Which surely means there must be more coming!

(Must be all the heavy questions lately on Mamapedia!)

Anyone else have this issue?

Do you just pluck 'em one by one, dye them, or leave 'em?

Thanks!

:)

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Tehehe, thanks Ladies, it's good to be in such quality company!
I texted one of my sisters this morning to whine about my one gray eyebrow, and she texted me back 'aaawww, my baby sister is growing up! It's almost time for us to have that talk about your monthly visitor!! (she's 54, I'm 44)'

My brows are dishwater anyway, so it's not very noticeable, i DID pluck it, nasty little thing!

Don't pluck or you could end up with no eyebrows in a few years.

Leave it alone for now. You may not get another too quickly.

My eyebrows have stayed dark, but my hair has gone about 80% white. You actually get used to it.

I yank them out - but I also get mine waxed so I could use a few less!

I"ve been dying my hair for about 10 years. It used to be only a couple of times a year - now it's every 7 weeks!! To think it will be once a month in a few years SUCKS!!

It never fails-you think you've won the battle by dyeing your head-then they start showing up in your brows and pubes!

One I would pluck. More, I would think you could "color" with mascara.
Aging is a dumb system...

You're so funny! I found one three days ago and can barely think about it. It's freaking me out. I haven't plucked it yet. I'm trying to ignore that it's there. lol.

Hi theresa-

I leave them...and actually am eagerly awaiting more! I have 'mousy' brown hair...and have it in my mind that if I go evenly and lightly grey, it will look stunning!

I also feel I have earned each and every one...

Best luck!

Yikes! I don't have that problem yet but I think I would pluck one by one until it got bad enough to require some "professional" attention.

I pluck eyebrows, and dye the hair on my head. I'm 27 and have a ridiculous amount of grays (thank you children)... plus I'm a redhead and more genetically prone to grays. Pluck those eyebrows! When it gets to the point your entire brow is gray... then dye them, or use a brow pencil to kind of cover them up ;)

Well, yes, there may be more on the way, but I think it takes awhile...I've had 2 on one brow for the longest time, and just pluck them whenever I feel ambitious. In general, I don't mind the grey hairs - although the last time I got my hair cut, my hairdresser told me that the grey around my temples looked like highlights...big sigh.

LMAO...sorry this made me laugh when I read this. I have been getting a few here and there too. My husband is so oblivious though to the fact, he keeps telling me they're not gray hairs but those particular ones are just dead.
Just had to share :)

That's where I first noticed gray hairs too! Easy to tweeze, so that's what I did. It was years before I found any in my hair. But then they showed up there too. Boo.

I've found a few... over the years (Im Only 33 1/2) LOL
I have either just trimmed it down with a pair of cosmetic scissors OR plucked them out. Good Luck :-)

Every time I get my hair colored, I have my stylist color my eyebrows, too. I've only seen one gray eyebrow, but I may have more. I have tons of gray hair, but no one will ever see it. :) My eyebrows look so much better when they are dyed, even without the gray issue. Good luck!
