The whole plucking of eyebrows thing...

[Zeremonie]

I added the poll for you given your options above.

My answer: I do not pluck my eyebrows because they're naturally already quite thin, but in talking to girlfriends it seems that most women do, and I'm just weird that way. My eyebrows have never been plucked.

I just trim with scissors, they showed how to do it on WNTW. Although I still hate my eyebrows. I would love to get them waxed. If only I wasn't so self-conscious about going in a salon..

If I didn't pluck mine I would only have one which would eventually take over my entire face.

 

[spooger]

i dont pluck anything....but i do use an electric clipper with just the right length comb to keep them trimmed.....

just part of the routine maintenance if you're going to play "civilised"....

I don't pluck my eyebrows, but have thought about it . I've asked friends if I should, but they tell me my eyebrows look just fine the way they are.

 

[justsimon]

I like mine the way they are, but I do pluck the occasional stray hair.

 

[BlueStreaker]

No, and never will. I like them just fine.

Apparently Puerto Rican men get their eyebrows plucked? Not sure, but my uncle Puerto Rican and that's apparently something they do.

I think that's what he said, at least.

If I didn't, well you get it...lol

I pluck them but only to prevent the unibrow

 

[Swellegant]

I don't pluck my eyebrows to shape them, just to pull a long curly hair when it starts spuming away from my face like that of a cairn terrier. When I do drag, I shave-shape them. It grows right back, too; plucking not only hurts, but takes longer to come back in.

But I do know for a fact that both straight and gay guys do pluck their eyebrows. And why shouldn't they? So long as they don't go overboard.

 

[perkifactor]

okay, so i have a unibrow, and i shape them...plucking all the way...i'm not brave enough to wax, though.

 

[psychobandit]

c) I don’t pluck my eyebrows, because I’m not THAT gay.

as the "Gay-o-meter" from the other post clearly states!

Remember Jesse Metcalf in Oprah? I thought the whole world was focusing on his weird tiny thin eyebrows instead of what he was saying. I thought it was sad.

 

[josher]

I trim, but I know as many straight guys who pluck, as I do gay guys.

 

[Guilty Pleasures]

My friend, who's a make-up artist, always says this to me: "Honey, you don't pluck eyebrows... You pluck chicken, but you tweeze eyebrows."

 

[MidnightPrism]

I just tweeze mine enough to keep from having a unibrow

 

[nwdavis]

I do not pluck. I use one of the little battery powered trimmers to keep the little bastards in line.

 

[looseliam]

I have them waxed every other month or so. I'll pluck in between if a hair goes astray.

 

[gmoney]

I get mine trimmed when I get my haircut and pluck the wild ones in between. If not, I'd look like this

 

[dunno260]

I pluck/tweeze just to stop the unibrow. Otherwise I leave them alone.
