Sorting out overhanging, hairy eyebrows is not that difficult when you know what to do.
Firstly avoid the following:
Don't shave them - they will return thicker with blunt ends. They will also look daft as they grow back!
Don't cut them off in chunks or they will look like well-trimmed hedgerows
Lock yourself in the bathroom with a good mirror and a pair of decent tweezers (invest in some good ones that really grip the hair). Run the tweezers under very hot water or dip in surgical spirit to sterilise them.
If you have just had a shower or bath the pores will be open and the hair will come out more easily, if not place a hot flannel over the brows for a few minutes. Always stretch the skin as you go, otherwise you may pull out more than you bargained for!
With your fingers brush the hairs downwards and any that look too long or too wiry pull out with a firm tug. Your pulling technique is important as they come out much easier if you follow the direction of growth.
Pluck hairs towards your ears except in between the eyebrows where the top ones should be plucked upwards and the bottom downwards. Yes it does hurt a bit, but you get used to it!
Pluck some hairs out under the arch of the brow but don't overdo it. You aren't aiming for an arch just a naturally tidy look. If any grow too far down your temples pull those out too. If they grow down too low they can make your eyes appear droopy and sad!
If your eyebrows meet in the middle they can give a dark, sinister appearance. Aim for a finger's width gap between them and pluck out the hairs that are in the way.
Afterwards put some antiseptic cream onto the area as it may be a little red and tender. Regular maintenance will help to keep you looking well groomed. If you are worried about the finished result try tackling them over a few weeks so that the effect is very subtle and not such a shock to the system
