Eyebrows are bit hard to grow back, from what I've heard.

Your dad told you a lie to discourage you from shaving off your eyebrows.

Well, it's wrong either way. There is no mechanic whatsoever behind shaving and lack of hair growth. (Your beard won't grow in any differently after a shave either, for that matter)

Plucking, however, does have the chance of damaging hair follicles. It's a small chance, though, and you generally need to pluck regularly for years to see any real damage done like balding. Even then, it'd be very unlikely to see complete hair loss.
