how often do you pluck your brows?

I do not know about anyone else, but I have to pluck my eye brows EVERY DAY!! There is always new growth, and if I let a day or two go its noticeable. I have waxed, but it just comes back so fast its not really worth going. Its so annoying!

How often do you need to pluck??

Re: how often do you pluck your brows?

  • You're not alone! I don't know if it's every single day, but I definitely check them every day and pluck as needed; so it might be every couple days. I don't have the patience to let them grow in enough to be waxed, and my skin breaks out when I wax so I avoid doing that. I know some girls may be fine to let the little hairs grow in before waxing/plucking, but I just can't.

  • I wax every 3/4 weeks and do minimal plucking between. I only pluck the dark ones and ones that are starting to change the shape unless my eyeshadow is starting to get stuck on the little fines ones...then I'll deal with those too. I try to wait until I can get them waxed though. I feel like waxing keeps the shape way better than my plucking.

  • I'm the same way.  If I see an unwanted hair growing in, it has to go.  My hair grows fast in general and I'd rather do the quick maintenance myself instead of waiting until it looks really bad and paying extra.  I don't necessarily pluck every day but just when I notice any new growth.  Sometimes it's daily, sometimes it's every few days.

  • I rarely ever pluck my brows.  I plucked them so much starting at age 13 that they barely even grow now.  I occasionally pluck a few stray hairs, maybe once every two or three months.  I get them waxed maybe once a year.

    This is me exactly as well. My brows are fairly sparse anyway so plucking often would be a problem. 

  • I got my eyebrows waxed so often as a kid (started it in 4th grade!) that growth is very slow. I get waxed about once every 3 months (unless I have a big event coming up) and I pluck whenever I feel I need to in between.
  • I too have to pluck nearly every other day or every 3 days. I have jet black hair and a strong German/Irish background so yeah... the hair tends to grow fast and thick :-/

  • Get electrolysis!   I had mine done and it's fantastic.
  • maybe once a week

  • Rarely.  I used to wax and once I did it regularly the hair just grew back slower and slower.

    Now since I'm on retin-a, I get them threaded.  I would say I go about every 6-8 weeks.

    This.

  • Not nearly often enough, and I keep tweezers in my purse so I really have no excuse.  I probably should do it at least weekly but I'm lazy.

  •  I get mine waxed every 3-4 weeks.  I only pluck the out of control random hairs in-between waxes, otherwise, my aesthesican yells at me :-)

  • I don't pluck that often, I just get the ones that grow under my natural arch.  I have very little body hair and the little I have grows slowly.
