Just buy some home wax and do it at night and the redness should be gone by morning

I use this. Not for between my brows though

they have these facial waxing strips that i cut and are perfect ( i use the nads brand. 6 bucks and comes with soothing wipes). Do it at night after a shower so that the pores are opened up. wash face and dry. do not use moisturizer or lotion of any kind on face. just clean skin dried with a towel.

I cut the wax strip the size of the space i want hairless and place strip on the uni brow area.

when you pull it off there is some redness, but i find it dissipates enough while i sleep that its fine. I use the soothing wipes on my skin to remove any waxy residue and moisturize as normal.

Shaving will grow hairs thicker. I find waxing.. the hair is finer and doesnt grow as long or nearly as fast.

I cant believe the number of people that think an area will get more hairy the more you shave
it doesnt get more hairy, but the texture of the hair isnt as fine and each individual hair can become thicker, more stubbly, more prominent as it grows.

with waxing, the hairs are finer and the maintenance is less often because you are removing the hair at the root as opposed to shaving.

i worded it poorly. LINK

quote:

The idea that hairs grow back darker and thicker is also an illusion, created by the fact that hairs tend to taper towards their ends. Shaving them at the base will result in a blunt-ended hair that feels more obvious and is slightly thicker than the end of the hair that has been cut. The base of the hair has been this thickness all along. But compared with the end of a longer hair, it seems a lot thicker.


what i mean is, it looks stubbly (due to the blunt end of the hair and it not being tapered). as its better worded in the link, its the illusion that is thicker. It simply looks thicker. And, we partake in hair removal due to the way a thing looks...

Waxing a hair from the root results in a tapered hair re growth, which has the illusion of being finer than hair that is a blunt end...

I wouldn't know. I am not a neandertal and I don't have hair there. Maybe you can take your girlfriend to the salon and have her eyebrow waxed

I have like 4 or 5 tiny hairs in between my eyebrows. I shave them once in a while. They do not grow back darker, multiply, or anything crazy like that.

why are so many guys, especially the ones that need it, against having their eye brows waxed? You can have them done to where they still look like a man's eyebrows, not like a girls, thin and with the big arch.

Regular barbers clippers work. Just put a number 1 (or 2) guard and do the entire uni-brow first. Then remove the guard and shave in between to get to separate brows. It helps if you pay attention, do them evenly, and not too square.
