My brows were never Lily Collins thick, but after years of plucking them into Y2K submission, they were practically invisible. Tired of filling them with a brow pencil, I discovered several solutions: eyebrow transplants (as seen on Chrissy Teigen and Jen Atkin), topical growth serums (like prescription Latisse), and microblading.

For eyebrow transplants, surgeons remove hair from the back of the scalp and implant it on the brows. While effective, it’s expensive (the average cost is $7,000) and has a bizarre side effect: the transplanted hairs keep growing as if they were still on your head and have to be frequently trimmed…forever.
