Waxing certain parts of the body can give a well groomed look. Many men these days are taking part in this widespread trend. This includes waxing their eyebrows. Follow these steps to pull off wax when waxing a man's eyebrows.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Determine if the wax around the man's eyebrows is set. You can gently touch the wax with your fingers to see if the wax is sticky. If the wax is set, your finger should not stick to it at all.

  2. Step 2

    Stretch the skin away from the direction you will be pulling the wax from using one or two fingers. Just a gentle pull of the skin will work to create the tightness needed to remove the wax from the man's eyebrows. If you do not pull the skin tight enough it can tear, causing irritation and sometimes bleeding.

  3. Step 3

    Lift a small flap of the wax with your fingernail starting at the outside edge of the man's eyebrows. This will create a flap to hold onto when pulling the wax off the man's eyebrows.

  4. Step 4

    Rip the wax quickly off the man's eyebrows while still holding the skin tight. If done properly, the entire piece of wax will be removed in one sweep.

Tips & Warnings
  • Follow all heating instructions when heating the wax. Wax that is too hot can cause serious burns to the skin.
  • Use only wax that is specially designed for hair removal. Standard candle wax is not appropriate to use.
