Morning catherine. don't supose your about yet thow,i'v been up since 4-00clock. this is why i dislike nights....sleeping patern up side down. eyebrows...i use to have mine tinted and waxed. but i do mine myself now,it's alot cheaper. gwyn xxxxx

Gotcha Ghosty Give me those tweezers someone! Never plucked my eyebrows. They are like me ..... perfect in every way! Shame about the teeth! Daughters both do all that stuff. Going to let them practice on me next Saturday at college. Having the eyebrows and eyelashes tinted. Probably afterwards can get a part in a Xmas panto! Aileen xxx

Tweezers - OH does it for me - ouch

Funnily enough I saw some hints in a magazine tonight, says if you find plucking painful take a paracetamol or ibuprofen 15 mins before plucking as well as using the Bonjela tip.

If you soak a cotton wool pad in warm water then hold it on the eyebroe for a few seconds before plucking, it opens the pores and doesn't hurt so much. Waxing!!! ouch!!!, only time i tried it i was red for a fornight after!!!!

have a lovely evening xx

If you do you own put bonjela on your eyebrows first numbs them or just have them wax like I do no id doesn't hurt as I fall to sleep whilst she is doing them...

PS I do my arm pits too catherine but got a bit laazy and had to do a quick trim job this week lol! caz xxxxxx

Party Friday at a place called Stamford House. Hows G settling back in gona take a while. Has he got some time off before going back to day job or what? I hope so. Needs 6 months the lad. catherine xx

Never had to worry as havent got much! sounds very painful! Have a brill night! Where is your party catherine? Caz xxxxxx

shave em orffff

might just have a tidy up few stray ones-think will go for the wax though-tweezers sound a bit hardcore. cheers guys. don't like the idea of threading. catherine xx

I have mine threaded every 3-4 weeks, its a bit painful but quick. Sue

lol........So pleased to see this thread, as I was just going to put one up. It was going to say............. OUCH..............I had my brows waxed for the very first time today........and im still a little red........lol Suzy :o) x

Wax

plucking or threading.

I have just one question - why ? You only paint them back on again...

Waxing everytime, they still pluck a few odd hairs but I would rather the wax part.

You know liz that is one thing I have never done is shave my legs. I have very fine blonde hairs and my legs thankgod are very smooth. You see I can't be bothered with all these things. Just always been as natural as possible. But I do do me arm pits though- confession with OH's razor.lol. catherine xx

I am like Sue - Suffolk one - plucked so many out years ago they don't grow any more except an odd one now and again so only half the outside ends if you understand me. I now have leg hair plucking sessions too, altho I use cream sometimes or a razor if I am in a hurry, but have lots of 'bald spots' on my legs now so hope in time to get rid of all of the lower leg hair. Only hurts momentarily and helps if you pull the skin taut around hair to be plucked, this applies to eyebrows too.
