I don’t have the answer by the way I’m just wondering

I don't

Pinkstars2501 · 29/04/2020 17:46

I get mine threaded. Not an extreme difference, but gives them a nice shape. I needed them done as lockdown happened, now they're terrible.
Good job I have a fringe....which I keep having to trim as well 🙄😆

orlarose · 29/04/2020 17:46

I don't touch mine. Luckily I didn't pluck mine out and they're naturally a good shape etc

Interested in this thread?

No idea, I don't do mine and never have.
I also don't notice other people's unless they are plucked to almost nothing or a total monobrow.

I like my natural eyebrows. I just get rid of a few odd hairs. A lot of women my age plucked theirs to death in their younger days but I never did

Fromage · 29/04/2020 17:53

I don't. Never have.

Oblomov20 · 29/04/2020 17:54

Nope. Never have. A very occasional dye to make them stand out.

I think most normal people don't. High %.

This whole huge microblading cara delevingne thing makes them look like twats.

Firstimemam · 29/04/2020 17:57

I don't! I barely have any, wouldn't even know where to take it off 😂 evidence attached

Oblomov20 · 29/04/2020 17:58

My claim to fame is I once had my eyebrows shaped by Shavata singh in London.

Who told me off over plucking even though I have never plucked them and I have big gaps in the middle and at the sides.

And I left completely bright red and it didn't go down for 3 days.

Northernsoullover · 29/04/2020 18:01

I have never plucked mine. I still have to pencil the bloody things in.

poolsofsunshine · 29/04/2020 18:02

I think most don't. 70/30 split maybe. Women means every female from 18-100+ years old, and I imagine that those eyebrow plucking/ waxing might be a majority in certain age groups, but not throughout the age range.

BearSoFair · 29/04/2020 18:04

I don't. Except for the odd stray that suddenly pops up a bit close to the middle!

SanFrancisco49er · 29/04/2020 18:05

I have naturally huge and very dark eyebrows. I have to pluck everyday as they grow back so quickly. I will never leave them to be natural, even if thick eyebrows are in. Theyre a bit rugby player from the 70s if left which I don't think anyone wants.

Titsywoo · 29/04/2020 18:05

Most now I think as it's no longer fashionable. I wasn't really one for plucking in the 90's although I did have them waxed for a while up until about 8 years ago and now I fill them in a bit (they've always been pale and sparse).

GrumpyHoonMain · 29/04/2020 18:06

I am Indian and we are encouraged not to do our own eyebrows. Instead I would go every 3 weeks to get them threaded. They have grown back (and then some!) over lockdown but I am trying not to touch them as it will ruin the shape later.

However my darker skinned Indian and black friends don’t need to remove any facial or body hair at all. Their eyebrows are perfect.

poolsofsunshine · 29/04/2020 18:07

StudentHelp since you were 13! 😲
Why does that idea make me feel so uncomfortable?

SpringIsSprung1 · 29/04/2020 18:10

I am not a pluckerSmile

GingerScallop · 29/04/2020 18:11

I never do. Well, I tried may be 5 times in my life. Not for me. But then am Ms Scruffy

Glacierminty · 29/04/2020 18:11

I don’t

Merename · 29/04/2020 18:14

I have an underactive thyroid and have had no new growth for about 10 years. Used to pluck to shape when younger.

EmpressLangClegInChair · 29/04/2020 18:15

I’ve never done anything to my eyebrows, they’re fine as they are.

Costacoffeeplease · 29/04/2020 18:17

I used to pluck a little bit, but hardly need to now, one of the benefits of getting older, less vigorous body hair! Smile

Stressedmummyof4 · 29/04/2020 18:21

I don't and never have done lol. My mum who's early 60's is forever pencilling her's in now after what she calls over plucking. I just honestly couldn't be bothered with it all Grin

I only ever pluck out the rogue grey eyebrow hair. My eyebrows don’t need plucking, they are shit hot already lol
