Love,

As we all know, a precisely groomed brow does wonders for a face.  Conversely, a fucked up brow situation can take you from cute to the google images poster child for bad brows.  No one wants to be a web cautionary tale.  A couple of weeks ago, I visited my threading shop for only the second time.  My OG threader was not there.  In her place was another woman.  I trusted this woman, but I shouldn’t have.  She jacked up my brows good, all while telling me that many women who come to see her have faces as hairy as monkeys.  Was this bitch calling me a hairy monkey while botching my brows?!  How very dare you!Once an eyebrow raping is done, it’s temporarily irreversible, so let’s talk damage control.  Resist the urge to go in and “correct” what is already fucked with tweezers.  Best to fill a fucked brow than over-tweeze into oblivion.  Brow powder provides the easiest solution.  Match the color precisely, and use it to fill in sparse areas and camouflage mistakes.  Powder works best for brows that are too thin or light.  Use sparingly or dark powder will rain on your face all day. Pencils can provide more control and precision, but a pencil line can look really fake if done incorrectly.  Think short feathery strokes, not long solid lines.  Approach conservatively, especially when attempting to extend the horizontal reach of the brow.  This is where a lot of folks get into trouble.  

I know someone who at age 14 Naired her brows.  They never really grew back quite right.  If the brow disaster is of epic proportions, I’ve heard Latisse can work to regrow and thicken brows.  Now, I clearly ain’t no doctor.  I suspect this is a sketchy off-label use, so consult with a professional who knows what they are talking about before taking such a drastic measure. Even if a bitch really botched your brows, they are just two tiny strips of hair.  They’ll grow back.  Do what you can to temporarily correct the travesty, and remember most people are too self-absorbed to notice your brows anyway.
