The Eyebrow Thread, all you need to know and ask about your arches

[emailme.]

it is very annoying but you have to be patient. i have been growing it for 2 years now. Im not even close to done but one mircale potion that has RAPIDLY made the hair grow back faster is the castor oil. i posted some information about it and where to get it a page or 2 back. It really does wonder it makes your brow grow 3times faster and it thickens it too without looking bushy. Just look back its all in there. Also try to do snejanas technique if you have seen HQs of her pics she grows it fully out and not just around the shape. Imagine an invisible straight line between your brow and your eye. above that line is where haircan grow and bellow that theyre not allowed. Make excemption around the base for obvious reasons. and defintely do not touch the top of your brow as many as it looks.


P.s. THROW your magnifying mirrors. Those are murderers! You get paranoid and so perfectionist. You focus on it so much that you dont even realize how it looks with everything else in your face.

^^^i hate tedious things im so impatient

thats a very good point about magnifying mirrors you end up obsessing on the brow instead of how it relates to your whole face.

i'll keep updated if the other one ever catches up

so did you read about the castor oil? use it. it works. plus it keeps you involved with your brows without anything to do with plucking.

 

[Elegance.Is.Refusal.]

i'll read up on it

but where would i get caster oil? a health food store?

 

[emailme.]

oh its there in the posts.

I used to use castor oil my hair. I got it from wild oats market. If you dont have that most organic food stores carry it

 

[emailme.]

yeah i got mine from walmart. its in the pharmacy section. its unpresrcibed so you can just buy it. mine was $3CD with tax already included.

 

[emailme.]

it was labelled as a lazative stimulant. and taken for constipation. but its used for SO many DIFFERENT things. like eyebrows. how many things can you use in both your brows and bowel movements?

 

[Elegance.Is.Refusal.]

^^^ next time i pop into town i'll try and find some. oh dear looking in the laxatives section but i shall do it for my brows they need it!

i'll check out our eqivalent of those stores here in England shouldnt be too hard to find hopefully

 

[emailme.]

no it shouldnt be. so did you read my previous posts about it?

 

[Elegance.Is.Refusal.]

yeah sounds interesting that oil can make your hair thicker. if its cheap enough theres no harm in giving it a go. the only problem is remembering to do it im useless at that

 

[emailme.]

remember for something to become a habit you must do it 21 times. oh and remember also the caution in using it. Only use it before you go to sleep. 30mins max. before you go to sleep because you might lose some brow. And dont put on too much. And as it does stimulate the growth then the longer do fall out faster but its because theyre not strong to begin and eventually would have fallen.

how to bleech ur eyebrowns without them getting too light? my hair stylist thinks its better to have slightly darker browns than ur hair..and now my hair is kind of golden honey..my eyebrows brown..i wanted them a bit lighter..but all the stylists i know tell me not to color my eyebrows...anythoughts? how do i lighten them just a little?

 

[emailme.]

that ive always wondered myself. i always thought that you cant use bleach peroxide you use for you hair as it may be too strong and just kill your hair off. im sorry i cant help you though im sure someone here will have some knowledge about it.

There are already posts or even a tread about bleaching eyebrows.

i got my eyebrows done at Damone Roberts in beverly hills a couple weeks ago... i highly recommend them for a natural look... nothing is worse than a guy with overplucked eyebrows! (brandon davis)

 

[kisa]

^ Whoa your eyebrows are beautiful!

 

[emailme.]

yours do look done but natural. i think you shoul grow it out and not have the shape so exact but definitely still distinct. check snejana onopkas. and have a few growing on the bottom. theres a rule to how to make it unruly without looking too unruly.

eyebrow advice?

I've spent years overplucking and now being afraid to grow my brows out. But finally I have and I'm going to get them shaped.

This is what my brows used to look like (lol it's a funny photo I don't always look THAT serious!) . Any advice on what shape to have them now.

Thanks

Wow thank god I have super eyebrows.. I wanted to grow them out but stupidly cut them all close to the skin (not shaved) instead of growing out the ones already there..lol

But yeah as I said my eyebrows are psycho so it's only been two weeks but they're 3/4 back. I have growth rate of about an inch a day..haha.

I also use castor oil.. but I didn' tknow that you can only use it before you sleep 30 mins max! I just rub it in whenever I remember to o.O!! And I never wipe it off. But I don't think any hair has fallen off.

Maybe I'll post a pic of my bushy eyebrows once they're finished growing to their maximum potential (already tempted and plucked a few strays yesterday )
