Why Are My Eyebrows Turning Grey?

Quick answer: Eyebrows turn grey when the follicles stop producing melanin, the pigment that gives hair its color. It's mostly driven by age and genetics, and sometimes by stress or low vitamin B12. It's completely normal — and grey brows are easy to cover with a soft powder or stamp in a natural shade.

What causes grey eyebrows?

• Age & genetics — the main reasons; melanin production slows over time.
• Stress — can speed up greying.
• Nutrition — low B12 or thyroid issues can contribute.

Can you cover grey brows?
