How do you maintain your eye brows??

[Paris2019]

I'm in my late 30s and feel like everyone in the world has perfect eye brows apart from me lol. My eye brows are very dark brown, pretty thick and I like their overall shape but just don't know how to keep them tidy?! The individual hairs are quite wiry. If I get them threaded / waxed at the salon, I get regrowth within days and can't afford to go every week. I've tried home wax strips but can't master them and usually end up ripping skin off!! So I usually just try and keep on top of them by plucking them but always seem to have some stubble / regrowth.

I am scared of hd brows as I think I'd end up looking like a witch as my eye brows are so dark.

It just seems everyone else has perfectly shaped and maintained eye brows, where as mine are a mess!!

I'm a bit the same, but mine are quite scarce, they're rubbish, barely grow but have stragglers all over the place . I've tried so many different salons and given up as they seem to just not do what I like.

I've just started using face hair removal cream on a cotton bud, it works pretty well, maybe give that a go? Though saying that it doesn't last long until they grow back.

Ooh that's a good idea, probably easier than the wax strips, thanks!

I just pluck them. If you get them shaped once in a while you just follow the shape they did. With regrowth showing it’s a case of having decent tweezers to get the tiny hairs, I’ve had my Tweezermans for over 25 years so they are a worthwhile investment

I just pluck mine with tweezers, but not very heavily. They are dark (though I have light brown/dark blonde hair). Mine are getting a little sparser, so I use a normal eyebrow pencil to fill them in a bit when I can be bothered.

Tbh I wouldn't remotely notice whether somebody's eyebrows were 'perfect' or not. What even is a perfect eyebrow? They seems to change fashion pretty often. I only notice them if they're particularly wild or if they are those ridiculous HD slug ones (which don't seem to be so popular now, fortunately!).

I just pluck any that appear above or below, use Vaseline at night to keep them silky and it seems to promote growth and then I use a pencil occasionally for a more groomed look.

My eyebrows are barely visible, which I don't especially love! Makes me look like Humpty Dumpty.

I use eyebrow gel which keeps them tidy and also darkens them a little, (which you may not want).

Persevere with the threading, it's like waxing where you need to get into a hair growing cycle with it.

You have to be careful with it but I do mine with a dermapen now after getting powder brows. It’s really easy to follow the line of the ‘powder’ and they look well groomed but not thick which is why i haven’t done HD either - they don’t need to be any darker!

I was getting mine threaded but the last time I went the lady did it while eating a pear, which was absolutely disgusting, and I got spots afterwards, which I blame on her

I like a hd brow. Yes, they look scary as they go heavy on the makeup after the appointment but they do get a good shape. I get mine done once a year and then just pluck to keep the shape.

I get mine threaded about every month and pluck the worst strays out in between. I also get them dyed at the same time.

I usually get mine threaded but now DD 14 expertly plucks them for me as it's easier to do from home. She also trims my long hair.

Microbladed and then I wax around the shape when needed

Mine are very dark - I get them threaded about every 2 or 3 weeks and pluck them in between - any longer and I start to pluck too enthusiastically and start to lose the shape! Giving them a little brush or a comb every day makes a difference as well.

I've got crap ones too OP - they seem to grow outwards for some reason!! I trim obvious wild ones with nail scissors and pluck stragglers. Benefit do some good pencils for filling in gaps.

Hi, just chipping in as I have been a regular eyebrow waxer at the salon, for many years. So I know what you mean about re growth etc in between, and obviously worse for some more than others. You could try one of the eye brow pen like trimmers?
