Spotlight
Each month on NAAF’s website we highlight one Alopecia Areata Marketplace vendor.
Here are three vendors we are spotlighting this spring.
July Spotlight
Eazy Brow
Eazy Brow is
a hands free
adjustable eyebrow
mask that was developed by Wendy McGee. Ms. McGee
is an ovarian cancer survivor who experienced the effects
of chemotherapy, so she knows what it is like to have the
inability to grow eyebrows, hair and eyelashes.. After her
recovery, Wendy was on a mission to solve this problem
for other women, thus Eazy Brow was born! The Eazy
Brow mask does all the work. Simply fill in the eyebrow
templates on the mask with your colorant. With Eazy
Brow, there is no more guessing or wasting time on the
placement of your eyebrows. Eazy Brow gives you straight,
expression-responsive eyebrows every time. Eazy Brow
offers many beautiful eyebrow shapes with more shapes
to come! Men’s eyebrow shapes are coming soon!
