All About Eyebrows

[Suburban Snob]

Well I noticed growth in only a few weeks, I got the results I wanted in like 3 months maybe? This was about 4-5 years ago and I never had to do it again. I just got the extra strength men's because that is what the magazine said.

^I think it's great to have a thread specially for thickening eyebrows...I hate looking through that mess of a thread to find what I'm looking for

So...you can't buy Rogaine in Denmark, and you can't have it shipped from abroad because the customs will confiscate it. Crap.

 

[á la Balenciaga]

Yep, I used Rogaine. I had overplucked one of my eyebrows (yeah, nice look). My eyebrows are really thick naturally.

wow, so Rogaine will do the trick??
I'm buying it after work!

Genetically my eyebrows are a nice medium, in fact some of my relatives have hair genes that you might say are too strong... my cousin is still rocking the unibrow

i checked amazon. they don't ship it here, but there are some private sellers who would on amazon. do you think that it would end up in customs aswell? i am curious to try it (the rogaine^^)

ryan i think unibrow can make a guy look quite fascinating, but depending on the face

why would rogaine get stopped at customs?
if a friend sends it to you, would that work too...

Because it's illegal to import, obviously. BF tried to purchase it a couple of times. He got busted two times and he got a warning from the Danish tax department (they handle customs).
He said it made his scalp super flaky though, and that he'd much rather shave his head than look like he'd been out in a snow storm

There is a slight chance that it might...you just never know. I'm still considering...

 

[gius]

i have to send something to someone in France...

anyways... back on topic ^^

How to make thick eyebrows look neat

I have thick eyebrows so I don't need to pencil them in and if I put makeup over them, it looks too thick and I don't like how it looks. So usually I just leave them alone but then they can look sloppy. What can I do to make them look all smooth and neat? I've tried clear mascara that didn't do anything. Maybe someone can recommend some good products?

 

[michyed]

Have you tried plucking and trimming? I kind of have the same problem as you, but it all goes away when I trim... Except I'm too lazy!

 

[lemonadensnickrs]

Yea I do trim and pluck them but still can look sloppy! Mine kinda go all over the place.

 

[Filipe]

Maybe you could do your eyebrows at a hair saloon with someone specialized on that ?

 

[The_Ida]

Don't do anything to your eyebrows - don't pluck or trim. There's no reason. An old toothbrush and some hairspray works just fine.

Spray some hairspray on your old (clean! ) toothbrush, then brush your brows into place. If you want to make sure it lasts all day, then spray a tiny bit of hairspray on your finger and dab it onto your brows to keep them in place.

 

[hfhommes]

im a guy, so i usually brush my eyebrows after i brush my hair.

i pluck every so often just to make sure it doesn't look like two Velcro strips sitting on my face.

When I get my eyebrows threaded, afterwards they rub them with a cottonball soaked in witch hazel. It's antiseptic AND makes the hairs softer/less rigid (I have very thick eyebrows also).

I also think trimming makes a HUGE difference. You just have to be consistent with it.

 

[michyed]

^I do the witch hazel thing, before and after using my epilator, before and after plucking my weirdly shaped eyebrows...
