- Disinfecting the eyebrow area before the hair removal process will help you in a couple aspects. This will loosen up the roots of your hair, allowing it to be removed more easily. It also will ensure that germs don't enter freshly plucked pores, causing irritated, unsightly red spots. Use a clean cotton ball and hydrogen peroxide to disinfect over the eyebrows along with the surrounding areas.
- The first thing most men address is the hair in between their eyebrows. If you have what's known as a unibrow or even just a few stray hairs, you should consider removing them. When removing hair in between your eyebrows it's important to correctly determine how far in you should remove hair. If you were to put a pencil vertically alongside your nose straight up to touch your eyebrow, the inner part of your eyebrow should stop where the pencil lands. This will give you a good guide as to how far in you should pluck.
- When shaping your eyebrows, they will always look best if you follow their natural shape. This will make maintenance easier as well as help you to avoid looking over-manicured. Pluck away stray hairs above and below the eyebrow. A stray hair can be considered a hair that isn't grouped with the majority of your eyebrow.
- Trimming your eyebrows helps rid them of a bushy appearance. Not every man has enough eyebrow hair to need trimming and it also depends on your preferred look. If you would like to trim your eyebrows its best to use a comb and scissors. Slowly brush the comb flat through your eyebrow, moving the opposite direction of the hairs growth, in one continuous motion. As you comb, use your scissors to trim the excess length that is brought up by the comb. It's best to trim a very short amount of hair at a time. Trimming your eyebrows to short can result in bald patches.
