Critical question for the languish crowd.

I'd seperate this in a male / female section, but how many women actually post here, and half of them are probably men anyway.

My hair stylist takes care of this issue for me, and it doesn't involve wax.

As for the question, I eliminate wild hairs. I don't want to look like:

My stylist needs to go to wax. Almost every time I get a comment, "It is too bad you can't get some of that eyebrow hair growth on your head."

I grasp and pluck the monsters like Boner.

On a related note, there's a kiosk at the local mall that does eyebrow threading.  You sit in a chair while a chick runs dental floss through your brows.  Anyone know what the fuck that's all about?

From the clientele it appears to be a Hispanic thing.

I pluck the middle or i get a partial uni-brow.

As for threading, Yi, around here it's a indian thing.

supposedly it plucks quicker and more at a time so is hurts less. Think waxing, but without ripping off a layer of skin too.

I shave between my eyebrows, so as to avoid Der Unibroue.  I also trim my eyebrows down using a beard trimmer (but not completely off, of course) generally when cutting my hair.

I need not do anything to my eyebrows.

Every so often I shave my armpits.  Clean as a WHISTLE.

My eyebrows look just fine naturally. I do occasionally pluck a nose hair that's gone too far.

There's no need to go through that kind of discomfiture with your nose.  They have trimmers for that.  Runs on a single AA.

Plucking lasts longer, yes?  Also, the pain reminds me that it's morally wrong to have nasal hair.

Mine are near-invisible anyhow, but I get a professional to wax them. Sorts out the stragglers like tweezers never could.

I get my eyelashes dyed too. I tried it on my eyebrows once, but it made everyone I know stare at my forehead for a month.

Just for a laugh, Google Scouse brow.

Wax four times a year.  Shave the ends of the eyebrows to avoid Scottish Tufts on a fairly regular basis.  Ear hair is also targeted.  Earrings have a nasty way of drawing attention to ear-hair. :P
