4 hair removal methods to try

If this was taboo for a long time, today it is no longer. This is great news! Men, just as much as women, have a right to enjoy taking care of themselves. It does not feminize them in any way. Man or woman, cleaning and moisturizing your skin is one of the important steps if you want beautiful skin; and it is obvious that men also appreciate having clear skin. Ditto for hair removal. More and more men are daring to remove hair that they find unsightly, whether on the armpits, legs or even the face. Many of them actually take care of their gaze, and more precisely of their eyebrows. Moreover, if you are currently reading this article, it is probably because you are plucking your eyebrows, or you want to get started. Rest assured, it’s pretty straightforward.

First, it is important to know that, male or female, it is recommended to pluck your eyebrows, rather than shaving them. Depilation consists of removing the hair and its bulb, while shaving cuts the hair close to the skin. You will therefore understand that hair removal will provide clean, hairless skin for longer. You will be quiet for about 3/4 weeks. Conversely, after shaving, the hair tends to grow back very quickly. The skin will then display, quickly after the cut of the razor, small black dots corresponding to the regrowth of the hairs. Which is much less aesthetic.

The different eyebrow hair removal methods

There are different methods for plucking your eyebrows, namely tweezers, cold wax strips, hot wax or even thread. Some are easily practiced alone at home, while others require an appointment in an institute. We take stock of each of these eyebrow hair removal techniques for men.

1. Hair removal with tweezers
This method is undoubtedly the fastest, but also the cheapest. Hair removal with tweezers is very easy at home. It has the advantage of allowing a large precision since it consists in removing the hairs, one by one, in the direction of growth. This technique is also recommended for men who want to remove only a few hairs, without being precise.

For the choice of tweezers, we recommend the one from Vitry which is very famous for its tip having a very good grip on the hair; or that of Benefit Cosmetics which is equipped with a tweezer and an eyebrow brush.

2. Cold wax strips
Cold wax strips are very easy to find in supermarkets. You just need to heat the special eyebrow mini strips in your hands to make the wax lukewarm and to be able to catch the hairs during depilation. Always place the tape, then remove it against the grain. Not very precise, the strips of cold wax will then require a finishing with the tweezers.

3. Hot wax
Hot wax is the most common method for plucking your eyebrows in a salon. The beautician then uses a very fine spatula. She applies the hot wax in the direction of hair growth on the face, then removes the strip in the opposite direction. This method is not not very expensive in institute and allows to pluck the eyebrows with precision.

4. Eyebrow plucking
Performed in an institute, thread hair removal allows incredible precision. To pluck the eyebrows with a thread, the beautician traps the hairs to be removed, using a very resistant cotton thread. This method is one of the techniques that indeed promise a perfectly clean and straight line.

What shape should I choose for my eyebrows?

This is often the question you can ask yourself before starting to wax your eyebrows. Yet the advice is the same for everyone. It is always recommended to keep its natural line. So, whether you choose to pluck your eyebrows using tweezers, cold wax strips, hot wax or even thread, always follow your natural line. It is a question of making it clearer and sublimating it, but in no case of modifying it. So pluck the hairs protruding from your brow line, and do not touch the rest!

When should you pluck your eyebrows?

If you choose a hair removal method that is done at home, it is recommended that you remove hair after taking a shower or a bath. The heat of the water dilates the pores of the skin. First, the hairs will come off more easily, and also, the hair removal should be less painful.

How to keep beautiful eyebrows every day?

To keep your eyebrow line crisp and clean every day, here are some beauty tips to follow.

Every morning you can brush your eyebrows using a brush (like the one at the end of the Benefit Cosmetics tweezers, highlighted a little earlier in our article) or a bottle brush.

Finally, if you want a more polished line, you can bet on make-up. All make-up products are mixed. However, some brands offer men’s ranges including eyebrow pencils or eyebrow mascaras for men. We are thinking in particular of Chanel who is one of her Chanel Boy range, a waterproof and long-lasting eyebrow pen for men. With its double tip, it allows you to both fill the holes or fill the eyebrow with its lead, but also to brush them with its brush. A must-have for men who appreciate flaunting flawless brows.
