Dealing with a unibrow
| Sun, 02-18-2007 - 10:33pm |
This may seem very trivial but my 16 year old DS is sensitive about his "unibrow". He's a very good looking young man but has said, not in so many words, that he wants to shave and get rid of the unibrow look. I don't really care but just want to help him do it right. (He and his track buddies decided to shave their legs and his legs came out OK but the bathroom took a long time to recover . . . ). I've never done anything with my eyebrows - basically I'm too lazy. Can anyone help? Thank you!

I agree. Do NOT let him shave his brows. Estheticians wax men's eyebrows all the time these days. Its quick and they don't grow back for a few weeks and even when they do it will be finer hairs that he can then go wax off again. After a while they will come in very, very fine.
They'll take him to a back room so he won't feel all "weird" and its very inexpensive.
I agree with all the previous posts. And tell your son not to worry about feeling "weird," because you can take him to any salon (nail or hair - but I'd go with hair - nail salons tend to shape them thin) - even outside of town.
I get my eyebrows done usually once ever 3 months - every OTHER haircut. Since I've been getting them done, they grow in much finer, and I can go longer without getting them done. I'll often use a tweezer to pluck stray hairs that get in the way.
Do NOT let him shave them - everyone above is right - they'll grow in coarser, give him stubble, and it's difficult to shape them properly. Let a professional do it - he'll be much happier.
For the record, my son got his brows done before prom last June - he hasn't had to go back (although he's talking about going back now as they're growing in more) - he didn't feel weird at all, and the girl in the salon told him she does teenage boys all the time.
My 16 yr. old dd does my 12 yr. old ds's brows all the time!
Give DS an advil about an hour before going to take the edge off the sting....
Good luck!
