I Lost My Hairline to a Mascara Brush

i’m a 26 yr. veteran cosmetologist and surprisingly i lost my hairline to a mascara brush trying to cover the gray hairs! i thought i was being gentle by using no hairdyes and no relaxers,but with my luck i guess the curly hairs caught onto the brush wand.i don’t wear weaves,braids or ponytails.never in 43 yrs. have i had a problem with my hair falling out.i’ve been massaging these areas and using nioxin ,i’ts been almost 7 months and no hair in sight.also why is it that i can pluck my chin hairs several times a week and they grow back overnight?what’s the difference in these hair follicles vs.the scalp hairs?i did see a few white bulbs at the end of some of the hairs but didn’t pay it any mind cause the gray was covered! my girlfriend told me that a doc. gave her clobetasol cream to rub on her scalp when her hairline fell out from ponytails and she said it took her months to get to a doc. after the baldness and it grew back.last guestion if you still see a hole where the hair came from and the skin is not fused or scarred shut does that mean it is a possibility that the hair can grow back because it is not nickle smooth?

In answering this, I will first assume that this writer is a man — I apologize in advance if I’m mistaken. It is unusual that one plucking of a hair will result in permanent hair loss. I would certainly wait a year before assuming that the hair loss is permanent and with a pore present, that might suggest that the follicle may yet return. If it does not come back, you might have plucked out part of your juvenile hairline, which in many men is not permanent. Plucking out non-permanent hair like this or hair that is impacted by male genetic hair loss, may not return. For a woman, the juvenile hairline is called a female hairline and is stable for most of a woman’s life, so although I would still wait a year or so, the causes for failure of hair to return are not as well defined here.

With regard to clobetasol, it seems that this is part of the homeopathic drugs that are not well documented in their benefits. Lots of chatter about it on the internet, nothing firm from any credible source.

I have many questions for you: Are you male or female? Are you balding? Is the entire frontal hairline plucked out, if so how far back? I would expect that some of the frontal hairline must still be present. Did you use some harsh dye that could have damaged the hair follicles? The benefit of the FOX/FUE technique is that it cause no noticeable linear scar in the donor area. In term of shock loss, I believe that it is due more to making site at the recipient area than the harvesting area in the back of the head. I have seen diffuse hair loss due to the stress of the surgery. It is hard to predict shock loss, though the pattern has been more common in patients who have an active process of hair loss going on.
