Is there an alternative way to shape up / remove excess eyebrow hair?

i'm a guy with ok skin but my eyebrows are pretty out-of-control. the thickness doesn't bother me so much as the fact that there is a lot of excess hair surrounding and in between my eyebrows. i used to get them waxed, which looked really good, but i'm looking for an alternative. something about plucking and waxing just seems like it must be horrible for your skin. i've also tried nair / facial hair removing cream, which also works ok, but again, it doesn't seem like it would be great for your skin (a lot of the excess hair goes up as high as my forehead). any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. i'm pretty much open to anything that will work that's not potentially harmful.Is there an alternative way to shape up / remove excess eyebrow hair?
try threading. it doesn't affect ur skin and is much quicker than plucking with a tweezer. moreover, if done correctly, can give a more natural appearance than waxing.Is there an alternative way to shape up / remove excess eyebrow hair?
plucking and waxing are not bad on your skin if done correctly!!! If you are going to get waxed, you should most def go to a professional. it will save you time, money and maybe a little pain





Because your eyebrows are so close to your eyes and are near some pretty tender areas of skin (and because they are on your face and visible to everyone!) I would NOT recommend a depilitory cream like nair and other creams/foams that remove hair with chemicals. These can burn your skin, or damage your eyes if you get them in them. Not to mention, just the fumes from those things can be pretty STRONG, and could possibly damage your eyes and your mucus membranes in your nose.





There are depilatory creams that I know some black men use on their facial hair... IDK much about those particular ones tho.


best of luck hairy forehead man
go for threading .that would be the best method
well there are those laser hair removal places you could try that.


Around here it is 99$ for eyebrows, I am not sure if you ever have to get it redone, you might want to look into it though and see what info you can get.
Plucking is not bad for your skin, I've been doing it for 35 years and no damage. I've never waxed, but I would think that the only damage would be a burn from too-hot wax. Facial hair removing cream is not damaging to your skin either. Those are about the only options other than electrolysis, which is permanent, but is expensive, and from what I hear, painful, and takes forever to finish, because they can only do a small area at a time. Laser is not an option, they will not do it that close to your eyes (I've asked!) If I were you, I'd stick to plucking or waxing, whichever you prefer.
go to a salon. Don't think guys shouldn't because they do and once you have it done you'll wonder why you waited so long. Just try to find a salon that offers hair removal and that is trendy and seems youthful because some of the older salons keep out of date styles.


shouldn't be more than $15 plus tip depending where you live.
I suggest sticking to waxing....plucking. It lasts for ages.





To counteract the skin irritation....use an aloe vera based soothing gel to reduce redness. And cleanse n exfoliate.





Microfibre cloths r fantastic for your face.





You could try nair or is it neet??? for sensitive face cream hair remover for a quick fix. But you really need to exfoliate to stop the hair follicles getting infected n leading to breakouts. Also when the hair starts to grow back you are prone to ingrown hairs....SO EXFOLIATE!!!!!! lol.





I highly recommend the microfibre cleaning facial cloths.....ebay has heaps!
i think your best bet is too keep waxing. I'm not sure why you think it's horrible for your skin. If you break out from it try using a sensitive wax. Continuous waxing can actually make the hair grow back more sparce and less thick. You could always try permanent removal. It's a little costly and usually takes a couple of treatment before the hair actually stops growing back.Good luck
