Woman's eyebrow transplant grows so long she has to trim and 'style' them

A woman has revealed how she has to regularly trim her eyebrows after getting a hair transplant.

Haley Sellers shared her story on TikTok, where she's known as @haleypaigesabine.

Growing up, Hayley said that she had really fair eyebrows and never really experimented with putting makeup on them until she was in high school.

She said: "I told my mum I wanted my eyebrows done because they were a little bit wild, a little bit crazy.

"She told me to just tweeze them myself. So that's what I did.

"I tweezed them, I tried looking up images to try to do it, I didn't know what I was doing.

"It became this really bad habit of plucking my eyebrows every time I would see a long hair."

Then, she started drawing her brows on.

Her dad paid for her to get the hair transplant (@haleypaigesabine/TikTok)

She did this for a couple of years or so before she decided to get microblading - a cosmetic procedure that involves a needle inserting pigment under the skin to give the look of natural eyebrows.

"Before my surgery I got micro-blading, but the cr***y thing about this is that it only lasted me a week.

"Then I went to get a touch-up, lasted me a week. So then I started drawing on my eyebrows again."

But then her dad came home one night and told her he had a surprise for her.

"So then I opened it and it was an eyebrow picture and it said 'Baby got brows back,' so I was like ok, confused, what is this.

"He was like, 'You're gonna get eyebrows'," Haley said.

Still confused, Haley replied: "I was like: "What do you mean?"

Hair follicles from her head were implanted into her eyebrows (@haleypaigesabine/TikTok)

"He's like you're gonna get a hair transplant to your eyebrows."

"I was so scared, the morning of my surgery I was terrified," she shared.

"So they took this much of my hair," Haley said as she showed where her hair had been cut from her head.

"They cut out a piece of my scalp, it goes from my ear to the middle of my head." She said, touching the back of her head.

"They took out the piece of the scalp and they sewed me back up and they took the hair follicles out of my scalp and they implanted them into my face."

Now she has to trim them regularly to keep them in check (@haleypaigesabine/TikTok)

Haley then showed pictures of her face after the surgery and said she was "super swollen."

"The good thing about is that I did not feel anything, 125% numb for the whole thing," she said.

"That was in 2018 but now they are long and pretty growing."

In a follow-up video, Haley showed what her eyebrows look like today and repeatedly said: "They're super long," as she pulled up her hairs upward to cover her forehead.

She then proceeded to show how she trims and 'styles' them.

Viewers were stunned by the length of her brows, with many only just learning that this sort of procedure was available.

One person said: "My jaw dropped when you combed them up! How do they grow so long???"

Another wrote: "I can confidently say I have NEVER seen something like this before."

"So they are implanted scalp follicles?" asked a third. They continuously grow long and require trimming every once in a while? Amazing."

Someone else exclaimed: "WOAH WHAT"
