Fuck this white eyebrow shit. I refuse to morph into John Howard.

Lol, the only place I get greys. I had to stop plucking them, so now they're dyed!

[โ€“] Catfish@aussie.zone 5 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I have dye, but there is also a texture and length difference issue. The plucking shall continue! To a certain point....

Next time you're at the hairdresser ask them to trim them. They do it with the clippers.

At my my barber shop (all Iraqis and Lebanese) when I get my bread trimmed I always forget about the eyebrows.

Thankfully the boys always remind me. I asked one if they're really bushy, his answer 'Brother, I'm Arab, if I tell you it's hairy...believe me'

Bless them

My husband wasn't aware that he needed his trimmed until the hairdresser said to him once "you want eyebrows done too?" Now he's addicted.

So like 15 years ago. Very helpful.

With you on that. Saved a fortune.

Trick for me is have a few glasses of wine before cutting.. all about the unique cut. Looks great until I wake up the next day.

$500 haircuts is unsustainable!

Sometimes there is drunken fringe wonkiness, just use a mussy style until it sorts itself out

Oh you cut your own hair? Brave.

I do this myself. Once or twice I've ended up with no eyebrows, which isn't the best look for me.

Ha ha ha. That's why you pay a professional to do it.

Brush them up and nail scissors!

trim, not pluck, and you can get wax pencils to tame them

mine are so blonde/white you can't see my eyebrows , I have to pencil and use mascara

[โ€“] Catfish@aussie.zone 4 points 1 day ago

Mascara is the secondary solution
