Threading, plucking or waxing ?

I ignore them. I've no idea whether other people think my eyebrows are neat and tidy. Nor do I care. I don't think about them. They are eyebrows doing what eyebrows do.

You've just reminded me to have a go at mine later today NanKate. I'll pluck out any very obvious stray hairs, usually not that many, then dye them a mid brown. They have turned quite white (though my hair hasn't)

It only takes a few minutes and it's amazing what a difference that makes.

I might give my old dog a bath and trim too though he, like bags doesn't care what he looks or smells like. I don't mean bags doesn't care what she smells like, I'm sure she does - cares, not smells - getting myself in a tangle here better leave it at that.

I get them waxed and tinted every month at the hairdressers - its about £12. Threading is reputed to be very good -but sometimes painful and more expensive.

Definitely recommend waxing, but just make sure the operator isn't overly zealous... bald brows aren't a good look! I never touched mine for years apart from tweezing the odd stray hair, but once I got older and they became a bit free range I decided they needed taming. Waxing is quick and only very mildly uncomfortable.

Thatbags everyone to their own.

Someone I know quite well has very bushy eyebrows and I long to launch my tweezers on them, nothing over the top just smartening up a tad.

I quite like the idea of having them tinted Teetime do you have to choose from a lot of colours ?

Waxing definitely, have got Alistair Darling look so need to be kept in check before looks more like Dennis Healy's!

My eyebrows are so sparse now I dare not pluck... I just use a pencil and gel combination to darken them slightly, nothing worse than dark eyebrows when ones hair is white/silver it looks very odd.

What eyebrows? Like tanith mine are so sparse I have to draw them. I use mid brown pencil as greying hair is dyed light brown/dark blonde.

I did used to over pluck them years ago

I have mine threaded by a lovely Turkish lady, it costs £5 or £8 if I have have my upper lip done as well. It takes 5 minutes, and makes your eyes water a bit but not any more painful than waxing.

I grow 2 bushes but they are threaded regularly. The problem is that the girl never gets them looking the same, I always have to point out where she has gone wrong.

I use Elizabeth Arden brow shaper, just right for me, I think it is good to give the brows definition as it seems to lift the face.
I tweeze them myself!

well said, my feelings exactly.

Heavens above! - do people really do all these things? - it sounds gruesome!

I have thick dark brown eyebrows and occasionally tweeze a few out when I start to look like Nigel Lawson - but otherwise I leave those who look at me to do so at their own risk!

Mine aren't all that thick and rarely need a hair tweezered out, maybe one a fortnight. However I do get the odd long one, so I trim them all by simply brushing them upwards and cutting across any that look too long.

As they are blonde, I use Boots' 30 day mascara to colour them and my eyelashes. I did it this morning in fact. It makes such a difference to how I feel about myself when I wake up early in the morning and look in the mirror. I look almost human!

I have no problem with my eyebrows. It's my chin whiskers that bother me. I pluck them out with tweezers. I wish I could find electrolysis locally.

Why do I only see my chin whiskers when they're really long? It's almost as if they spring out of nowhere!

When I was younger, I used to pluck mine. Over the years they have stopped growing back, so I have quite neat eyebrows all the time. That said, the remaining ones do grow longer nowadays, so a little trim with the scissors is sometimes called for.

I think that the hairs that I used to pluck from my eyebrows have re-routed and now surface above my top lip, and as I've started plucking there, goodness knows where they might move to next. .

I haven't plucked mine for years. Just pencil them into a nice shape

Threading for eyebrows, lip and chin. It's a bit uncomfortable but doesn't last long and is kinder to the skin than waxing.

I love a good pluck, never go anywhere without my faithful tweezers. (chin and other stray hairs )

Do you find you look at people's faces and want to get the tweezers out on them ?

I agree Flowerofthewest there is a satisfied feeling that comes with every hair removed.

If I do my own the satisfied feeling is too often followed by a sinking feeling when I realise I've got the lopsided look....

I may have said this before in other hairy stories. I work as a volunteer on an island once a year. I had gone onto the island this particular time and, horror of horrors, had forgotten to pack my faithful tweezers. I had visions of a hairy beast welcoming the visitors onto the island by the end of the week looking like a witch (not that bad really) I noticed that on particular lady who was also volunteering had left her see through makeup bag on the windowsill of the shower room. There before my very eyes were a pair of tweezers. So now and then I would sneak them out of the bag and tweek replacing them without her knowledge. I didn't feel too bad when I found out that she had forgotten to pack any knickers and had to borrow a couple of pair from her friend Anne who she insisted called herself Maeve for the duration of the week. Don't ask!

Don't ask, ? That's like a red rag to a bull - now we are dying to know why!
