Eyebrowscaping
 

Well?

Apparently my friends assume I have naturally beautifully shaped eyebrows because I don't wear make-up very often so it doesn't occur to them I'm vain enough to pluck my eyebrows! :lol:

special. though I do confess it is sometimes briefly painful around rotating machinery.

I usually wax once a month and pluck the strays out in between.

I wax mine so my beautiful brows can be more beautiful. :D

but what is there to wax if you pluck in between? or do you mean you pluck in the non-wax area?

So, special people, are we talking flames here? or just too special to mention? :lol:

The hairs grow at different times, so even when you wax, there's more hairs about to hit the surface and start poking their ugly little heads through. Those are the ones I pluck, but within a couple of weeks, they're coming through faster than I can be bothered plucking them (plus it's really hard to pluck effectively when you can't see them properly, and plucking with glasses on is a bit of a trick which I can't be bothered learning), so usually at around the month mark I give up and get them waxed again.

I start with a real wax, and pluck until I fall behind enough that I've lost the shape and have to go get waxed again, probably every 2-3 months. BUT, in their natural state my eyebrow hairs are shockingly long. Not thick or bushy, just long. So more often than I pluck, I have to trim, either with tiny scissors or with one of those skinny hand-held shavers designed for men's nosehairs.

No-one gets their eyebrows threaded? I thought that was all the rage?

The place I go to offers it. But it seems like ripping off the bandaid slowly, to me.


The ladies at my place all think I'm weird because I don't cry or scream or anything.

perhaps you could braid them Clod - lol

I pull them out if I can see them without a mirror.

I almost have enough to make a broom.

If i dont shave the UniBrow , trim them for length , and shave the sides i would look like JoJo the Dog faced Boy

I use my epilady, I have a small one for that kinda stuff. I love my epilady!!

I also pluck, Im a compulsive plucker, so I have to tell myself to stop in regards to my eyebrows. I will sit and relax and pluck.

I epilady everywhere now, and strangely I love the pain.

I waxed between the brows of both my boys tonight. It was fun for me. I think it kinda was for them too in a goofy sort of way. I also think they're both pretty happy with the result.

I love being very un-hairy. Thank you NA heritage!

If I do pluck, it's just around the outer edges underneath. I remember in HS my mom said 'OH, you put on brow pencil." "No, I didn't mom!" "Your eyebrows don't look like that!" "Apparently they do, mom." She wasn't mad, she was impressed that I'd taken the effort. But I hadn't! pffffft. Nope. ;)

I imagine a pro could do something really cool, like bring out the natural arch, but I can't be bothered to keep up that kind of maintenance, being an unmade bed of a woman. :lol:

I don't mess with mine, but sometimes the barber does. Holds the comb over them as a depth gauge and runs the clippers across the length. I figure if he thinks I need it, then I'll let him do it. But I don't request it.

Sometimes they do get a bit wild. Like a great horned owl.

That's funny, I look like a great horny cow! :lol2:

NA? North African? Neo Argentine? Non Agressive? ;) I know, it's Native American

I trim mine with little scissors. If I can comb them, they're too long.

Native American.

I'm not naturally hairy either, or at least I grow fair blonde hairs.
I get the little pricklers underneath my eyebrows though. I pick and itch at them if I don't have tweezers nearby. Very bad habit; gave myself an infection in my teens.

I have been threaded and it worked well for me.
Just not interested enough to pay for it regularly.

My friend in HS was very fair, but you could cut your hand on her leg hair! (OMG feel my leg hair! No! Yeah, seriously! Ouch!) My leg hair is so baby fine, that you really couldn't see it if it weren't so dark. It's barely fuzzy. And I have about 7 total underarm hairs. *shrug* TMI?

Usually dark haired/eyed white people are swarthy. :lol:

I grow long fine hairs. Like a ginger werewolf.
I am the only person I have met with straight pubic hair.

They do eyebrow threading at one of the carts out in the open in the nearby shopping mall. How weird would that be, to be sitting in a director's chair out in the open with scores of people streaming right by you as you get plucked?

Quite a few members of staff at Boots have it done at a similar stand. It's visibile from the tills, so their colleagues can watch too, if they want.

I think that's okay.
It's not like having a Brazilian...

beauty tip
 

Save time by grooming only the eyebrow people really pay attention to. :eyebrow:

I don't even know what threading is, but I bet I won't be having it done.

It's where they figure 8 a thread around the hair and pull the ends of thethread, which tightens the figure 8, which uproots the hair.

