How do i reduce eye brow plucking pain?

Question

How do i reduce eye brow plucking pain? I've tried to numb my brows with ice but i doesn't work.

Have any tricks? Please help?

Answer 1

if you pluck them from an angle, or more horizontal to your face. It hurts less then vertical. After time though, it hardly hurts.

Answer 2

just wax, its not as painful as plucking and its faster :3

Answer 3

The more you pluck the less it hurts. after about a week it doesn't hurt any more...good luck!!

Answer 4

Have them waxed... they may end up looking better too!

Answer 5

Pluck as close to the root as you can. Plucking by the tip of the hair makes you feel it more.  

Answer 6

get them waxed at a salon, we can really shape ur brows beautifully, and it hurts much much much less...forget what youve heard !! if not ermmmm:

soak cotten pads in hot water and gently press on ur brows as the heat will open the pores and allow the hairs to come out easier...hence less pain.

grab the hair as close to the skin as possible

pluck in the direction the hair grows to allow the root to come out instead of just blunting it.

with one hand really keep the skin taught and pluck the hair firmly and quickly.

apply a soothing unfragranced cream to the area after plucking.

i still would recommend getting them waxed sweetie ! xx

Answer 7

put lotion on the areas you wanna pluck, dont rub it in...just dab it over the hairs.

Answer 8

Get them while they are short.

Or pluck the eyebrows with tweezers at the root of the hair.

For me, it hurt at first, but overtime it doesn't hurt at all!

If you hold skin tight it also reduces pain (:

Answer 9

Simple.  Don't pluck your eyebrows.

Answer 10

Pluck after showering when your pores are open.  Use an ice cube in a wash cloth and press it quickly to your skin when you've plucked.

Answer 11

Oh I was going to say the ice trick but I gotten my brows plucked for the first time by a friend and I hated it and then she let me do it myself yesterday and it wasn't soo bad I don't have a pair of tweezers but I'm sure going to buy some

Answer 12

no not really....you will just get used to it after so long....nothing to do about that pain...thats what us woman have to deal with....have you tryed waxing them? its pain, but its over with in seconds...

Answer 13

i do one thing. wet a washcloth with hot water and hold it over your eyebrows for a few minutes right before you pluck them. it opens the pores and hair can be plucked more easily that way. and if you're really sensitive to pain take 1 advil about 30 minutes before plucking. i wouldn't recommend that as much because that adds up to a lot of medication for eyebrow plucking, which can't be that good for you. i hope i helped.

Answer 14

When I was a teenager, my mother helped me pluck my eyebrows.  She had me dab some valeline on my eyebrows first.  Then, she plucked some hairs and then had me try.  I couldn't believe it.  It didn't hurt at all.

If you don't want to use vaseline because of the ingredients, I'm sure you can find something very much like it.  

Answer 15

use an ice cube before and after to numb ur skin n brows. after, use an after pluck gel. u can find them @ sallyy beauty or drugstores. they will soothe skin and help hair from growing back quickly. good luckerz!!!!
