I used to wax but then they got too thin.

Then I did Electrolyses for 4 years but I barely saw any results.

Now I tweeze and use a serum which is supposed to minimize the hair growth. I don’t have much hair just under my brow.

I didn't know eyebrows needed special care. I just let them do what they want.

Word to the wise: Keep them as close to your natural shape as possible, and err on the side of leaving them too thick! Skinny, sparse eyebrows make you look 10 years older.

Back in the 70's and 80's, thinner brows were "in". Well guess what? When you hit menopause, not only do your brows turn gray (nearly invisible unless you dye them), but you have fewer active hair follicles in general.

This means that you are depending on filling in your brows for the rest of your life, unless you do some kind of semi permanant treatment like microblading, or having to fill in your brows every time you want to leave the house.

Of course, because nature is cruel like that, the monobrow in the middle is still growing like a weed patch. wondering

I voted tweeze, but really I mostly leave them alone and just tweeze an occasional stray hair.

I used to wax. Then covid hit and I wasn't able to. Then I finally made an appointment again and it snowed me out. So I haven't done it in over a year... But I wax just to keep clean and keep the shape.

Oh, wow. I am tweezing for 25 years, always a bit too much. I decided to go for electrolysis now. But then it becomes a hassle..plus may not work so well. And it's costly. Not sure how to continue...

I did electrolysis in high school and haven't touched my eyebrows since.
Fuschia its very interesting that you did it for 4 years and didn't see results, unless you had super bushy brows. Electrolysis is very effective and pretty much permanent. I've tweezed out a few tiny hairs over the years but that's about it.
If you want a great BP recommendation then PM me, it really wasn't too painful, way less than laser.

I tried a few different people. My eyebrows are definitely not bushy. It got a bit better but definitely not worth the pain and time and money it took and costed.... It doesn’t work in everyone just saying.

Laser works on me but it’s too delicate to do there. I laser on my whole body besides my face with nice (if a bit slower than usual) results.
