How to Trim a Man's Eyebrows
Male grooming requires more attention to eyebrow hair overgrowth than female grooming. You must pay attention to the process due to the typically wiry, thick nature of male brow hair. Using a fine-tooth comb and a sharp pair of shears, you can trim a man's eyebrows quickly and easily. Does this Spark an idea?

1
Comb the eyebrow with a fine-tooth comb to remove any snarls. This is important if the brows are thickly overgrown. Cutting around small knots can result in a choppy, unflattering look. Run the comb through forward, backward, upward and downward. This method finds even tiny, hidden knots.

2
Use your non-cutting hand to comb one eyebrow upward, allowing the longest hairs to escape through the teeth of the comb. Males often have numerous long strands that will poke outward.

3
Trim the exposed hairs by cutting close to the comb. The comb protects the person's face and keeps you from cutting the hair too short. Brush away any hairs that land on the person's face so they don't land in an eye or cause sneezing at an inopportune moment.

4
Repeat Steps 2 and 3 until you remove any hair that extends beyond the comb.

5
Follow Steps 1 to 4 with the other eyebrow. When finished, remove the comb and look closely at the eyebrows. If any long hairs remain, carefully trim each individually.

Tips & Warnings
To help strays cooperate when the grooming is complete, apply a small amount of hairspray or gel to the tip of your finger. Rub it across each eyebrow in the direction of hair growth.
Many males are unaccustomed to grooming their eyebrows. If you're trimming a person who is unfamiliar with the procedure, remind him to close his eyes and hold still to avoid injury.
