Do women ''have to'' pluck their eyebrows?

Post Reply New Topic

I had huge, manly eyebrows as a kid. After someone asked me "Are you a boy or a girl?" I developed sort of an issue with them and plucked the hell out of them. I now wish that I hadn't cuz parts of them won't grow back I wish I had my bigger eyebrows still.

I did the same kind of thing plus my right eyebrow is pulling towards my ear because my Spock muscle is stronger on that side. I got something called Billion Dollar Brows online that actually grows hair where it hasn't grown in years and am slowly relocating my eyebrow - making them a little thicker, too. I don't like how they got so thin.

I've plucked them a little bit, and when I've had them waxed, they were just removing stray hairs, including ones that were starting to become a unibrow. Now, my hairstylist does sugaring which is an old technique for hair removal, and it doesn't hurt as much as waxing does.

I mostly just tweeze the stray hairs underneath my eyebrows. Most of my family has absurdly narrow eyebrows so I'm being careful to make sure my eyebrows don't end up like that.

I don't think anyone should feel like they have to tweeze their eyebrows, though.

I don't bother with it, my sister waxed them before though......cause she works at a place they do hair and I guess that is one of the things they also do. I think its really up to the individual.

I'm not that bothered and haven't plucked or shaped my eyebrows before, they are a little long but only very fine so they aren't too much of a problem.
Have you ever noticed then when you focus on your eyebrows in the mirror they seem to become obvious and the only thing that you can notice?

I pluck a couple strays once in a while but that's it if anyone cares to know that.

I've never plucked my eyebrows. I like thick, masculine eyebrows on me. They enhance my personality.

mine are really big and fat and black which looks awful on my pale skin so I pluck them all the time. They naturally grow in a really weird shape, like a triangle. It just looks terrible.

I seriously doubt that if you fit in depends on the shape of your eyebrows. I didn't start plucking mine until I was 35. Didn't notice any increased popularity after that. My mom is 67 and has thick eyebrows, and has never plucked them. She's a social butterfly and has many friends and activities. Oh and she doesn't shave either, and guys in swimming pools seem to chat with her quite often. Sexiness is mostly about confidence and attitude. (I suppose other women don't like you being sexy or have confidence. That might be why I don't have many women friends.)

I just pluck a bit of stray hair and add a tiny bit of shape.. Nothing more.. it hurts to much!

As far as I understand it's only a social requirement to pluck / wax eyebrows if you are in a highly professional position where you can't get away looking too sloppy (e.g. lawyer). Otherwise I don't think it matter that much.

In all honesty it depends what your eyebrows look like. I have really hairy, big eyebrows if I don't get them waxed. I get them waxed every two weeks. I also get my upper lip waxed. It probably depends where you live, what you do for a living and what your age group is when it comes to what society thinks. Although I say, do what makes you feel comfortable. You don't have to do anything to your body if you don't want to. Who cares what other people think, right?

Hi! I'm a man! Just incase male opinion's matter in this part of the forums. Plucking a unibrow (you called it a "mono" never heard that before...) is a general rule of thumb to look presentable to men and women. But if your brow is thick it dosen't matter, it mostly depends on the guy (or girl) you are trying to attract. Most guys won't care about the fuzzies if you have a facial feature that is beautiful such as eyes (even as an aspie, the first thing I notice is a girl's eyes. If a girl's eyes make me nervious it's because they are so beautiful I begin to feel something along the lines of "I don't deserve to look into such a beautiful soul. Corny as that sounds.) Or even a smile is enough to melt a nice guys heart! The important thing is "Are you happy with the way you look?" Does it please YOU? When you can say yes without a doubt you'll be happy in life. Trust me on that!

Agreed that it's totally a matter of choice.

I personally like my eyebrows to look neat. However, I get mine threaded rather than plucked, which is really popular in the UK: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIeHYNt-rl4

They do if they want to be allowed in my house.
