And how do you do it, tweezing, waxing, threading, in a salon or at home? Do you use those little stencils? Pluck from only from above, or underneath, or both?

Does it really make a difference? (I think it does)

I'm quite obsessive about mine - I wax and pluck (the very fine blonde hairs just won't go with the wax :mad:

)
edit: i don't over-do it though! They look natural, but neat. I leave the first half alone and start to shape directly about my pupil.

I do the mono bit and just make sure any stray hairs are dealt with. I have a fringe so I've not much need to worry about my eyebrows

I do mine in quite a steep arch and i get them done professionally and get the top bleached rather than plucked xoxo

I'm ginger and so my eyebrows are fair, kinda browny blonde. I sometimes pluck cos they aren't a perfect arch or anything, but frequently I can't be bothered :smile:

not sure about those options... I pluck them though, but not that much. Just blow, not above the eyebrows. Sort of cleaning it up by getting rid of the strays that don't belong to the natural arch of the brows I guess...

Mine are very blonde. They don't look that defined anyway (and would look strange if they were any darker; people would think I dye my hair), so all I need to do is pluck about three stray hairs every four months or so. It's great!

I get mine professionally done (a combo of plucking & waxing)- my eyebrows are naturally quite thick, so plucking them by myself can be quite harrowing.

I get mine threaded. It hurts more than the other methods, but once you've done it atleast 3 times you'll become (fairly) immune to the pain.

what is threading? i pluck the underneath of my eyebrows when it needs doing and have a gentle arch in them cos i don't like really harshly plucked ones.

Natural :P

I tweeze the underneath part of my eyebrows and wax the top of it so its a perfect shape and bends like an upside down v on top of my pupils.

Threading = using a thread to pluck your eyebrows. You've probably seen them do it in salons.

Natural but once every few months I get them threaded.

I've just worked out how to thread myself... I did the funny loopy thing and pulled it on my skin...

Ouuuchhhhhh :eek:

same here.

are you supposed to pluck above the eyebrows? i did that once at a salon and it looked very good afterwards (the main reason they did it was cause i have a scar at the end of one of them and she plucked them more equal) however when i have plucked them at salons since then they never do that cause they say that it is wrong and you shouldn't. the one that did it the first time doesn't work anymore :frown:
