Shaving My Eyebrows

[IgnatiusofLoyola]

But seriously, it might be a lot of fun. I know of a girl who keeps her brows shaved because she really likes the look of penciled brows, and she can pick a different style and color whenever she wants.  :smile2:

 

There have been times in the past when the fashion for women was to remove their eyebrows, and then pencil them back in. Personally, I think it looks strange, but tastes differ.

 

Shaving or plucking off all your eyebrows also seems like a lot of work. But then, I have always preferred a more "natural look" anyway. The big  exception for my preference for "the natural look" is my hair, which started going seriously gray at age 25. Although gray hair looks great on some young women, I was not one of them. So I started coloring my hair at a young age, and continue to do it. The day will come when I am ready to have completely gray hair, but that day has not arrived. However, I have never done anything wild with my hair color. I color my hair the same blonde shade I was as a child--that is, slightly lighter than my hair color in my early 20's. Since I have very light skin and blue eyes, having blonde hair matches my skin tone and looks natural. I decided that if I was going to go to the trouble and expense of coloring my hair, I wasn't going to color it "mousy brown."

 

Back to eyebrows. I read fairly recently that if you pluck your eyebrows enough, the plucked hairs don't grow back, so be careful.

 

I should have realized that was the case before I read the article. In my teens I started plucking my eyebrows because I had something of a "unibrow." Not serious, but bad enough that I plucked that part of my eyebrows reguarly. After I read the article about plucked eyebrow hair not growing back, I suddenly realized that I have not had any hair between my eyebrows for YEARS! I had totally forgotten about my former mild "unibrow."

 

Even with that "proof" I'm still not sure about the article, because why would eyebrow hair not grow back, when leg hair etc. certainly grows back? I don't have the article anymore, but google the question if you're interested. Although the article didn't have me absolutely convinced, I still have been more careful in plucking my eyebrows since I read the article. I wouldn't mind if some of my eyebrow hair never grew back, but I also make mistakes sometimes. Also, fashions change, and what might be fashionable for eyebrows now could be totally different in five years. Or tomorrow, for that matter.

 

My "factoid" for today!
