<p>I’m a good lookin’ guy. But I have bushy eyebrows and I have a very slight unibrow that is unattractive. I’m only 19 years old, but wanted some adults advice what the best thing to do with a unibrow. </p>
<p>I heard there’s electrolysis & laser options. I’m looking for a long-term / permanent option. Just to get those few hairs in between my eyebrows I think would clean up my look a lot.</p>
<p>Any experience / advice for me? I know nothing about electrolysis, laser, or just shaving, tweezing, waxing, etc…</p>
<p>A good barber or hair stylist can take care of eyebrows at the same your hair is cut. Or, go to a full-service salon and get everything done at once. This way, you can maintain your brows on the same schedule as your hair. </p>
<p>You should also have the eyebrows trimmed and shaped a bit, and as you get older, you may find a few stray hairs in the ears which will also need attention!</p>
<p>My son was also cursed with a unibrow and has been having it waxed since he was almost 13! We did it the first time before his Bar Mitzvah and he loved the look and has continued every since. He only has it done a few time a year, when he is home visiting. He hasn’t been bold enough to let anyone different do it for him, but he is a creature of habit; still tried to get home for haircuts!</p>
<p>Waxing is an easy option to see how you like the look and won’t break the bank. Give it a try, but do go to a place that knows what they are doing so your brows can be shaped at the same time.</p>
<p>Wax first at the best salon you can find. Don’t come out looking like George Hamilton (i.e., make sure the technician does only the unibrow area - no shaping the rest). If it is girls you are after, a naturally messy eyebrow is preferable (just not a unibrow). If you like the results, which I think you will, spring for getting it lasered. Make it permanent. Join the groupon in your city, as they often have deals on laser treatments at salons. The eyebrow is a small area, so it shouldn’t be too expensive (but it does take four or five treatments).</p>
<p>When I suggested shaping, I was thinking more along the lines of a scissor cut along the brow line. My son had many stray hairs that stood up and needed trimming.</p>
<p>That’s true, snowball. If you have a few break-out wild hairs, those should be trimmed on an ongoing basis. You get a little comb, and snip any particularly long and crazy hairs with a small scissors. Additionally, those prone to unibrow status might also want to pay extra attention to ear and nose hairs (especially over time). There are devices for those issues (at Sharper Image or someplace like that).</p>
<p>I was also referring to snipping the overly long hairs - not creating a feminine arch or an exaggerated shape. As the OP ages, those hairs can really have a mind of their own!</p>
<p>Wax – eventually hair stops growing back. You can laser later if you want. Trim, trim, trim if you have stray long hairs. My Dad, whom I adored, had both a unibrow and extremely wild long hairs that were a distraction. My youngest son seems to have the same brows and I have made such a point with him that when he gets older, if they get wild, he must trim. I have also gotten the long wild hairs as I’ve aged and I have to aggressively trim them.</p>
