Title: Eyebrows?
Post by: Padma on May 07, 2011, 04:10:06 AM
Does HRT/AA change the growth rate of eyebrows at all? I ask because for the last 20 years, if I don't trim my eyebrows regularly, this is what happens! (And I kid you not, they get longer than this...)

Sorry, YUK,

Time to go to a beauticians and and get then under control. I get my eyebrows plucked and shaped about every 6 weeks. We have a plan what they should look like, and what I want. It's a really pleasant time to be honest. The girls who work on me are very caring, very cute and very into beauty. So now they know where I am coming from they are over me like a rash. I went this afternoon for a wax of my shoulders and back (very light BTW) . I ended up having a manicure as well. Not too sure what to do, really cute but???? :laugh: :laugh: Long pink fingernails.

Oh, don't worry, I keep 'em trimmed :) - I'm not a fan of the drawn-on eyebrow look though, I think I'll just keep them under control and look Bulgarian :).

Ah ha.  So I am not the only one with devil brows.  I have trimmed mine for years.

Wow, those are some brows you got going on there!  If your hairline ever recedes, you should just grow them out and comb them back.  ;)

Well, no HRT regimen will slow down their growth.  You could have them thinned some with electrolysis.  But I don't see what else you can do.  Start with getting a good professional wax.  Then maintain it.  I love going to get mine done.
