My eyebrows are really thich, however, the thing is, mine join in the middle:(
I was made fun at for ages, then I plucked them, and they liiked great. But they grew back with a vengeance and now I cant do anything with them
What can I do to have normal Eyebrows?
Is that new Veet hair removal mousse Ok for them?
Could I get that electrolysis on NHS?
(Happy now Kurt?)

Awwwoooooooooooo! Sorry
No, I don't think the NHS teach you how to pronounce words properly mate (tee hee hee)
DO NOT shave them Ever!!!
No but when they are just growing back and they are noticeable, I cant seem to get at them:(
Plucking would probably be the best thing to do, or possibly shaving, if you were careful.
With hair removal cream youd probably end up taking most of your eyebrows off. I know I would anyway.
Most eyebrow removally things are aimed at women, so only cater for people who want nice shapely eyebrows.
Hmm. Dunno really
And what do you think us girls do? You just have to 'get at them'! It gets much easier the more you do it.
What part do you pluck though? Was it bad?
Inbetween! So i dont have a 'monobrow' lol.
It used to be painful cos the skin was sensitive but now it doesnt hurt.
At least one of you people got it :rolleyes: For shame!
dont wax them yourself tho could make a mess of them!
H xx
Lmao. Sorreh, but i really had to laugh then...'tis my evil streak
Yeh, just keep plucking them regularly, and do not shave them
Wouldnt that leave a red mark, or a rash?
Ditto.
You get pinkness for a short while after, but it fades after a while.
I don't think waxed eyebrows would be very effective though...I don't think you could have them waxed without the neatness, which would surely look a bit too feminine..
First go for a very hot shower - washing the face a few times.
haven't checked you age but assume you're old enough to shave - so you should know shaving or doing anything with removing hair is easier after a hot bath/shower.
And don't just get a tweezer and pluck - use one hand to pinch the skin between your eye tight (between your thumb and forefiger) and the other to pluck - it will not hurt then - or very, very little if at all.
Remember eyebrows help frame your face and help people to see your expressions from a distance - very useful for attracting the opposite sex so don't over dow it - I think micheal Keaton's (from Batman) eyebrows are way too over plucked - have a look at a few movie - virtually all the hollywood men plug their eyebrows - although I expect they pay someone to do it.
I'd say the best way to judge how much to take off is by looking at photos rather then just in the mirror.
see below how eyebrows are a key to people being able to read our expressions - bare this in mind when plucking and shaping:

Good advice! Is that you diamond?
I'd love to see the look on their faces when you ask for electrolysis courtesy of the NHS 'cos you have a monobrow.
A friend of mine got appointments for electrolysis on the NHS now I think about it... not for eyebrows though.
But still
your eeeeevil!
Kill joy.
Still, if I was a doctor and that happened I'd probably burst out in fits of laughter, excuse myself, titter a bit more, then make up an excuse to leave the room, before bursting into more fits of uncontrollable laughter, leaving the fragile patient sitting, paranoid and suicidal.
Thank God I suck at science.
No way dude ... I'm staying undercover .. I might be Priminster or something one day .. you think I want pics like that floating around .. they always come back to Haunt ya ... that reminds me whatever happen to those pics of cameron diaz before she was famous ...??
NEVER shave them, they will come back twice as thick. That goes for anywhere on your body if you dont want hair then plucking, waxing, electrolysis etc but dont shave.
Hehe, yes, I think it's best that the world doesn't have to put up with Doctor Dan
The doctor suggested it to her though. I suppose it would be rather amusing to have someone walk in asking for it. Bit of a cheek really..
Tum te tum
so i have become a master of plucking. i really had no choice. the more you do it the easier it becomes.
you most probably won't be able to get electrolysis on the NHS because it is purely cosmetic... maybe unless you are suicidal because of the thought of going out in public with a monobrow... :chin:
get yourself a good pair of tweezers (it makes a difference you know) and a mirror with good lighting, and pluck.
She`s right, although you don`t have to spend a fortune on them. After my other half buggered my expensive ones up using them to fix the remote control :impissed: I got some from Superdrug. They`ve got a slanted tip, they`re really sharp and in about 18 months I`ver never missed a hair with them, even the really short ones. And they were only about 2 quid.
