I heard ice works but I also heard a hot cloth works for no pain. Which one do you think is better and also any other ideas? 
Thanks.

I think ice because it kind of numbs the skin. Maybe try both and see which you like best!

There are some numbing creams you could purchase although I don't think they work very well. Just do it quickly or get it waxed so it's all at once.

I can pluck 5 hairs at a time I don't feel any pain, I've heard ice works but make sure you wrap it in a tissue first or something!

I honestly think that waxing is the best. You get it done all at once and there is so much less pain involved.

Starting off it doesn't hurt as much if you do it right as you get out of the shower so your pores are open!

Get an after-wax benzocaine cream and use it before you pluck:) it makes the area numb.

If you so one at a time it doesn't hurt as bad. I only pluck strays and go with my natural brow.

Ice does and doesn't work. You feel like it works because it slightly numbs the skin, but actually the pores contract because of the cold. Putting a warm towel on top of your brows beforehand is the best bet.

Also make sure you have the right tweezers, I've noticed when I have a stickier tweezer (not usually meant for eyebrows some are though) it hurts but if I have a good one it doesn't hurt at all! Best of luck xx

I only luck and I hold a small baggie of ice over the area for about a minute and then pluck. It basically numbs the area and makes it so you only feel a little pressure instead of a sharp pin prick when you pull out the hairs. Hope that helped! I'm pretty sure a hot cloth would work too but not as well.
