Fix your eyebrows for a better appearance
A unibrow or monobrow is the presence of abundant hair between the eyebrows, so that the eyebrows appear to meet above the nose to form a single long eyebrow. In Western culture, the growth of such facial hair is viewed as ungrooming, as if taking on a “primitive” appearance. The Unibrow Parting is the only form of brow grooming for men. Among women, the space between the eyebrows is plucked or treated with electrolysis or other forms of hair removal.
The way your eyebrows are groomed can make a considerable difference to your appearance as they help shape your eyes and give you character. It is important to keep your eyebrows trimmed and well groomed. Bushy brows require ongoing care and attention. Everyone still needs some kind of maintenance for their eyebrows. Men and women need good grooming tips too.
Never shave your eyebrows as a quick fix. When your eyebrows start to grow back, they will require constant maintenance. The continued need for grooming will be obvious. Eyebrows require their own special care. Use your razor to trim your beard.
It is not a good idea to use depilatories inside the eye area. It is easy to irritate the skin and cause unwanted injury. With depilatories, your hair will grow back faster than with wax or tweezers. Your eyes are precious and delicate. Don’t risk the safety of your eyes.
There are many kits on the market for plucking eyebrows. With step-by-step instructions, the process seems simple. It’s best to have your brows waxed by a professional, but if he decides to do it at home, have a professional do it the first time. Watch closely to see how it’s done, and be prepared for temporary discomfort and pain.
trim your eyebrows
For those with thin eyebrows, a small pair of scissors may be enough to trim any stray hairs. Brow grooming and trimming is best done in bright light.
Select an area to give attention. Next, trim your eyebrows in the direction of hair growth. Work slowly, carefully. Hairs trimmed too short will stand out foolishly. With a few days of careful trimming, you’ll know if you’re on the right track.
Plucking loose eyebrow hairs
Apart from waxing, tweezing is still the most effective method of removing eyebrow hair. If you need to pluck your eyebrows, keep clean tweezers handy for this purpose.
Keep your tweezers store in a safe and hygienic place. Don’t let anyone use it. Some men may want to use tweezers to clean their nails. This is unhygienic and makes the tweezers less effective. If you allow such use of your tweezers, be prepared to buy a new pair when the ends don’t come together properly to grab the hairs.
Start plucking with damp eyebrows. Using tweezers after showering is ideal, but soaking the forehead area with a warm washcloth for several minutes will give the same effect. Comb your brows in the direction of their growth and let them fall naturally into place.
Decide which areas need thinning. Then pluck your eyebrows with tweezers in the direction of hair growth. For a seamless look, start low, from the inside out. Pull out each hair, one by one, to avoid mistakes. Be careful, some hairs may not grow back!
When plucking the center of your brows, look carefully to make sure you don’t pull them too far apart. You can always come back later and remove the extra hair, if you need more room.
Don’t pluck too many hairs from the top of your brow. Aim for the obvious stray hairs and pull them forward a bit. Start from the center, then out.
