Crossing brow lines (also known as contiguous eyebrows) can be embarrassing or at least uncomfortable.You just ask people to know. There are many methods of facial hair removal, but be aware that most of them will require pain, though not for long.

Steps

Method 1 of 5: Pluck the intersecting eyebrows

1. 

   Dip a corner of the towel in hot water. Only use the corner of the towel to wet the intersecting eyebrows so that the whole face is not wet.
   • Another option is to pluck the intersecting eyebrows right after getting out of the shower. Warm water and steam from the shower will help open pores to expand.

2. 

   
   
   Apply the wet part of the towel to the area of ​​the skin where the hair is to be removed. Keep the towel until it cools down. Apply two or three times. Hot water will open up pores, making it easier and less painful to pluck your eyebrows.

3. 

   Stand in front of the mirror. You should use a magnifying mirror if you have one. The magnifying mirror will help you clearly see each eyebrow you want to pluck, but it is not necessarily there; A normal mirror is good enough to see if you are standing close by.

4. 

   
   
   Start spitting in the area between the eyebrows. Pull it out from the inside out on the brow that you want to remove. If there is any hair that is too difficult to pull, use the other hand to stretch the skin in that position. Be careful not to pluck too many eyebrows. Take a step back from the mirror once in a while to look back and determine how much more is left to spit.
   • To determine the position of the tip of the eyebrow that should be extracted, hold the tweezers upright so that one tip reaches the widest part of the nose, the other end is pointing up to the eyebrow. Where the tweezers touch on the eyebrow, it is the tip of the eyebrow that you need to leave.
   • To find the location of the eyebrow arc, hold the tweezers horizontally close to the bridge of the nose, then rotate the tweezers at an angle of 45 degrees. Where the tweezers point to is where you should create the eyebrow arch.
   • To find the base of the brow, you will hold the tweezers diagonal at a 45-degree angle, starting from the inner corner of the eye towards the brow.

5. 

   
   
   Trim your eyebrows if you want. Start at the bottom of your current brow and trim it up. As above, you should occasionally take a step back and look in the mirror to make sure you aren't trimming your eyebrows too much.
   • Try to create an arc for your eyebrows. For more information on eyebrow plucking, please read the lessons on eyebrow plucking.

6. 

   Apply antibacterial soap and soothing lotion when your eyebrows are pulled. Aloe works well. An antibacterial soap will make sure the newly extracted pores are free from infection (leading to breakouts.)
   • If the brow area becomes red or puffy after the extraction, use an ice cube to reduce the redness and swelling. You can also use a washcloth soaked in cold water, or carefully dab a little hydrocortisone cream over the brow area.

Method 2 of 5: Remove waxed intersecting eyebrows

1. 

   Buy a home wax kit. The wax hair remover includes everything you need to get rid of those annoying eyebrows. You will use warm or cold wax to pluck the hair to the root. The result of long-lasting wax waxing is more than tweezing.
   • Another option is to use a hair removal patch. This is the best method for first-time hair removal novices. You just press the wax patch on the area you want to remove hair, press down on the patch, hold the skin around with your fingers and quickly remove the patch.
   • Wax removal is very effective, but also very painful. If you have sensitive skin, consider applying a bit of anesthetic cream to the area you plan to wax before starting this method.

2. 

   Warm up the wax. Follow the instructions on the packaging to ensure correct use. Normally, you can warm the wax in the microwave, but it should only be heated for 30-60 seconds. Stir well so that the wax melts completely.

3. 

   Spread the wax over the skin you want to wax. If you can get someone to do it for you, it's much easier than doing it yourself. But surely you can do it yourself if you look in the mirror and be careful. If you accidentally apply wax on areas you don't want to wax, wash it off and start over.
   • Hold the small brush or pencil upright against the widest part of the nose. The point of intersection of the pencil and the eyebrow is the starting point of the eyebrow. Measure both sides to see the intersection of the eyebrows to remove.

4. 

   Place the patch in the hair removal kit over the wax. Press down on the patch. Make sure not to cover the areas where you do not want to remove hair.

5. 

   Wait for the wax to harden. You should follow the specific product instructions for how long to wait before removing the patch. Depending on the type of wax, the waiting time may take about 1 minute. The wax should cool down when you touch the outside of the patch.
   • This time too, it's much easier to ask someone to help you.

6. 

   Peel off the patch. Use one hand to hold the skin around the patch, and with the other hand, remove the patch in a smooth and fast movement like peeling off a bandage.
   • Check in the mirror to check before removing the patch. If some hair remains; you can use tweezers to pluck each strand.

7. 

   Apply cold water or ice cubes if the area becomes swollen or red. Apply antibacterial lotions to prevent pimples or ingrown hairs.
   • A little bit of hydrocortisone cream dabbed into the area that has just been waxed also helps to reduce pain and irritation.

