Thinking about solutions for good eye brows.
Searched a bit to find out what's out there.
Makeup:
Eyebrow pencil on the underneath edge of the eye brows and make them a bit longer
Brow Powder on the whole eye brows to make it more dense.
Put concealer (lighter) / eyebrow highlighter around eye brows to make more contrast.

Eye Brow Extensions:
You pick little artificial hairs and put them one after the other on eyebrow.
Normally i guess a professional does it.
It looks completely natural, like real hairs.
Probably very expensive. 100 dollars? And lasts only 2 weeks.
Permanent makeup (semi-tatooing):
Very strong, very dark.
Done with a machine.
Lasts for a few years, then gets slowly lighter.
Micro Blading (semi-tatooing):
Like permanent makeup, but made by hand, not by machine.
She basically paints/tattoos hairs on the eye brows by hand.
Lasts for 1-2 years.
Costs about 500-1500 dollars.

Colouring:
Lasts a month.
Perhaps let it be done by specialist.
Castor Oil / Vaseline:
Somehow this is good, probably do it overnight
Rapidbrow serum:
It's on amazon. Just some minerals and stuff, surprisingly the reviews are good.
Minoxidil for more hair:
For hair growth.
A few people say it has bad skin aging side effects.
Latisse: (Careprost is the generic)
The more specialiced / pricier thing for eyebrow-hair growing
Dermmatch / Toppik:
Originally for covering up thinning hair
Good thing about dermmatch is, it’s so cheap, it’s basically free (I still have the one unit I bought from like 5 years ago for hair)
Transplanting Hair:
From where? I heard they need surprisingly many hairgrafts for the brows (on the other hand i heard they take hairs from your Neck, i guess i don't need them anyway)
Dermarolling/Dermastamping them?
Supplements: Biotin, well (doesn't do anything noticeable)
----
I am on 2 months minoxidil + castor oil + oral minoxidil + tretinoin -> i don't see any difference
Best options i think are:
- Microblading
(There is also microshading that you can combine, i think it just paints the skin under the hairs darker - so i think this looks more like makeup and i wouldn't add it)
- Hair transplant to Brows
-> i want to try Microblading first, it is relatively cheap, stays for a year and does not take precious hair grafts
