I have huge caterpillars crawling across my forehead, also known as my eyebrows

Alright, I confess.  I do have some seriously neglected-looking eyebrows.  I’ve always carefully manicured the eyebrows beginning at an early age.  Recently I noticed my eyebrows getting smaller and smaller-and thinner and thinner.  Then it hit me.  I am an over plucker.  I swore off “professionals” after the lady at the nail place sculpted my brows into the permanent surprised expression.  After that happened I examined the browline daily and carefully plucked any out of place hairs.  It took a long time for the hairs to grow in correctly and only I knew exactly how my brows should look.  Then it hit me.

It got out of hand.  I went overboard. I almost looked surprised.

So I started a little experiment about 2 weeks ago.  I stopped the madness.  I stopped the plucking, sculpting, manicuring, whatever you want to call it.  I am a little self conscious of what it looks like.  At least I wear glasses most of the time so that will hide it.  And, I did just dye my hair crimson.  If anyone was staring at the brows they are looking at the hair now.

So the plan of action-let those bad boys grow to epic proportions then get a serious brow professional to perfectly sculpt them.  Anyone have any suggestions?

    I hadn’t noticed but I’ll be sure to pay extra attention when I see you tonight!

    That is the funniest thing I’ve heard in awhile. I feel your pain. I haven’t had time to get my eyebrows done in forever…and I am definately not a plucker. Ouch. I can see how it could get out of hand though.

    I have that problem, I am an over plucker to the extreme. I have to pry myself away from the tweezers. I dont know if youve heard about this method or not, but when your eyebrows fully grow out, you should get them threaded. It is wayyy less painful then waxing, quicker than tweezing and it lasts about a month! This website helps explain what it is a little better. http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-eyebrow-threading.htm
    Hope that helps :)
