Getting rid of the unibrow...

[johnjohn320]

A bit of an embarassing question, but yes, I must ask it. I don't really have a unibrow per se, but a few stray hairs up there that are bothering the hell out of me, even though no one else seems to notice them. I know you're not supposed to shave em, so what should I do?

Pluck them out, but not to the point where people start noticing that you plucked them

Why aren't you supposed to shave them?

everyone has a few hairs between their eyebrows, it's no big deal.... when you have a unibrow, like unibrow from austin powers does... then, you are in trouble

I plucked mine, works fine. But my eyebrows are still bushy... i think I need professional wax job

Some people mistakenly believe that cutting hair makes it grow back thicker. It's an old wive's tale.

No, shaving between your eyebrows won't make the hair grow back thicker, but it will come back quickly. Either pluck the hair yourself, or seek a professional.

I press scissors against my head and cut it.. afterwards you can't see anything there

Here we go There's like 1/8" or more of hair under the skin you pluck out that has to grow back. I might advise against waxing. This lady did it one time when I was getting my hair cut and there was alot of eyebrows missing

I used to have a monster unibrow (my eyebrows are huge and thick.

I shave it once or twice a week. Just to seperate them into a left and right eyebrow, but they are still big and bushy. Anywho, once or twice a week, someone will be able to tell if they feel it, but you can't see anything.

And its much much easier than plucking the mofo. I tried that once, after about an hour I'd cleared only a small, small portion of it away. Did I mention that my eyebrows are huge?

I think it's the stubble issue. Shaving leaves the root and you soon get eyebrow stubble. I've seen it before on women. It aint pretty. Plucking or waxing takes out the hair at the root.

My neighbor has the most beautiful eyebrows, and I wonder how weird it'd be to ask if she has them done.

I want to touch her. :Q

Well isn't it actually easier to see and feel when it grows back because of that explanation you linked to? I know it's not literally thicker or more abundant, but doesn't it appear/feel that way?

i have a thick unibrow, i mean it matches the rest of the brow, i've never shaved it or anything, it's really consistant.....everyone says i should take it off, but i leave it on, for character

 

[cronos]

just leave them where they are.

My solution is to shave the part in the middle and use tweezers to pluck around the edges and get the stray hairs left behind by the razor
