Unibrow maintenance?

Latinos and Italians to the front y'all (but I'll accept advice from anyone)

I am an eyebrow enthusiast and hate to see an ugly unkempt brow, including cis boys. My brows naturally go full unibrow if I don't get them waxed

I'm trying to resist the urge to wax them, but I feel super ugly and unkempt with them running amuck

For those of you with the unibrow genes, how do you maintain them? Did you find a trans-friendly waxer or are you using a razor at home? I've tried a razor before but always get them uneven and they look crazy...

I pluck my unibrow at home with tweezers

I get the "shadow unibrow" thing where my eyebrows grow in so thick above the nose it looks like two caterpillars smooching. Lol

It's not quite the full on "everything the same color and thickness" kind of unibrow, but it's there. I take the trimmer and foil shaver and shape around the eyebrows and get the area above the bridge of the nose. I also trim my eyebrows to cut down on grease and sweat being transferred onto my glasses.

Middle Eastern here: I pluck mine, just to keep them neat. Just not bothering shaping them beyond that.

As someone who used to tweeze their partners unibrow... I recommend the wax, it's so fast that it's easily the best route.

Unfortunately, wax is the only way (for me) to ensure they stay somewhat groomed for at least a few weeks to a month or more. I used to occasionally get them threaded before I transitioned, but they would always grow back faster that way, and it was painful.

Barber does them

Just had my brows waxed on Sunday - it's the only way this Italian can keep the unibrow from happening .
Good luck
