Sumita Batra, grooming expert and CEO of Ziba, experts in the Art of Threading, offers three quick, no-fuss tips to guybrow grooming:
DON’T shave.
Most men resort to shaving to groom their brows. However, just as a beard grows in stubbly, the brows will do the same, often looking messier when they grow back in and/or resulting in painful ingrown hairs.
DO groom sparingly.
Instead of shaving, use a tweezer and pluck very sparingly. This means removing obvious stray hairs that are noticeably out of place. If you are inclined to go see an expert, brow threading usually produces a much more natural groomed look than waxing. Whether you pluck at home or seek a brow expert, remember to avoid highly accentuated arches. The goal is to achieve a clean, natural look.
DON’T use the old spit trick.
You know that classic move where a guy licks his fingers to “groom” his eyebrows? It needs to stop. Up until now, there hasn’t been any real solution to taming a guy’s brows beyond applying spit or hair gel, which often appears flaky soon after application. Applying a clear brow wax, like Ziba’s Brow Set ($11), helps keep guybrows groomed, sans spit. Unruly brows are no match for this non-sticky, natural wax pencil that won’t flake or leave a sticky residue.
Hope this helps you guys. Happy grooming!
