I think I have an ingrown eyebrow hair! WTF?

[Shell Beau]

So I pluck my eyebrows. I was having a hard time getting this one stubborn hair. I thought I got it, but today my lid is a little red and swollen. I put a hot rag against it hoping to draw the hair out. Not sure if it worked. Now I have a blob of Neosporin on my eyelid.

So attractive I tell ya!

1. Stop pickin' at it!

Stop touchin' it!

:rofl::rofl:

Wish I had a dollar for every time I said that. :P

:hi:

[Shell Beau]

2. I am actually scared to pick at it. The eye is oh so delicate and oh so

close to my brain!!!!!

3. The easy longterm solution is to quit plucking your brows

I mean really, it looks awful even when it's done without incident.

4. Well God blessed me with lots of hair. That includes my eyebrows!

I must pluck. Unless I want to look like...

5. it is a good thing I saw this thread...

I was about to post a "Shell Beau is so good looking she should have a thread dedicated to her pics" thread...

Now, I am not so sure...


:P

[Shell Beau]

6. Yep! Now imagine good looking Shell with a glob of

Neosporin on her swollen eye! If I can pull that off, then I really am good looking!! :P

[Pierre.Suave]

9. I am trying to imagine it

and I cant, I think we may need a pic...

:P

[Shell Beau]

10. Oh yeah, THAT AINT gonna happen!

I laughed at my own self when I saw it!!

7. FYI, you "pluck" a chicken...

You "tweeze" your eyebrows. :)

[Shell Beau]

8. I don't pluck a chicken!!

Pretend my eyebrow is a feather. And now pretend my face is the chicken. See? I plucked my eyebrows!! :P

11. One of the only things I know about cosmotology.

One of my good buds is a hairdresser, and I remember him telling me that when he was going through school. Don't know why it stuck in my memory, just sounded funny I 'spose.

Myself, I don't pluck or tweeze my unibrow... I Vise-Grip 'em. :rofl:

[Shell Beau]

14. Haha!! Send me one!

:P I am not at uni-brow status yet, but these ingrowns keep up, you never know!

My hair can get crazy. I love having thick hair, but that also means unruly eyebrows!

[bluesbassman]

15. Uni-brows are sexxxxy!

:spray:

12. if you can find a place that does eyebrow heading you might want to check it out.

i get mine threaded, they come out much better and no ingrown hairs ever plus it doesn't hurt.

[Shell Beau]

13. I have seen that. It looks cool.

I may check into that. I hate keeping up my brows, but it has to be done.


This is my first eyebrow ingrown hair. Kinda freaked me out. I automatically start thinking infection near brain! I can be so hypochondriac-ish at times. (yeah that isn't a word I know)
