"Plucking" Eyebrows

In order to control the growth of eyebrows, many women turn to plucking, waxing, threading or shaving eyebrow hairs -- sometimes using a combination of techniques. Unfortunately, these techniques can, over time, inhibit hair growth that can result in eyebrows that look "patchy" or, worse still, cause eyebrow hair to stop growing.

Do You Pluck or Tweeze?

The correct answer depends on how much of a purist you are about using the English language. By Google's count, there are over 56,500 results for plucking eyebrows and only 14,600 for tweezing eyebrows - so clearly most people "pluck." But what do the language experts say?

According to Webster's dictionary, to pluck is to pull, withdraw, or pick something with your hands or fingers. For example, you pluck feathers from a chicken, pluck a stone out of a stream, and pluck guitar strings. On the other hand, to tweeze is to pull, withdraw, or pick something with an implement, especially tweezers.

So to be literal, if you pull out your stray eyebrow hairs with your fingers, you pluck eyebrows. If you pull out the eyebrow hairs using tweezers, you tweeze eyebrows.
