Does the hair bulb produce hair?

Only the cells of the hair bulb are alive to understand this more here is how the hair bulb if formed. Hair follicles forms a cluster of cells in the upper layer of the skin. These cluster of cells are called the primitive hair germ, which needs nourishment to grow into a developed hair follicle. To get nourishment it works all the way down into the lower layer of the skin. As it does, the cell cluster pulls the upper layer down with it creating a follicle called the root Sheath, out of which the hair will grow. The shape of this follicle then determines the shape of the hair shaft as it grows from the follicle.

Will your eyebrows grow back if you have scar?

Depending on the depth of the cut. There are a few amounts of layers of skin at one point if cut deep enough you will reach the layer where the hair begins to grow. The eyebrow is a very sensitive location because it does not have as many layers of skin there for hair that grows is reasonably close to the top layer (your eyebrow skin) so most likely unfortunately if it was just a scratch it will grow back. If it required butterfly stitches or regular stitches then no the hair will not grow back but the scar will heal and may not even be that noticeable. Hoped this helped.
