My Moustache is currently celebrating his first birthday, and so it seems like an apt occasion to look back over our first year together.  hopefully, my experiences may be of help to those caring for new-borns in this, the moustache season of Movember.

As a new parent with relatively little experience in these things, it has been a hectic year.  Certainly it has been a wonderful experience, full of joyous moments as I noticed slight developments and maturations in my moustache, as he grew and his character developed.  As with any parent, I glow with pride as I reminisce about this year’s highlights; the first compliments he received, his first haircut, and his first kiss.

However, it has also been a steep learning curve.  there have been, quite literally, close shaves; and his confidence has been knocked at times when somebody has laughed in his face, screaming ‘Call that a moustache?!?’  The adolescent period was certainly a struggle, full of angst, arguments and solvent abuse – a bottle of hair dye which led to horrific clashes with his siblings, the eyebrows.  The embarrassment only faded with time (and repeated washing).

It seems like only yesterday when, at the age of 23, I took my first timid steps into the world of facial hair.  ‘You’re playing a man’s game now son, there’s no room for error.’ my father’s advice stayed with me, resurfacing every time my top lip didn’t look tip top.  Whenever I gave my moustache a stroke and felt how young and slight he was, I remembered with shame the hairy slug my own father has had ever since before I was born.

But a year it has been, and Movember is on us again.  All around me I see new parents with new baby moustaches.  Are they receiving the support and encouragement that they need in these testing few weeks?  Whilst some are bold, hirsute handlebars from the word go; other moustaches are stubborn stubble that require coaxing and encouragement.

My concern is for these Movember participants that become highly embarrassed by their slow-sprouting moustaches, those that anxiously glance in shop windows to try in vain to discern definition and hair density.  They fuss and they worry: is he getting along with the other moustaches? is he the right size for his age?  Are the bigger moustaches going to bully him?  Are the ladies going to take to him, or are they going to be prickled by his prickliness?

I know these worries because I have been through them.  Even though my ‘tash is now one of seniority and sagacity (ahem!), I have played host to the pangs of despair, and have spent hours staring into the bathroom mirror straining my top lip in an effort to increase the rate of growth.  I too have been there, shrinking back into the corner of the pub after a big brute, overflowing with testosterone, compared his philtrum forest to my feeble fuzz.

My advice to those who, like I did, find themselves in this emasculating position is ‘stay in there, buddy, your time will come!’  you and your timid ‘tash are not alone, there are others out there who are suffering too.  Don’t be overwhelmed by those parents who regularly post ‘Hey, check out my awesome tash’ updates, that bray with jocular ebullience, that go on and on about how ‘Hemingway’ their moustache is.   Understand that the world today is a difficult place for moustaches to be born into.  Young moustaches everywhere are subjected to pressures to be manly and to grow up before their time.  These pressures, if not handled correctly, can wreak havoc with one’s confidence.  it is up to us parents to take time to nurture our moustaches, and to develop a bond of understanding between parent and child.

Ultimately, a moustache is a thing of sophistication, and maturity; of subtlety and patience.  Remember, a moustache is for life, not just for Movember.

So I've been plucking for a couple years and my eyebrows are kinda thin now. I want them to grow all the way back to the way they were naturally (very thick) and just pluck the strays so I have nice thick, shaped eyebrows.
How long should I take? my eyebrows grow pretty fast.

Same here.
Um I'd say at least 6 weeks..not more than 3 months. Depends how bad they are at the moment and if you plucked so much that the hair growth has slowed.

There are a few things that you can do to help your eyebrows grow thicker and fuller. we tend to forget that eyebrows are hair and like the hair on your head you need to take care of them.

Some things to consider are changing your diet, reducing stress and using an eyebrow enhancer.

I added a link in the source box to an article with some useful tips on growing your eyebrows naturally:

2 weeks i guess, or 3 to grow fully!~

Give it about a week and see the difference. I once shaved the whole of my eyebrow off and it started growing back within a week.
Good luck

How long does it usually take for eyebrow hair to grow back?

Theres a girl on my softball team and she doesnt have hair, eyebrows, or eyelashes and I was just wondering what condition she might have. Im scared if i ask her she might be offended.

She might have alopecia

Cancer. um…I've heard of diabetes doing that, but I've never heard to that extreme.

What are some conditions that cause you to not have hair?

my skintone is kinda like cristina Milian's or beyonce's…..i wanna dye my hair brown like cristina milian…but my eyebrows are black…what do I buy and how do i dye my brows?

do it at the beauticians dont do it at home if you havnt done it b4…….. it can be dangerous.

clorox works great, but careful not to get it in your eyes.

NEVER dye your eyebrows at home. if you read the hair dye box it will tell you not to. if you somehow got it close to your eye it could blind you. if you absolutely must have them dyed then have it professionally done-or youll regret it.

well some girl at my school dyed her hair and used the same stuff to dye her eyebrows you should give it a try

Use the same stuff that is meant to bleach a dark mustache. just follow the instructions on the box and it should turn out just like you want it!

How do i dye my eyebrows to match my hair?

I've been taking 5000 mcg of biotin, but that hasn't seemed to help at all. also, I never use eyebrow gels/tints or do anything to them (except tweeze and trim them). They just keep randomly falling out. Please help!

why does any hair fall out? it's because if it didn't then your hair would grow forever and they would get really long, trust me they grow back

Does it fall out in masses? Or does it every once in a while? You may be getting improper nutrition or using a bad shampoo (I know that Suave and Herbal Esscences makes my hair fall out; I use Garnier Fructise now) that is effecting your eyebrows. if it's only a little bit, then you're just 'shedding'.

See your doctor. Losing eyebrows is not normal. You could have hypothyroidism. Good luck!
