How to Trim Your Eyebrows

If you look around you'll notice that in every group of guys there are always one or two that appear to be wearing two wild animals on their forehead. While trimming your eyebrows correctly may not sound like a major skill, it is something many men never master.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Use flat trimming scissors. Curved trimmers are fine, but are hard to use for this job. Flat trimmers are easier to use when trying to keep both eyes evenly cut and similarly shaped.

2. Leaning in closely to your bathroom mirror, use the index finger of your off-hand to push the hairs of one eyebrow upward and against the grain, toward your nose. Keep your finger firmly against your forehead, with the top of your finger running directly along the hairline of the eyebrow. Notice any long, unruly hairs sticking out above that line.

3. Holding the eyebrow in place, slide your trimmers along the finger line, running from the outside inwards towards your nose, trimming the unruly hairs as you go. Be careful. While trimmers are different than a full pair of scissors, they are still dangerous, particularly around the eyes. Repeat the same process on the other eyebrow.

4. After the first trim on each brow, there will still be a few hairs that will be a bit too long and unruly. Trim them individually. After clipping these few obvious hairs one by one, repeat the first parts of the trimming process again, trimming back anything that still remains above your finger line.
