Dealing with Eyebrows

[Guest ValerieD]

How do I deal with my eyebrows? Simply getting them waxed once enough isn't enough, but I don't want to spend the time/money to have it done every week like they need. I can't get them permanently shaped without reverting to the natural male brow shape (I have a thick, bushy unibrow when not waxed/tweezed), which isn't an option because I'm full time already. They're also thick enough and grow back fast enough that tweezing them isn't really practical. What can I do?

Mine grow back fast too. Just have to stay on top of it unfortunately.

Mine grow back fast enough as well. I have the shape I want and i keep them as such with my brow razor. Starting Wed. my electrolysis lady is going to start zapping the unwanted. I really can not wait till they are just done with. I get my brow razors from Sephora, careful as they are super sharp.

My laser clinic offers brow laser, they told me to get it shaped and if I like it I could come in when it starts to grow out and they could laser along the established shape I'm considering this because I don't wanna get waxed every other week! lol

I'm getting electrolysis done on mine. She (the tech) forbid me from touching my brows and letting them grow out so she can shape them correctly because I had been doing it all wrong. It was a test of willpower to not clean up my brows over the last 6 weeks. I just keep telling myself the end result will be totally worth it.

I use tweezers every few days but i am blessed by being a natural blond so if i am not perfect it doesn't show too much. It still took a good bit of time to work them up and get them "right". It is a pain (in fact i sometimes tear up), but with light hair laser isn't possible. Maybe after a few years of HRT i'll see if i need electro. Beauty is fun if difficult. It was easier being a sloppy guy but i so enjoy being as pretty as i can be.

Hugs,

Unfortunately "grow them out and let the laser clinic shape them" won't work for me. I don't pass if my eyebrows are allowed to grow out. They day they were all grown out just before my monthly was the same day that campus dining started using male pronouns around me, and also the day I decided that waxing alone wasn't enough.

I get mine threaded. I went to a place in one of our local malls last weekend with my friend to show her how cool it was. Its a pretty quick and painless process and I got them slightly arched this time too. I usually get them done every month or so and its pretty cheap to do at about $8 a treatment. I picked up some eyebrow gel and powder to make them match my hair and loved the effect!

[Guest Kaylee234]

Yeah, that was my first time getting my eyebrows threaded. It was actually pretty cool, and I was impressed by how quickly and painlessly it was done. I definitely will go back again.

Couldn't convince Cassie to buy me that pink sapphire tennis bracelet, though.

I have thick eyebrows as well, not to mention a unibrow if I let it go unchecked. I have been tempted to get my eyebrows threaded, but haven't taken the plunge yet. All I do for the moment is constantly stay on top of my brows every few days by using a brow razor on them. At some point I will have them done professionally.

What exactly is "getting ones eyebrows threaded"?

[Guest CassieX]

Hi Mara, If you Google the definition of threading eyebrows there's a nice wiki entry on it that explains the background and history but basically its precision hair removal using a cotton thread several hairs at a time which allows the person doing it to shape your eyebrows both quickly and relatively painlessly. I started having it done about 12 years ago while stationed overseas as it can tame the shaggiest eyebrows and make a person look years younger.

Now I see threading salons all over the place in Virginia, so its really taken off here in a good way.
