Hi I was just wondering if it was posible for the hairs in your eyebrows to fall out if you comb or touch them. thanks.
You have to be doing something to the eyebrows, because they should not fall out just to a touch. With that said, you could have some disease if you have not applied anything to them. See a good doctor. There isn’t anything else I could offer via the internet — you need an in-person exam by a dermatologist.
if you haven’t eaten weird medication and are relatively healthy, it could be due to the heat from your hair blow dryer. heat makes hair fall out. so if you blow dry your hair regularly, the heat could be hitting your eyebrows on a regular basis leading to eyebrow hair loss, little by little. my friend enlightened me about the situation by explaining that her dad’s hair (on his head and eyebrows) fall out because he’s near heat a lot at his work. my eyebrow hair loss is very low. I’m the only one who notices without it being pointed out and studied first, but there’s definite fuzz where there used to be strong, thick hairs. if you’ve only lost a little bit at a rate where it was hard to notice, this is highly plausible.
