You can say that you have an unibrow when your two eyebrows meet in the middle because of the abundance of hair. Some people call it mono-brow, but both terms mean only one thing: that your two eyebrows have become a long ugly trail of hair on the middle of your face. Don’t be surprised if someone inconsiderate describes you as “very primitive” because having a unibrow is a sign of lack of grooming on your part, especially in western nations. If you are a male, unibrow separation is the solution. If you are a woman, you can pluck the hair, or undergo depilation like electrolysis, among many others. Grooming the eyebrows is as important as cutting and styling your hair. The shape of your eyebrows makes a big difference in how you look. Your eyebrows give you character and your eyes a beautiful shape, depending of course on how well you shape your eyebrows.

Dealing With Stray Eyebrow Strands If you can’t tolerate the pain that comes from waxing, then tweezing is your next option. Plucking your eyebrows is safe but make sure that you use a clean pair of tweezers. Store your tweezers in a sanitary and safe place. Buy your own tweezers and treat it the way you treat your tooth brush. Don’t let anyone use your tweezers. Some men even use tweezers only to remove dirt off their nails. If you use dirty tweezers, the dirt may cause irritation in the eyes. If someone has used your tweezers, buy a new pair and make sure that the ends of the tweezers meet. Moisten your eyebrows first before tweezing. You can either soak your brow area with a washcloth or take a shower. Comb your eyebrows and make sure that you follow the direction of their growth. The areas that need thinning depends on you. If you have finally decided where to thin and tweeze your eyebrows, tweeze in the direction of growth. You should learn the art of tweezing evenly, so start underneath before you tweeze from the inside, and then out.

Take a look at your eyebrows every now and then to avoid getting them too far apart. Go back to tweezing after taking a look at how you’re doing with it, to know if you need to remove additional strands or if you have already tweezed too much strands. Leave your top brow that way. If not, don’t pluck too many strands from it. Just focus on the stray strands before thinning the whole eyebrow a little. Pluck at the center and then follow an outward direction.
