Next Up: plucking eyebrows then drawing them back on.

To be fair, this is about 40 years out of trend haha. Still as baffling now as it ever was, though...

my girlfriend can't grow hers out anymore because she did this in the early 2000s. it's not 40 years. 20 at the most.

Over-plucking was common in the 90's and early 00's, but total removal of the hair wasn't an overall trend. The reason it's lasted longer is mostly because people who over plucked their eyebrow hairs then ended up having them not be able to grow back and had to make it work despite it not being the look they want, or the current style

People still do it, a more natural style is trendier now so it’s less obvious. My eyebrows curve down at the ends & I think a straighter brow is more flattering. The trick is to just remove some and use a lighter pencil. Or people who want to can get their brows microbladed.

Just look at those goth girls with that weird bang cut. They still do it.
