Hi Carl,
There is no way to predict what may or may not happen with alopecia areata. I wish there were...

Hi Carl. I lost my eyelashes and eyebrows. I get the eyebrows tattooed every so often but I am looking at getting some temporary tattoos soon. I all depends on the type of alopecia you have. Google it and you'll be able to suss what type of alopecia you have

Yes unfortunately its unpredictable so no one can say with any reliability what will happen (And if thay say they can then don't beleive them).

Unfortunately if you lose your eyebrows there are ways to deal with it cosmetically - False eyebrows (Dont kno much about them), Tattoos , manual application or simply not hiding it.

Thanks all. I guess Il just wait and see. It seems the only predictable factor is that its completely UNpredictable. Everybody seems to have had differing onset progression. I wonder how many people actually put the cause down to an event, Like trauma, injury or stress, as these seem to be common factors.
