LOL. I thread my own eye brows, have been doing it since I was 17, and it's not that bad.

I pluck mine...every once in a while, maybe once or twice a year, I get them waxed or threaded - I just keep up with it with the plucking in between.

Due to the curse of the uni-brow, I have gotten mine waxed since my college days. I hate to pluck them and never had time.
OK, I am slow. What do you mean by threading your eyebrows???

Threading is a hair removal technique. Just google "what is threading" to get specifics on how it works. I actually like it better than waxing, but the gal that used to do it my salon, doesn't work there anymore. Seems to depend on where you live, as to how available it is near you, bigger cities have more options. It's pretty commonplace in Europe, that's where I got hooked on it when we were living there.

It's a technique ( I believe it started in India) used to remove hair using a thread. In India, they acutally have a special thread. I have been using quilting thread (it's just like regular thread, but a bit stronger). Here's a youtube video that shows it:

I pluck & wax!

I pluck almost daily (after showers) but every once in a while I'll get waxed because of all the fine blonde hairs that I can't see!
