I have half an eyebrow now and mom says it looks weird. I was curious if anyone else here has been known to do this. I do it while watching tv not sure why though. :-)

Yep, all the time. When I was younger I used to pull other people's eyebrow hair too, but I stopped doing that after it got me in trouble at school.

You are singing my song!

I used to do this all the time when I was younger and still do now when I get stressed.

:P

I don't pull it, I shave it with an electric razor. But when you get to a certain age, they grow so thick, you look old. And that's a bad thing nowadays.

I do but mine don't come out thankfully! I have these tough wiry brows. Maybe you need to find something to occupy your hands- take up crochet, maybe.

I tried plucking my eyebrows once and came extremely close to tears. It hurt so badly.

I remember my sister telling me that I should trim my eyebrows once. However, my dad advised me against it and gave me this little gem: "The only difference between a good eyebrow and a bad one is a single hair."

I like stroking them. Not pulling them out though, unless I'm tweezing. Then I have to do it as fast as possible, so it hurts minimally.

Meh, I don't pull the hair out, but I wipe my face every now and then. And wash my hands. And rinse out my mouth. And scratch my nails.
So yeah.

I guess that is what I actually do -stroke them not pull. And it is true that one hair can make a difference. My wiry brows are long and thick, and if I pluck one too many it is noticeable. If I didn't pluck I would have a monobrow though.

I love stroking my beautiful eye brows, but I don't pull them.

Used to, but not anymore... I go to a salon and wax my eyebrows now. It's a bit expensive, but worth it as my eyebrows are naturally very bushy.

I only pluck them with tweezers every now and then. It's PAINFUL. And wax, too. I have to get enough hair plucked out as it is, to be tempted to pull anymore.

I used to, though. The hair rather...puzzled me. I would pull at some, and look at the strands.

I think it's impossible to pull out my hair with my own fingers. I tried pulling a hair out of a mole I have, thick and long as it is, resulting in pain in my hand. I can't pull hair from my eyebrows at all! They slip too easily, and the hair is too small to grip. I think I am too weak.

It hurts too much to pull my eyebrow hair out by hand. I pluck them sometimes so I don't get a uni brow.

I hate my eye brows. They are so thick =[ I don't wanna shave/pluck them all the time though. When I shower, I end up scratching them a lot.
