Is it natural for older women to lose their eyebrows?

It seems natural for older people to lose hair from all over. Worse, the remaining hair goes crazy with age. Those grey eyebrows grow and wander like weeds in an apparent race with eruptions of fur from the nose and ears in spurts uncommon in younger people. Ain’t old age grand?

Yes it’s very common. It could also be a sign of thyroid issues as you mentioned.

It’s natural. Happening to me too.

It is a symptom of thyroid problems, but also can just happen as a natural part of aging.

Check your thyroid obviously if suddenly you are losing a lot of eyebrow or hair on your head. If it is your thyroid, some or all will likely grow back if you get your thyroid hormones back in range with medication.

Supposedly, low iron can affect hair growth as well. You can check iron on a blood test just like the thyroid. The low iron hair connection isn’t really proven like the thyroid connection.

Some people swear by biotin supplements for better hair growth.

People fill with pencil or get permanent tattoo eyebrows.

My mother always said she was a victim of gravity. Her eyebrows fell out and started growing on her chin.

The eyebrow thing is ridiculous. On men it makes them look “distinguished.“Try trimming eyebrows that are half brown, the other half white, with scissors. Very sexy feeling. Then what’s left doesn’t really look like eyebrows. Cover the quagmire with bangs.
But women don’t have nose hairs thank God. At least I don’t !

Just you wait.

“Just you wait ?? ” You mean women have nose hairs? Surely , you jest. Kill me now.
