How Hormones Affect Your Brows and Lashes
Ever notice your brows or lashes acting a little… different? Maybe they’re thinning, growing slower, or suddenly more stubborn. Yep, hormones might be the culprit.
At Ritual Beauty Room in Thousand Oaks, CA, we see it all the time. Hormones have a big say in hair growth cycles, density, and even texture.
Why Hormones Matter
Brows and lashes are hair too, just smaller and more delicate. Hair growth is tied to your body’s hormone levels. Changes in hormones can affect:
- Growth speed
- Thickness
- Curl and texture
- Shedding patterns
Pregnancy, menopause, thyroid issues, or even birth control changes can shift your brow and lash game.
Common Patterns We See
- Thinning Brows or Lashes – Often linked to low estrogen or thyroid changes
- Extra Hair in Odd Places – Sometimes caused by higher androgens
- Slower Growth – Stress hormones like cortisol can slow hair cycles
- Changes in Texture – Hair can become curlier, straighter, or more brittle
Not all changes mean something serious, but knowing the patterns helps you adjust your beauty routine.
Tips to Keep Brows and Lashes Healthy
Even if your hormones are shifting, there are things you can do:
- Regular Maintenance – Keep up with waxing, tinting, or laminations to shape brows
- Lash Lifts and Tints – Enhance what’s there without relying solely on natural growth
- Gentle Care – Avoid harsh rubbing or excessive products on delicate hairs
- Nutrition and Hydration – Hair loves protein, vitamins, and water
- Professional Guidance – If sudden changes happen, check in with a healthcare provider
Adjust Your Expectations
Hormonal changes are normal and natural. Brows and lashes might need a little extra TLC during life changes, and that’s ok.
The good news? Semi-permanent options, lash lifts, and brow lamination can help maintain your look while your body does its thing.
Bottom Line
Hormones can quietly influence your brows and lashes in surprising ways. Awareness + proper care = brows and lashes that stay healthy, full, and flattering no matter what your body is up to.
Your brows and lashes are living hair. Treat them with patience, care, and a little expertise, and they’ll reward you.
