Eyebrows
Posted by Ling on August 8, 2006
In case you haven’t noticed, there are 5 types of eyebrows on girls :-
Type 1 : the perfectly shaped arched eyebrows 
Type 2 : the overplucked eyebrows (which gives a permanently-surprised look) 
Type 3 : the bushy and unruly eyebrows 
Type 4 : no eyebrows (use eyebrow pencil or tattoo to draw it in) 
Type 5 : other e.g. piercing present, etc…. 
My eyebrows??
Well, my left eyebrow has a permanent black scar across it (scar from that car crash in 1998) – Many, many, many people have mistaken this for MAKE-UP!!!!
Yup, and one of them, actually licked her thumb and rubbed it vigorously across my eyebrow to help me get rid of my make-up mistake until I politely said, “that’s my scar from the car crash” and she scuttled away as quickly as possible…
Usually, I have Type 3 brows – thick and unruly. I just can’t be bothered with maintaining the perfect shape by plucking them religiously.
Today, I took my brother for his haircut and at the same time, I got my eyebrows threaded. Threading is the removal of hair with a piece of thread. Pure skill!!
I thought I’d go from Type 3 unruly brows to Type 1 perfect eyebrows…….until I put my glasses on to find….WONKY and OVERPLUCKED eyebrows!!!! Argh!!!!
The Left brow is higher than my Right brow….and I look angry 
because they’ve got that angry arched look….argh!!!!! 
(thought I’d finish with a rhyme…)
In conclusion : Guys are so lucky cos they don’t need to plucky!

guys DO need to maintain their eyebrows just like women do. it’s hard to find a good eyebrow girl. tough tough. especially since i moved out of nyc, i have to do my own, but i just pluck the ones that grow back, not any new hairs. hopefully your hair will grow back asap so that you can have them done the normal way. i’m closer to #1.

lol i had my eyebrows waxed for the first time a few months back… it wasnt painful but she waxed so much off and it looked short and stumpy – it was like two black squares sitting above my eyes
but they grew back so dont worry!!!
