Eyebrows

[Purple Banana]

Anyone else obsessive about plucking their eyebrows? I always have to keep mine well groomed... I don't really care about makeup or anything, but my eyebrows always have to be neat and even...

My tweezers broke, so I took a disposable suture kit home from work, and used the ones in there. They're good! :thumbsup:

I'm a freak about my eyebrows, and sadly..they're naturally BUSHY as hell. I keep 'em trimmed, plucked and arched.

I noticed that mine needed some help this morning and I couldn't find tweezers anywhere.

Neat eyebrows are very important to me... I rarely wear much in the way of makeup, and i wear glasses... If my eyebrows get messy my glasses look like they are on crooked lol. I'm terrified of having them waxed though after one of my girlfriends had hers done by -geez, brow-yanker chick musta been drunk as a skunk- took one of them almost clean OFF.

On the subject, Birdgirl, this one's for you:
Do the hormones associated with pregnancy inhibit your body's ability to regrow hair that has been plucked?
I personally know two women who got into that trap of 'I feel preggers and puffy; therefore Ima primp the rest of myself big time'... they overplucked their eyebrows whilst pregnant and neither has been able to regrow them...
What's up with that?

I pluck, I there okay and pretty good naturally, I just pluck stray hairs.

I don't know what's up with that. I know pregnancy hormones sort of make people shed less hair than normal. That is, it sort of holds on during the pregnancy and then tends to fall out more like normal afterwards. Nails and hair get thicker during pregnancy, some of which may be attributable to prenatal vitamins. But I've never heard of eyebrows being affected. If anything, it seems like they'd grow in faster instead of not regrowing.

Eventually with enough plucking, eyebrows don't grow back in, pregnant or not. When I was younger, I'd still get stray eyebrows starting to grow in some areas. Now that I've plucked and replucked enough, they don't even come back in. That's why it's important not to overpluck. I have a friend whose mom overdid it with the plucking and she now has to draw brows on if she wants them. (And she ALWAYS gets the placement of the drawn-in ones wrong, which makes her look ridiculous!)

I like neat eyebrows, too! I noticed a scary thing in my left eyebrow yesterday when I was looking in the magnifying mirror. Two completely gray/white hairs coming in. It's the beginning of the end . . .

I've never plucked or done a single thing to mine....they are so light, since they are strawberry, and they aren't terribly bushy...they are a little weirdly shaped though...

*Worried* Do you guys think I need to? Here are a few pics of them up close...sorry, I don't wear any makeup, so just bear with me... (I actually love the way the last picture turned out in general, even though I was just going for eyebrows!)

I think your fine V, but what's wrong with your finger? You look beautiful without makeup anyways.

Well thats an interesting story...I burned it first, from draining the water from steaming hot pasta and having it splash up all over my hand. Then I cut myself pretty deeply, of course right into one of the blisters, while I was attempting to cook again. With it being cut and burned it was pretty exposed to the elements so I wanted to actually cover it up for once, unlike most of my wounds.

I can't cook, if you didn't get that.... My boy is a chef though, so it works well.

And thank you very much for that, you made my day.

Your brows look great, and you have the most beautiful green eyes and clear skin! Don't change a thing. (But be careful with boiling water and knives, for goodness sakes!)

You remind me of my little sister, Vileox! She's got very vivid eyes, too, and is very pretty just like you.
