FabSwingers.com forum: Eyebrow debate...

The eyebrow debate...

Plucking... It hurts! Takes ages and I can never get them even

Waxing... Painful but quick however I'm scared that my whole eyebrow will be removed!!

Threading.. Some pain but generally my chosen method. I'm also always astounded that someone can do this with two pieces of cotton!

Preference people and why?

Ginge x

Same here, waxing every now and again for shape and plucking in between x

Not a fan of my eyebrows

Waxing and very slight tint. They’re so blonde you can’t see them otherwise.

Threaded around every 4wks then a pluck if an odd one appears.

Was advised to stop getting them waxed many yrs go as waxing pulls the skin. Not sure if that's true.

I just prefer threading now over waxing

I get mine waxed. Threading is painful and makes me sneeze.

My eyebrows aren't particularly thick so I pluck a few hairs myself once a week.

I had them waxed once and my skin reacted badly so I stuck to plucking.

Mine are thick & quite dark, for a blonde. I just pluck. Try doing it after a shower when your pores are more open

Threading is my preference but waxing is fine too. When I don't want strangers near my face, scissors plus concealer, haha

Apparently 90s brows are coming back in. Oh hell no

Hair removal cream when I can be bothered. Most of the time I just leave them as they are

I think it’s some sort of chemical that makes them stay up and fluffy as if you had the brow wax on ? Could be wrong tho x

It’s when you put paper in a plastic sleeve and heat it to seal the edges.

You’re welcome.

Leaving them alone. Maybe a brush through them if I'm going all out and making a real effort.

I over plucked in the 90's and paying the price now. They are barely there. When I get them done professionally I will have a wax and tint. Otherwise I pencil them in and pluck the strays.

I know that eyebrows serve a purpose but I still find them weird.I trim mine regularly because I really don't want to be the old git with bushy brows like Jeremy Clarkson!

At the moment I trim mine because occasionally they grow long enough to get in my eye.

In previous relationships I have been known to go after my partner's eyebrows with a pair of scissors with only "hold very still" as a warning. (I only get the ones making a break for the eyeball)
