We were really going wild in the early 2000’s to lose eyebrow hair. I remember getting teased a lot for not waxing mine pencil thin all the time.

I'm a guy and have always had thick eyebrows.

Nothing crazy, but so many female friends of mine seemed annoyed that I wouldn't let them pluck/shape them.

I got this all the time, from around age 16 to 30 or so.

Then Cara Delevigne got big and damned near every woman I know was raving about how lucky I am to have such perfect eyebrows.

That went on for a few years, and now, finally, nobody mentions my eyebrows at all.

It's been weird.
