These were my eyebrows in jr high! My mom gave me this photo the other day and I had to ask her what she was thinking?? I looked like I took a Sharpie and drew 2 straight lines. And I think Charlie is going to have my eyebrows! Ha!
Aw, you were cute! Sharpie brows and all! I have thick eye brows and didn't learn the wonders of plucking until I was like 16, looked like caterpillars took up residence on my face.

Hahahahaha, lucky, that is great! I think you're young here, though, so people are more gracious about little kids having Madonna brows.
And the worst part is I did have a unibrow, but I remember grabbing my dad's razor when I was in 6th grade and shaving the middle of my forehead - just straight down.
I'm sorry, I hate to do the one-up game, but mine were worse - way worse. Combine big bushy eyebrows with a poufy poodle didn't-know-how-to-take-care-of-it perm (with bangs that were permed!) and it was AWFUL.
And then, when I figured out how bad it was... I tried tweezing my eyebrows.
And I tweezed those motherfckers right off (unintentionally!). I tried to arch and thin them. I didn't know what I was doing.
It was a disaster. I'm too scared to even post pictures lol.

LOL.... ok... I'll post them... for no more than a few minutes lol. They're baddddd. I had to dig them out of the bottom of a photo drawer and take a picture of them with my phone. My scanner doesn't even want to cooperate enough for me to scan them in!
LOL not sure if you can see but in the 7th grade picture I am missing most of my eyebrow! I think maybe the outline is there? But I tried to pluck them and make them thinner and give them an arch. Instead, I plucked them off except for the first 1/3 of them. The rest is gone (or mostly gone... I didn't know WHAT I was doing!) lol
If you saw my middle school yearbook half the girls had the same hairstyle. The poodle was very popular back then. lol.
I had a very bossy hairstylist (who was flaming and whom I adored) tell me "dear, you have the best eyebrow shape...but you could use a wax"
I was aghast. I think I was 16. And didn't wax my eyebrows until college. I only tweezed in the middle. That was not the worst part of them. They extended into my hairline, man.
My eyebrows are thick and way darker than my hair. My mom didn't realy care about them so my grandma took me to a spa to have them waxed. I was 14 or 15. Best day of my teen years.
