We all know that over plucking can lead to bald spots within the brows, but apparently if you apply a little Rogaine, you can give them a jump start. Be sure to do a patch test first to determine whether or not you are allergic to the product.
For more details about rogaine, try their website

Yes, there is something you can do until they grow out. Look for a brow kit that offers color and a product to hold them in place. There are lots on the market and in every price range. They will help you recreate your brow or you could go out and get yourself a tub of eyeshadow as close as possible to your eyebrow shade and fill them in as best you can with a cotton bud. The trick is to blend, blend, blend until they look natural.

As for plucking... make this a weekly occurance instead of a major "do it all at once" kind of thing. That's usually when you take too much.

Do let me know if you need any more information,

yes, I am still looking for more advice. I am not sure how to approach solving this problem. Besides Roraine, is there any other hair growth treatment available? Thanks

To my knowledge, Rogaine is an effective option for hair re-growth.

There are over-the-counter products like this one
but, I can't speak to their effectiveness.

Let me know if you need more input. If not, thanks for the opportunity to assist you... I would really appreciate your honoring my efforts by 'pushing the button' and Accepting this answer. Adding a bonus -- should you wish to do so -- is always warmly welcomed.

Good Luck!

Steve
