I've checked, if you tightly pin back the hair above your forehead, then it's almost impossible to furrow your brow. Can this method be used instead of <a href="https://staging.harleystreetskinclinic.com/treatment/botox/">Botox</a>?? It dissolves after a month anyway. And won't it then be necessary to have a facelift because of this?

And if you braid your plaits a bit tighter, you'll be smiling all the time.

Your hair will start falling out from such tightness, it'll get ruined.

I've never heard of such a thing. What are you furrowing your brow for? Could it be nerves? It's better to tackle the cause rather than the "symptoms". That way, your overall health will improve, by the way. As for tying your hair back so tightly to prevent your brow from furrowing...how tight would you have to tie it then... Don't torture your hair, understand why you're furrowing your brow, if it happens very often, learn to control yourself, if it doesn't happen very often, but you still furrow, and if it's age-related, well...no one stays young forever. And, by the way, sagging of the lower third of the face ages you much more than wrinkles. I hope I've helped at least a little 😊.

No, this method won't help, you'd better not furrow your brow, I concur with the above.

I can't control this, I don't even notice it. Only in the mirror in the form of wrinkles. Honestly, I've never seen people who've mastered their facial expressions! Some have tiny creases forming, while others, like me, have deep folds and skin that looks like sausages.

Accept it, if you have such facial expressions, you can't track your movements, you'll have to get injections! Go somewhere else, try Dysport instead of Botox. Inject for a long time so that you not only consciously, but also on a subconscious level get used to not frowning, then you can inject less often, but for now you will have to because the forehead with wrinkles is, in my opinion, the most difficult case, it needs to be immobilised as soon as possible, I've seen such cases. You probably just started injecting, it won't always be like this, first inject more or more often, then less will be needed. In principle, you can of course wear a ponytail, but you won't always, and bald spots will appear, I'm telling you for sure, I've seen it on black women, they have very problematic curly hair and they pull it into a ponytail, almost every one who does this gets bald spots, these hairs on the temples and above the forehead are weaker than the main mass, they will start falling out from the strain in a month, better get injections, then less will be needed, but for now you will have to.
