I've had my brows waxed for years. Brow growth is when I get my hair cut.
I always sucked at plucking my eyebrows. I've had them waxed a couple different times, but never kept it up. I've had my legs waxed too, I don't think either brows or legs hurt.
It's your choice whether you want to be a fur bearing woman or not - either way, it will grow back.;)
Knot, you are funny as hell! Thanks for making me laugh tonight.Quote:

What is it?? Is it like sugaring?
Leave those eyebrows be. when you get to my age you're gonna miss 'em.:o
I found waxing not as painful as the tweezer. It only takes 15 minutes and looks much better than when I torture myself!

Get your minds out of the gutter, his cleanshaven *chin*.
I'll pluck my eyebrows a little when I feel like it, it doesn't hurt much, but I HATE plucking hair off my upper lip. It HURTS! Since having a child I still get dark skin patches on my upper lip so I look like I have a moustache anyway, so I try to remove hairs there so the effect isn't double. In summer the hairs are bleached white so happily they have the opposite effect :)
Plucking yer lip is much more painful than waxing. At least with waxing you get it over in one fell schwack!
I get my eyebrows plucked at a local place. I have very fair, sensitive skin and had a few times where the wax burned my brow. What's the point in having a nice looking brow with a burn mark?? They have seperate wax for sensitive skin, but I guess mine is really sensitive because it still burned. If you have sensitive skin, I would highly recommend finding a place that plucks them. They'll give you a nice shape that you can maintain yourself. I will never go back to wax after getting them professionally waxed!
I get my eyebrows professionally waxed every 3-4 weeks. I've never done them myself because I think it's hard to get them looking symmetrical from eyebrow to eyebrow on your own--just IMHO...I'm crooked and lopsided LOL doing work like that :)
It doesn't really hurt. I'm sensitive and a big wimp, but I'm used to it know. I didn't start getting my done until I was 30 years old :)
Having a nice brow makes it easier for applying eyeshadow, etc. It really opens your eyes up and makes you look awake and fresh :)
I effing hate my eyebrows. I can't 'shape' them because only the little bit closest to the middle is thick enough to be 'shapeable'... after that it's thin but spread out. I 'shape' it and it sort of disappears or looks crooked b/c of the permanent, natural part. Eww. But I have always tweezed them myself. Mom was a beautician in a former life and told me to warm things up and open the pores first with a hot, moist compress. It limits the amount of damage done when plucking. Then, one at a time and *with* the grain or you're going to raise h*ll some more.
A dab of alcohol (*YOW!*) after both tweezing and waxing will prevent infected pores and zits etc...) finish up with a non-greasy antiseptic or lotion like eucerin.
I can't have my eyebrows waxed. I have a nasty, nasty reaction and am red for hours, after which I get a ton of white bumps everywhere. Sometimes I even get this reaction from plucking.
I want to do electrolysis someday, but it is expensive. *sigh*
Wax here :D
OTG, if you really really wanted it, they have different types of wax and you might not react to a different one. I need to go, it's been since November! In fact today when I was riding, a guy accidently brandished a weed-whacker at me and I thought it was a personal statement.
I've pretty much waxed everything there is to wax at one point in my life. I get bored and, I don't know. I haven't done underarms but I hear it doesn't really hurt that much. For those who have trouble with the waxing hurting, go somewhere good and remember it's like wind or climbing hills, it ends and pretty darned quickly too :D
There was a woman that I used to work with that was of some middle-eastern descent. She had to wax her whole face!!! I don't think her forehead but her cheeks and stuff.
With eyebrows, I have found that I am not clever enough to make them even and symmetrical. Plus, I tend to find hairs that irk me so I start pulling and before I know it I have bald spots :o
