Eyebrow grooming

[rYaNn]

Does anyone know where should i go to to get my eyebrows trimmed 'cos they are getting a bit out-of-hand and bushy...Any recommendations??

Do eyebrows get bushier with age?

My hairdresser does that when I get my hair cut.

There are some places that specialize in eyebrows, so I would check in your area. In L.A. my wife goes to Anastasia, which is pretty good.

Careful, or you may end up looking like the guy from powder!

Wahl, Phillips-orelco,makes a lot of trimmers that could do a good job with trimming down the length of your brows.

At some point in adulthood, eyebrows naturally start to thin (although in men there might also be an increase in extra hairs past the normal edges). Some people's eyebrows perversely seem bushier as they thin, perhaps because the hairs are less able to hold each other down. Tweezers can remove too much. Trimmers are safer.

If you want to do-it-yourself (I do). Here's a good video: http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-tame-hairy-eyebrows

You can get your eyebrows trimmed or waxed at most salons and spas.

Or threading.

Not true. Around the age of 25, the male body says 'You're done making kids, right?' and stops regulating the growth of all the odd hair you have. Suddenly your nose, ears, cheekbones and eyebrows become a riot of newly coarse hair. You figure it out, or someone else points it out, and you start trimming. I use a #3 blade on a hair trimmer, and that keeps things in order.

Just pluck using tweezers. You have more control of how much you remove. I let an ex do it for me once. She removed way more than I wanted, although that's not why she's an ex.

No. 2 on the Norelco, but I don't have anything growing in the middle

People who are paid to do grooming (that is, third parties) disagree. There was an allusion to growth of hair in places where it doesn't belong. The cause might be androgens, maybe DHT, to which the eyebrows allegedly are insensitive. Mind you, eyebrow hairs that don't fall out keep growing unless checked, and as many men pay less attention to grooming (and other aspects of appearance) as they age, that probably gives rise to the disbelief that eyebrows thin with age. Look at elderly men, and you'll see that, even if long in places, their eyebrows are obviously thinning.
