Yep I do that.
I started plucking my eyebrows about 5 years ago (although there was never anything wrong with them) and I ended up overplucking to the extent that I had very few hairs. For 2 years I had to draw most of them on.. anyway since then, they've grown back but they seem alot darker than they were before and I tug on them so that I've got less hair and my eyebrows look lighter. Sometimes I'll even pluck out individual hairs which seem darker.

I have a problem w/plucking my eyebrows! They were beautiful but I have somehow convinced myself that I could make them look better by plucking them  . This only leads to a major tweaking job and I end up having none left. So I go go back and forth. They are starting to grow in now and I am praying to God that I will leave them alone and that they will grow back full like they used to be. Blah Blah! I have lots of issues though ( don't we all) I pick my face pretty darn bad and sometimes have hair pulling (trichotillamania) tendencies. OK! so to like clarify what I mean by hair pulling. Not like ripping a gob out of my head or anything like that. But it is more like, as I run my hands through my hair by my fingertips, I get to the ends and the last hair that remains in my fingertips I pull out. This doesn't happen always. It comes and goes. And I am also OCD, which by the way if any of you don't know this already, tricotillamania and skin picking, is almost always assosciated with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I know sooooooo much about all of this. Maybe to much. In my experience I have learned that it is not healthy to entertain the issues and problems I have. Otherwise I just get so self centered that I can't look outside of the box. I can only look @ me, and it being all about me and how much I suck. It really isn't all about me though. I don't want to live like that So I Choose to not focus too much on my issues and my problems. I just do the best that I can (Lots of praying) Then from there work toward a solution or goal to better myself in my struggles. It is a process for some of us. So I try to Live in the Moment and CHOOSE to look at the great things about myself that God made in me. I'd like to ad that we are human and all of us have different kinds of problems, and things that we don't like about ourselves. So be encouraged that you are not alone in your struggles. Keep on! Blessings,  |

I also pluck my eyebrows to much. I like doing it. I have trichotillomania tendencies I think .... I am fascinated by roots and the different sizes and forms they can have (at least when it comes to my hair, I don't know about other people's roots). Especially my eyebrows have giant roots, often with a strange little black tip.... . I feel I sound obsessed.
I often try to pluck as a replacement habit for picking. It works moderately well. It actually reduces anxiety for me and I can go into a trance just like for picking. But I still pick, so maybe I am just adding another problem to my endless list, not really replacing one.

Yes, I am a quarter Italian with potentially lots of body hair.
I tweeze, pluck, wax, shave, bleach and cut everything, down to the hair on my arms and my big toes.
BDD anyone?
;D

have a bit of a trich tendency with it too, but as far as eyebrows go usually it hurts and damnit I wish I just didn't have to do them.

yep i'll use my fingers to pull my eyebrows.
I'm like you hoppe, I'm also fascinated by the roots of my hair etc. What is that black stuff btw? I've always been curious. I like it when I get a massive glob at the end of the hair at the root. don't know why though. I also like picking the hairs which are especially dark, i think they're newer hairs anyway, because they've usually got massive roots. weird lol.

Blondie, I actually don't know what the black stuff at the end of the root is. I cannot really figure out why I have it on some hairs and not on others. I think it has something to do with the phase they are in, growing or resting. I read something like that once. But I don't really know. What I do know is that I get really excited everytime I get one of those, which always is accompanied by a really big root. Most of my eyebrow hairs are like that. And those on my chin too. I have thought about getting the hairs on my chin permanently removed, but honestly, it gives me so much satisfaction to pluck them, I cannot make myself get them removed permanently . I constantly feel my chin to see if there are any good new ones to pluck. I consider it an obsession, but actually one that I can live with - as opposed to my skin obsession, which I cannot live with anymore. hoppe |

I have had eyebrow trouble before, i used to want them to look perfect and i used to have to get every little hair out which made me over pluck them and made them look really thin and a horrible shape and because i used to keep trying to get the tinest of hair out it sometimes bleed a little cause little scabs to form underneath and then i had to take ages covering them up and penciling them in, now i have let them grow back and will try not to make that mistake again.
