Believe me, I know. I have an extreme unibrow. I just shave it, and that usually works fine.

Doesn't shaving make it grow out thicker and darker?

No, but it does grow back quicker. I have to shave it about every 2-3 days.

DON'T get tattooed eyebrows.


Agree. :eew:

sometimes, if a person's eyebrow hairs fall out (due to body hair loss or overplucking), they are left with limited options. drawing them in is time-consuming and hard to do nicely, plus eyebrow pencil can rub off or run. tattooing is a common solution, but not everyone goes for the "natural look" i guess.

mine are naturally thin so i can leave them, though i do have to trim them as the hairs grow a little long sometimes. it's amusing.

I've got some that are longer than my fingernail and curl at the ends. Usually I just trim the end off so it lays flat. They're funny to look at but they are annoying while you're trying to groom your face.

My hair is naturally thick and dark so looking at my arms is a nightmare... I know I'm not supposed to (because it makes it grow faster, thicker, ect.) but I do so because the hairs always get caught on my watch. >.>

When I shaved, mine would seem to have grown to a stubble within HOURS-
might be invisible compared to my natural state, but I hated feeling like a cactus.

I've never plucked or waxed my eyebrows in my life. I don't want to take away from my masculinity and character.

Y'know what's worse? Plucking nose hairs that have gone awry.

Forget about your masculinity. Unibrows make people look like Frankenstein's even less attractive brother.

Trim, don't pluck.

Thank God! Please never do. I know its a trend now, but I do not find a man pluking his eyebrows or wearing nail polish any attractive. You should be stronger than me, you know?

I like natural-looking brows. Those painted-on arches seen on older women look hideous, and the no-brow look is just plain weird.

Monobrow?

You should see mine. It looks like a hairy caterpillar took up residence on my forehead.
