It is easy for a man to groom the unsightly hair that grows between the eyebrows, otherwise known as a unibrow. All it takes is a couple of simple waxing tools and about five minutes. Here is how to wax a man's unibrow.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Heated and prepared body wax
  • Wooden wax applicator stick
  • Muslin waxing strips
  • Witch hazel or rubbing alcohol
  1. Step 1

    Plot out the area in need of waxing with the applicator stick. Simply create a line from the side of the nostril going straight up over the eye. Do the same measurement on the other side. The space between these lines will be the area waxed.

  2. Step 2

    Prep the area between the eyebrows by wiping it clean with witch hazel or rubbing alcohol. This will remove any oil or dirt that might keep the wax from adhering properly.

  3. Step 3

    Smooth the melted wax over the brow area using the applicator stick. Use an upward motion, spreading the wax in the direction of the hair growth.

  4. Step 4

    Place a muslin strip over the wax, pressing and rubbing firmly in the same upward direction in which the wax was applied. Check that the strip is firmly adhered to the wax.

  5. Step 5

    Grasp the top of the muslin strip while using the other hand to pull the skin taut.

  6. Step 6

    Pull the stip downward in a single, swift motion. It is important to keep the skin pulled taut while doing this. The hair should be removed from the unibrow area.

  7. Step 7

    Wipe away any excess wax that remains on the brow area.
