Hairy Situation: About Men and The Unibrow

Hello ladies!

Ok, so let’s take this in a bit of a different direction. I know that we primarily talk about our own hairy situations, but let’s gear this one towards men because, face it, we date ‘em, hate ‘em, and sometimes even love ‘em. And to this end, we are going to make Wednesdays the “About Men” blogging day.

THE UNIBROW
Whether he over-plucks, shaves, or just lets it grow, every man has his own (usually misguided) way of handling his brows. Here are some ways to approach the man in your life who has no idea what he’s doing. . . contrary to what he may think:

THE PERFECT BROW-MAN
This is that guy who has better shaped and arched brows than you do. You can actually just stare at how perfect they are (ladies we’re still talking about the brows!). We don’t want American idol Adam Lampert eyebrows. So how do you let him know how to rough them up a little? First off, your dates shouldn’t be at the spa for his-and-her eyebrow waxing appointments. Let him know that his brows look sexier when they are more natural and that you can help him clean them up in-between appointments with tweezers (and an ice cube to numb the area because we all know men can’t stand any pain).

CATERPILLAR MAN
This is the guy that is “au natural” and thinks nothing of it—you can’t help staring and mentally strategizing on how you can fix them. Warm him up with a simple head massage (hidden tweezers at arms’ length), then go for the gold—or the hair! Start out gently by plucking one hair at a time, pressing on the skin immediately after the hair is drawn to relive the sting. Believe me, he’ll appreciate this!

THE SHAVERHOLIC
This is that guy that thinks razor stubble on his brow is just as normal as his five-o’clock shadow. NO, NO, NO!!!! Let Mr. Wonderful know that his stubble looks awfully painful on his brows and that he can take five seconds to wax them—that way he won’t end up with razor bumps and ingrowns. Also let him know that he can save money because shaving the extra brow hair can dull his razors…

Good luck ladies and please let us know your feedback ;)