I pluck. I have a super magnifier mirror and regularly, I get comfy with a TV show on and start looking for stray hairs during the boring parts. I'm not real particular about plucking, although my teenager is jealous of my shaped brows. I just pluck anything not in the proper place. Also, like Clod, they're insanely LONG if left to grow...yikes!

So you have to pluck and cut them?

If you let them grow, could you get them layered? I always thought eyebrows and eyelashes kind of found their own level.

Mine never get longer than they're supposed to be, but there is one that does that old person thing of half curling and half sticking straight out, like wire.

Do you have any hag hairs yet?
I have one that grows under my chin. If I leave it be, it is long and reasonably fine. But I worry at it all the time, so I can feel it coming through as a prickly new hair.

I have another on the top of my right arm. I discovered it in my early twenties and was convinced I was turning into a man.
Yes, I was as well balanced then as I am now.

braided eyebrows. There must now be braided eyebrow pr0n. :lol:

I have a hag hair under my chin. One in my eyebrow (that's what it must be) and one near the corner of my mouth.

If I forget, I'll be at work and find one and grab at it until it pulls out.

.

:vomit:

Glad I'm not an ape-person.

Okay mine aren't that bad.

I do have one hair on my chin, and 2-3 around my areolas too. Not sure if those officially count as hag hairs or not.

omg, no...I've had a few of those since I was younger. I whacked them off for years (vewwwwwy cawefullllly) and I think they went away. Which could be a perimenopausal thing, or the fact I don't care and have no need to check these days. ;)

Oh, and to explain more about post 32, I find those little hag hairs at work because sometimes when I'm working I'm just using the mouse and I find myself putting my chin in my hand and stuff. There's a hair that ain't like them other hairs. Damn hag hair.

I'd not heard the term hag hair before and I love it.

Now, let's talk about skin tags.

WTF? They should be called hag tags because I have a few tiny ones on my neck and they seem to be multiplying. (And I mess around with them when I'm working too. Lost in thought. Some girls twirl their hair, I yank strange things off my body.)

:lol:

My dad's mom had them. I'm destined. I read an article that you can do home removal. No, I ain't cutting them off, ow! But how does one get a string around it? Seriously, they talk about tying them off and they'll fall off. WHAT?

I get about three hag hairs that get ripped out often, but if one gets away and sort of just folds itself against my chin or something (not quite sure how they hide) they can get amazingly long. lol They're not like other hairs that just get to the right length and stop. These suckers just keep on growing!

skin tags are annoying. My mum had them and I've got them too. Just a couple. I did have a largish one the popped up around my panty line which really irritated me, so the doc cut it off. So far it hasn't grown back so that's good. Those things seem to like the soft skin areas of the body which are usually the areas kept for your lover (in my opinion), and there's nothing less sexy than something that looks like a wart gone soggy right where you want to be kissed.

My eyebrows tend to get long too. Whenever I get them waxed, the lady would trim them for me, which is about every 6 months. In between, I pluck the stray ones. I tame my unruly brows with a brow set. :D Okay, I'm gonna google hag hair and skin tags. First time I've heard of those terms. I guess I don't talk to women enough. :p:

Maybe he could bite 'em off while he's down there. I wouldn't notice.

:bolt:

lola...skin tags are those little moles that seem to hang by a thread. Hag hairs are the more wiry hairs that tend to sprout on your face.

I think those things are kind of hereditary so if you don't know what they are, count your blessings! :o

Yeah. I'm against that.

oh my fsm...skim reading.

I read that as you have 2-3 around your arsehole....buahahah...sorry Clod.

I pull my skin tags off, just pinch them and pull...gone, dont come back. I hate them.

I have a hag hair on the side of my jawline, epilady gets rid of it, or if I miss it I generally find it when I am driving and just keep plucking at it until it gives up and comes out.

Thanks, Inf Monkey. Nothing came up when I googled it except what's a hag. :p: I've seen hag hairs before, just not on me though.

I usuallly just pluck mine. I figure I can't get a cosmetologist to make me look like a romulan, so I do it myself. Also, I never have gotten any hairs in unusual places...but I have one hair on my arm that grows at the rate of my head hair...I try to cultivate it to freak out my husband. Otherwise, most of my hairs are rather fine.

I used to do nothing. Now I'm old enough to need trimming.

...i shave the middle of my unibrow.

makes me look less angry.

Sisters separated at birth? I think so! ;)

If I have one sister I posit another.
There must be a tribe of us globally!

hey, let's phone Spencer Tunick :)

yes, do!

as they say, pics or it didn't happen!
