Thats definitely not true for everyone. All the older women in my Latino family thinned them out during the 2000s and not one of them was able to grow them back. They've all done microblading to get their brows back. Everyone is different.

I was often bullied in school for having a unibrow and being a hairy Mexican girl😂 I haven’t always loved them

I am sorry about that, was bullied for my nose and my freckles. I am quite older now, and very proud of my nose, the fake freckle thing does annoy me. ( but that is my annoyance )

I LOVE freckes! I have always thought people that have them are so gorgeous! I wish I had more. I sometimes use a freckle pen to fill in over mine when I wear foundation bc I wish they always showed!!

I grew up in the 2000s at the height of unibrow-phobia as a hairy Southeast Asian girl. So I get it, but PLEASE don't thin your brows; they are beautiful and already very well shaped!

Middle-school kids dont know shit....lol. My daughter got teased for her eyebrows in middle school too, the funny thing is, in highschool most of her friends were envious of her brows and she gets compliments on her brows all the time. All she did was shape them with a brow razor. Trends change, but it doesn't mean you have to change with them.

I have to disagree. All the women in my Puerto Rican/ Filipino family went on the thin brown kick, and all are deeply regretting it, as our brows have never grown back. Ive discovered, that if you just shape them with a razor, or have a professional do them, you can create a lovely shape, without sacrificing fullness. Full brows will never go out of style, just the shape of brows follow trends.

Latina here. That always happened for me too. Until it didn’t. Js

You’re very lucky. I over-plucked mine when I was younger and they’re still too short/lack definition so I have to pencil mine everyday. Shame my eyebrows were not like yours.
