Eyebrow Wigs? Yes, It’s a thing!
I have an obsession with eyebrows. I think they are one of the most expressive features on the human face. Back in the 90s when thin eyebrows were all the rage, I actually used to shave them off and got them tatooed instead. But now I have no eyebrows, so I am constantly looking for the latest and greatest eyebrow products out there to help me achieve a more natural looking brow. I have tried pencils, shadows and gels. But I’ve recently discovered eyebrow wigs and I am seriously blown away.
Do you have no eyebrows but love the thick, full brows this season? Try out Eyebrow Wigs! Yes. They are a thing. #VideoDemo Click To Tweet
What are Eyebrow Wigs?
They are just like the name implies – wigs for your eyebrows. They have been using them on television and in movies forever but did you know they are also available to the general public?
Everyone is lusting after these thick, full eyebrows right now.
I’ve watched a ton of YouTube videos about how to achieve natural “fake” eyebrows with the power of makeup. And these guys do a fantastic job of making drawn-on eyebrows look real, but I don’t want to spend an hour to do my makeup just to look like I have real eyebrows. Who has time for that?
But then I came across a video of this product called LashyBrows by Instabrow and I thought this might just be what I was looking for. So I contacted them via email and asked them if they would let me try out a sample in exchange for a video review and they kindly obliged.

How do you Apply LashyBrow Eyebrow Wigs?
LashyBrows made with a long front so that you can trim them to fit your desired eyebrow length. But first, you must determine how much you need to trim.
I explain the proper way to measure your brows in my first video tutorial of how to apply the Instabrow Eyebrow Wigs in the Angelina shape below:
- After you cut your brows to the desired length and shape you like, you will want to wipe the area clean with alcohol, witch hazel, or Micellar water if you wish. The area you will be applying the brow must be clean and free from oil.
- Instabrow sells their own adhesive, but you can just use eyelash glue if you wish.
- You will need to completely cover the silicone back with the adhesive to ensure proper adhesion. I find that a small brush to apply the glue works best.
- I like to start by placing the brow on my face at the arch, then simply move the brow to the desired position on your face.
- Make sure to pat down all edges of the brows so that there are no gaps between your skin and the eyebrow wigs.
- Follow up with a light dusting of eyeshadow or pencil to fill in any gaps
- Enjoy your beautiful natural looking fake eyebrows!
What makes Instabrow LashyBrows Eyebrow Wigs different?
Because the brows have a silicone backing, they move with your face and all of your various expressions.
I have not tried sleeping in them, but LashyBrows False Brows can be worn for several days at a time without reapplying. However, if you plan to wear them for several days, they recommend spirit gum for longer wear. With proper care, LashyBrows False Brows can be removed, reapplied and worn for up to 2-4 months.
Are LashyBrows Waterproof?
Wearing in the pool or shower is not recommended. The adhesive that holds the false brow may break down faster especially from chemicals like chlorine.
Can I Wear False Eyebrows if I Already have Eyebrow Hair?
As you may or may not have noticed, thick eyebrows are all the rage again. Yes, this was also a 90’s trend (before the thin brows were a thing) – remember Cindy Crawford? So many girls are trying to achieve that thick, bushy look right now.
You can use the LashyBrows to simply fill in where you want more hair, or you can completely cover a sparse thin eyebrow. Just keep in mind that the adhesive may stick to your natural brows so you need to carefully remove them to avoid pulling out your hair.
I’ve gotten so many comments on my videos about how people like me with the thicker brows. But I just can’t seem to get used to it. My eyes are so small and hooded, that I feel thick brows are too overpowering for me. In my 2nd video (with the Charlize style) I had to trim the brows down to a shape that I felt suited me more.

Fake Eyebrows FTW!
For those of us with no eyebrow hair, suffer from alopecia, or have lost your brows due to chemotherapy, this is definitely one of the most natural-looking false eyebrows on the market. They even have a pair of fake eyebrows for men too!
They are definitely a cost-effective solution to the gels and powders you can buy at the store and they are reusable. It’s a win-win!

If your brows in the 90s were shaved, why did they not grow back? Currently any hair? Do you pluck them?
I got them tattooed higher than my natural brows. So if I grew them in, it would look like I have 2 sets of brows. That would be yuck. Lol😂
Yes 2 sets would be a disaster! I have fear of tattoo brows for 2 reasons. I like very thin with an arch and slightly (only slightly higher than natural). If tattooed they all seem geared to doing the “threaded” look to make them look as natural and as full as possible – well had that, wanted the thin a’la Harlow/Dietrich.so I do fear they’d put them on back to where I was with natural. The biggest fear is they’d make some balance or arch mistake, then one would then be stuck with that forever. To save time – though only about 5-8 minutes a day but it’s the everyday again & again that I’d consider such. Pretty good at drawing them on exactly as I like – if only I could guarantee permanent would turn out the same I would do it this today. As is I’ve done plucking (some unusual ;- ) ) long enough they are permanently gone; though I entered into such knowing and wanting this. Thank so much for your videos – B
That’s exactly what I did too. I had them skinny and higher than my natural brows. It was the 90s when the skinny brows were really popular. You’re right that most brow artists will want to give you natural brows. I definitely regret getting them tattooed and they faded so much just not enough. Right now I’m just using brow powder and sometimes a tri-tip marker to do my brows. They are easy and cheap 🙂
