Why are my eyebrow hairs so thick?
Some people have bushier, wirier eyebrows than others. This can be due to an excess of hormones called androgens, which make your hair production more masculine. Wiry eyebrows can also be a result of genetics, passed down by your parents. Either way, wiry hairs can be a bugbear when trying to tidy up your eyebrows.
How do you get rid of thick eyebrows naturally?
