows and only need it as a semi-permanent solution to make-up. As I fully believe in time-saving solutions, and eyebrow makeup can really be a hassle. Which is precisely why I used to have the tattoos and microblading treatment done in the first place. Who doesn't want to wake up with eyebrows, or take a shower or go for a swim and come out with eyebrows? Summertime was the worst for me because no matter what my eyebrows would eventually smudge away.
You can see from this picture, my brows were all smudged away and the slight pinkish tone around the eyebrows was from old permanent make-up. below is the same picture and a picture of my implanted eyebrows now, 12 months later. My new eyebrows from my hair transplant are much thicker and they do not smudge away or rub off or require any top-ups. Safe to say I love my new eyebrows and wish I had the procedure done sooner.
