Question about eyebrow plucking

Girls of IIN, please teach me your ways

I'm a guy and I have been plucking out the stray hairs between my eyebrows for probably 4 years now. I have 7 of them and I think they have grown quite attached to me.
I wanna know how much longer I have to pluck them before they decide that I don't want them in my life anymore? I just want them to get the pluck away from me.

Is plucking the best way? I don't want them to start to grow on me :(

    It depends. Everyone is different and some continue to grow hair there until old age. Mine slowed down when I was 18. Waxing is probably better as it lasts longer while plucking is a bi-monthly thing.

      Yes, and over a period of time the hair can become finer and sparser from waxing due to possible damage to the hair follicle. Unlike tweezing where one pulls the offending hair out in the direction of hair growth when superfluous hair is waxed it's pulled out against the direction of the hair.

      I've had laser hair removal done on my lower legs and it's quite possibly one of the best beauty investments I've ever made!

    If you've only got a few stray hairs it might actually serve you better to get electrolysis instead of laser hair removal, because laser hair removal requires multiple treatments over a period of several months. Laser hair removal is a better choice for large areas.

    My brother almost has a unibrow and I want to pluck those hairs so bad! SO it's good that you recognize that yourself.

    Laser them off. They did mine for free after I paid to get my pubes touched up.

    I pulled mine out with tweezers many years ago and they haven't dared come back.

    You need to be brave and give them your best 'fierce' look as you do it.

    Plucking isn't permanent. If you want permanent, go for epil sonic or elecrolysis. It's expensive but it's permanent.

    Laser is for hair REDUCTION, not removal. It just grows back less - that may be enough for your needs, Idk. It's cheaper, comparatively. I personally wouldn't want lasers that close to my eyes, though.

      How is that not the same thing?

      And you say first off, but then offer absolutely nothing else. That's not first off. That's just a snooty statement.

      I could understand that on a stupid post but this guys asking a reasonable question.

              I notice she has nothing to actually say, now she's been called out. Just passive aggression and irrelevance. Figures.

        A good quality eyebrow pencil that's as close to my natural color as possible and preferably with a brush on the other end. Lancome make excellent eyebrow pencils.