Method 3 of 5: Treat intersecting eyebrows with hair removal cream

1. 

   Buy depilatory cream. You can find this cream at a pharmacy. This is a hair removal cream that is safe to use on the face. This method is also suitable for those who are afraid of the pain of plucking or waxing. Note that this method will only remove surface hair, while waxing and tweezing can remove the hair from the root. This also means that your crossed eyebrows will grow back faster if you use hair removal cream.

2. 

   Test it first on the skin to see if the cream causes irritation. Dab a little bit of cream on the back of your hand or a spot. Leave it on for as long as directed on the package (usually take about 2 minutes), then rinse off the cream. If you experience severe redness or discomfort it is best not to apply this cream to your face. If you see only reddishness or no response, you can start!

3. 

   Apply the cream to the intersecting eyebrows. Look in the mirror while doing this to apply the cream in the right place. Make sure you don't put the cream on the part of the brow you want to keep.
   • To find out where to start, use an eyeliner or a small brush to find the point where the vertical line intersects from the outside of the nose towards the brow. Remember to measure both sides of the nose. The distance between the two measured points will be the area where you will wax.

4. 

   Leave it on for as long as directed after applying the cream. Information on the product packaging will tell you how long it takes (usually around 2 minutes). Do not leave the cream on the skin for longer than recommended to avoid irritation.

5. 

   Rinse off with a washcloth. The brow intersection area will be washed with the cream, because the chemicals in the cream will shed hair. After washing, pat your face dry. advertisement

Method 4 of 5: Shave the intersecting eyebrows

1. 

   Note that shaving won't last long. Eyebrows at an intersection will grow back faster than if you were using hair removal methods, waxing or depilatory cream.

2. 

   Buy an eyebrow razor, a razor specifically designed for shaving eyebrows. You can buy an eyebrow razor at beauty stores and drugstores.

3. 

   Apply a small amount of shaving cream to the area of ​​your brow intersection. Be careful, do not apply the cream to the eyebrows you want to leave.
   • You can also use the eyebrow pencil to mark the part of the brow you want to shave. This step will help you to easily apply the cream neatly on the eyebrows you want to shave.
   • Hold your pencil upright, starting from the outside of your nose toward your brow. The point where the pencil and eyebrow intersect is the starting point of the eyebrow. Measure so for both sides. The eyebrows growing between the left and right points need to be removed.

4. 

   Wet the razor. Carefully shave the eyebrows you want to remove. Shave from the brow line down to the point just above the bridge of the nose.

5. 

   Wipe off the shaving cream and any spilled bristles with a wet washcloth. Try to avoid getting the shaving cream in your eyes. If there is a lot of hair left, reapply the cream and shave it again.
   • You can also use tweezers to pluck out any loose hairs.

Method 5 of 5: Use homemade hair wax

1. 

   Mix brown sugar, honey and water. Mix 2 teaspoons (10 ml) of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon (5 ml) honey, and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of water in a small microwave bowl.
   • Honey and sugar will form a very effective "wax" to remove eyebrows. This method will still be as painful as traditional waxing, but it can be helpful if you don't have a home wax set and don't want to buy one.

2. 

   Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds. Heat the mixture in the microwave for about 30 seconds on high power, every 10 seconds use a spoon to stir once. The mixture will bubble and turn brown.
   • Are not heat in the microwave for too long. If it gets too hot, the mixture hardens and becomes unusable.
   • However, if the mixture hasn't turned brown and has bubbles, your product will be too loose and ineffective.

3. 

   Let the wax cool down. Wait for the mixture to be just slightly warmer than room temperature. The mixture should be quite thick at this point, but still soft.

4. 

   Apply wax over the intersecting brow area. Use your finger or a thin brush to apply homemade wax to the eyebrows that need to be removed.
   • Hold the brush upright from the side of the nose towards the eyebrows to define the intersection of the palm tree and the eyebrow. This is the starting point of the brow in the middle of the face.

5. 

   Apply the fabric to the mixture. Apply a clean cloth to the sticky wax, trying to cover all of the wax.
   • Flannel, cotton, and similar materials are fine. Just remember to use a clean cloth.

6. 

   Peel off the cloth. Wait for the wax to harden and stick to the fabric for about 30-60 seconds, then peel it off in a quick, smooth motion. The wax and the eyebrows sticking to the wax will come off.
   • If you have any remaining hairs, consider using tweezers instead of repeating the waxing process again to minimize irritation.

7. 

   Apply hydrocortisone cream. Dab a pea-sized amount of hydrocortisone cream over the waxed area to ease the irritation. You can also cool your skin by applying a small ice cube and applying an antibacterial cream to reduce the risk of pimples or ingrown hairs. advertisement
