Run away eyebrows

Rob113

Lads, where do we stand on run away eyebrows. Im becoming alarmed at the number of eyebrow hairs that sprout to ridiculous lengths seemingly overnight. Do we just accept them as part of growing old, do we pull them out as they appear and hope they dont come back? Every week i seem to notice more and more of them. They are thicker, a much lighter colour and just seem to grow in random directions. Not even 30 yet so the idea of having what i always regarded as old man eyebrows is tormenting me.

Any advice, should i just accept it and move on?

Nothing you can do about it mate you just have to accept it as part of growing older, or keep plucking them out. I have one that constantly comes back no matter how many times i get rid of it, it's very long and white as snow. Very annoying but it just keeps coming back.

What do you do with your head hair (assuming you're not bald )?

When I'm getting a haircut the girl offers to trim the eyebrows. At first I was a little taken aback, but now it seems perfectly normal. Stops me looking like Dennis Healey.

Just keep plucking OP. No other way really of counteracting it. Just a sign that you're getting old and don't have those youthful looks anymore.

Because men don't know how to look after their own apparence? :rolleyes:

You can pluck 'em or you can trim them. For women plucking is the prefered method (be that tweezing or threading) simply because they want to shape them into arches. For men it's generally a lot easier. We look better with a straight cut across.

So, get a good quality hairdressers sissors and a comb. Comb your eyebrow straight up and clip it to the desired length.

You only have to do it every few months, less frequently then trimming your ear and nose hair.

Oh the joys of growing older more stately

Excellent advice.

But may I also suggest the gentleman experiment with some hair gel sparingly dabbed on an old toothbrush used to brush the brow hairs into place? It'll stop them heading off in different directions.

Clear mascara will do an excellent job too.

Just try not to plaster them down with it, or you'll look like you've painted your brows on.
