Eyebrows

[_sophie_]

I pluck my eyebrows and my mum said they were too thin so I said ok fine I will grow them back as I hate thin eyebrows and do like mine quite thick! But she said that eyebrow hairs don't grow back and once you've plucked them, thats it. Is this true? How can you keep your eyebrows thick but still neat at the same time and get the best shape for you? Thanks

They will grow back - they give up if you pluck them constantly for years though

Oh, also - shape..
inner end of brow should line up with edge of nose, for outer end follow a line from edge of nose to outer eye corner.This gives you a natural amount of eyebrow for your face
Only remove hairs from the ends/underneath, not from top - use a toothbrush to comb hairs straight upwards - this will let you see where the strays are. Then run the brush aong the top of brow afterwards to tidy.

well once I accidently sipped my whole eyebrow off on a waxing strip (do not ask) and it grew back. I also had a few sad times when beauticians waxed my eyebrows too thin and Ive had to wait for them to grow. It may take upto2, even three months, you just have to wait and bear with the horrible grow back stage.

I have heard of people who've plucked their brows at quite a young age and they didn't grow back - especially if they overplucked towards the bridge of the nose. My mum did it at about 14 and they've always been really thin.

If they didn't grow back you wouldn't have to pluck them would you? But yes they can stop growing back after years of plucking. Totally agree with ann's suggestion for shaping I use this approach and am pretty pleased with my thick-ish eyebrows. Also; if you're really uncertain could you get them done at a salon and get them to show you the correct technique?

The quickest and easiest way to keep eyebrows neat is to get them threaded. I had mine done yesterday and they look great. Only cost 4 quid as well.
