I'm incredibly honored at @nicknorwitz's offer for a transplant -- so blessed to have such a good friend they'd donate their own...

- eyebrows! 😂

Okay, but seriously, let's talk about disappearing eyebrows and how it can potentially signal reasons of concern...

2/ Occasionally I get a doctor (often a Dermatologist) ask if I've checked for hypothyroidism given it can be associated with loss of the outer eyebrow.

However, this is usually resolved when they see my eyebrows up close given it doesn't follow the same pattern...

3/ Often there is a pronounced pinching or abrupt halt in the pattern of spread. But to be sure, this is more of what I hear from them. I haven't researched much on it given I already knew this pattern was common in my family-- but this study was helpful👇 ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

4/ There are also other possible diseases eyebrow hair loss can be associated with "...primary dermatoses, endocrinopathies, autoimmune conditions, infections, neoplasms, trauma, exogenous agents, and genetic diseases." -- Again, see your Dermatologist.

5/ Back to my situation -- I'm pretty confident my eyebrows mainly originate from my father's side of the family and is likewise seen with my one sibling in the same way.

Moreover, here's my engagement photo from 14 years ago. I was heavier then with roughly the same eyebrows 👇

6/ ... Which also gives me compelling reason to think it's unlikely this was dietarily related either.

Regardless, I'm blessed to have good friends like @nicknorwitz on hand to be a donor should my eyebrow loss become chronic and debilitating. 🤣🤣🤣
