Sometimes people who need help look nothing like people who need help.

You can’t pluck or thread your eyebrows but you can bleach them.
You shouldn’t say something is haram unless it’s in the Quran. And also bleaching your eyebrows just looks weird. If you believe that God doesn’t want us to change the way our eyebrows look why is bleaching okay but plucking or threading isn’t. We’re allowed to remove hair from our body.
Sister, we take from the Qur'an AND sunnah.
If you had truly read the Qur'an you would have found in it this verse:
“And whatsoever the Messenger gives you, take it, and whatsoever he forbids you, abstain (from it) , and fear Allah. Verily, Allah is Severe in punishment.”
[Surah Hashr, 59:7]
The Prophet (ﷺ) has said:
“Allah has cursed those women who practise tattooing and the one who has them done, the one who plucks eyebrows and the one who has it done, and the one who files her teeth for beauty altering the creation of Allah.”
[Muslim]
If the Prophet (ﷺ) has said this then how can we deny it?
Yes, we’re allowed to remove the hair from our bodies but the scholars have divided it into 3 categories:
1. Hair that you can remove or shorten. This is sunan al-Fitrah e.g. removing the hair from the private parts, trimming the moustache and plucking the armpit hairs. And it also includes shaving or cutting the hair of the head during Hajj or ‘Umrah.
2. Hair which is haram to remove e.g. the eyebrows and the beard.
3. Hair which the texts are silent about and haven’t mentioned whether to remove it or leave it e.g. legs, hands, cheeks or forehead. But some scholars say that it is permissable to remove because whatever is not mentioned in the Qur'an or sunnah is permissable.
You can go on islamqa to look for more evidences if you need it.
Don’t practice Islam based on your desires and follow some things whilst leaving out other things. Allah has completed this deen and has chosen it for us, so why do we feel the need to pick and choose what we like?
Forgive me if this came out as harsh sis, it wasn’t in my intentions.
May Allah keep you steadfast on His deen.
you can part between eyebrows and what does not belong to them, maintaining their shape. removing facial hair is permissible also. Allah knows best. read this, i found it here
No matter the situation, never let your emotions overpower your intelligence.
Your worst sin is that you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for nothing.

“she asked me how far I am in the Quran and I tell her I admire her level of imaan she laughs and belittles herself and says ‘you’ve been wearing the hijab for six years, I’m the one who should admire you’ I glance at the Quran that’s warmly held in her hands and I remember how I forgot how to read it and how I had forgotten the words when the sheikh was reciting Surah Al-Fatiha this Jummah I look at her and I remember the nights where my tears would put me to sleep thinking of the sins I had committed that day I remember wiping the dust out of my Quran and forcing myself to remember how to read it I remember being angry with myself for letting it get to this point I smile at her and I tell her that I have chosen to start over and that she and I are no different”
