Eyebrow grooming for men: the best tools and techniques, from waxing and tweezers to threading, for use at home
- As more men become interested in grooming their eyebrows, some are buying the tools and learning the methods for DIY maintenance
- From establishing your natural eyebrow shape to finding the best tweezers and learning how to thread, here is how to get started on eyebrow grooming at home
Men’s eyebrows are usually fuller and fuzzier than women’s and maintenance is necessary to keep them under control.
Eyebrow hairs grow at different lengths and sometimes in different directions, which can make it harder to keep them in shape, but neat eyebrows are easy to accomplish at home; all you need is the right tools and a basic understanding of what to do and not do.
In the past 10 years there has been a significant rise in the number of men interested in eyebrow threading, trimming and tinting, and a considerable percentage of them have found the tools required and learned the proper techniques to maintain their brows at home.
So how do you start, what tools do you need, and what are the essential rules you should keep in mind before dipping your toe into eyebrow grooming?
First things first: your natural eyebrow shape
As with everything, no eyebrow routine will be the same for every man, and to figure out what you need to keep them neat, first learn how they look in their natural state. Are they extra bushy, or are there bald spots in them? Is there a natural arch? Are they on the curvy or straight side?
