Fused eyebrows

When the two eyebrows grow together across the nose bridge, forming a continuous line of hair, it’s known as fused eyebrows, or unibrows. Unbelievably, this feature is more common than not and completely natural. Some people only have genetics to blame.

The meaning of fused eyebrows has changed over time in many cultures. Some might feel self-conscious about it, while others might view it as a remarkable and distinctive quality. The way we view and take care of our eyebrows frequently reflects larger standards of beauty, which vary depending on the setting and period of time.

Understanding fused eyebrows enables you to make well-informed decisions regarding your appearance, regardless of whether you prefer to groom for a more defined shape or to embrace your natural look. This post will go over the ins and outs of fused eyebrows, covering everything from cultural viewpoints to doable maintenance techniques.

Fused eyebrows in men | How to remove a man"s unibrow?

All methods

Let’s begin by acknowledging that electrolysis is the only permanent solution for brow fused eyebrows. Whatever the specialists who perform the other procedures say, the results are all temporary and vary in duration.

Every removal technique is separated into:

mechanical. Mechanical methods of fighting hairs have a short-term effect, but are distinguished by the simplicity of the procedure and its relative cheapness;
hardware. These methods are more durable, but are more expensive, have more contraindications and require a mandatory visit to a specialist.

Among the mechanical techniques are:

plucking;
threading;
shaving;
bleaching;
depilation.

Hardware techniques consist of:

laser hair removal;
electrolysis.

Plucking with tweezers

Using tweezers to pluck fused eyebrows is the most convenient and approachable method for reshaping the nose and eliminating growth from the bridge. If you have a small amount of hair in the bridge of your nose and do not want to see a specialist, we suggest using this method.

You can use a warm, damp towel to lightly steam the skin on the nose bridge prior to the procedure. By opening the pores, this manipulation will lessen the pain of the removal.

Then use tweezers to correct as per the traditional method:

Treat the correction area with chlorhexidine or other facial disinfectant;
Using tweezers, grab the hair closer to the root and quickly but carefully pull out the hair;
After the procedure, go over the correction area again with chlorhexidine and apply a soothing lotion or cream.

You can visit an eyebrow specialist or perform the procedure yourself at home. Seeing an expert will be the best course of action if you have never had your eyebrows corrected before; they can accurately identify the start of the arch and adhere to all facial hair removal guidelines.

If you are unable to see a professional, remember these three crucial guidelines:

mark the beginning of your eyebrows in advance so as not to remove too much. Take a pencil and place it at the side of your nose so that its center goes through the inner corner of your eye. The place where the pencil points will be the optimal beginning of your eyebrow arch;
pull out only one hair at a time. Plucking hair in bunches can cause the hair shaft to break off. As a result, your eyebrows will "grow" faster, and if the breakage occurs under the skin, there is a high probability of ingrown hair with subsequent inflammation;
stop periodically and move away from the mirror to assess the overall picture.

The length of the effect varies from 7 to 14 days, depending on the features of the body.

Threading

Plucking is similar to threading, but with a thread instead of tweezers. This method’s primary benefit is that it removes multiple hairs in a single motion, making the process faster.

It is best to hire a brow artist to perform threading as it is a skillful and "trained" hand procedure. The truth is that inexperienced users may find it difficult to control the hair removal loop, increasing the likelihood that the desired hairs will be removed.

If you choose to perform the process, make sure to read our threading article first as it contains comprehensive instructions. To put it briefly:

Take a 40-50 cm piece of thread. and tie the ends together in several knots;
Take the resulting loop in both hands and twist it in the center 5-7 times;
Check the functionality of the resulting device – spread the fingers of one hand a little wider – the twist in the center will move to the opposite hand.

Removing hairs that obstruct the thread’s twist is the fundamental step in the threading process. Going over the nose bridge with one hand open at a time, then the other, remove any hair that is growing against the skin.

Similar to tweezers, eyebrows regrow in 7–14 days following threading.

Shaving

The least common method, which produces the least durable effect, is shaving the hair on the nose bridge. A new stump that is unsightly is "pushed out" by two to three hair follicles after the cutting tool only removes the visible portion of the hair. Furthermore, the hair gets coarser and darker with repeated shaving, making it harder and harder to conceal fused eyebrows.

But because shaving is the least painful procedure, this method hasn’t entirely vanished.

The following can be used to shave the hair on the nose bridge:

a razor;
a trimmer.

Prior to the process, we advise figuring out when to start and using the device inside the given parameters. Using a trimmer is preferable because of its narrow working head and excellent maneuverability.

Only use a razor on the outer layers of skin; the bridge of the nose is a tiny, painful area that is difficult to control.

The impact endures for two to five days.

Bleaching

Only girls with thin hair and relatively fused eyebrows are good candidates for lightening. Use cardinal measures in other situations, as strong fusion will still be noticeable, even with blond hair.

You can use these to make the eyebrows pop:

improvised means – peroxide of hydrogen, lemon;
special lightening colors;

clarifying cream.

Depending on the desired outcome, hair structure, and degree of pigment in the hair, the cream or paint is mixed according to the recommended ratio and applied to the hair for five to fifteen minutes.

It is not advised that girls lighten their hair:

with skin rashes on the nose;
tendency to allergic reactions;
With sensitive skin.

Shugaring and wax depilation

The process of depilation involves removing hair with particular mixtures without compromising the integrity of the hair follicle.

Though threading and tweezers are also methods of depilation, we will concentrate on depilation here utilizing:

Wax;
Sugar paste.

One benefit of both sugaring and waxing the nose bridge is that a large area can be treated at once, and the hairs will gradually lighten and thin.

Regarding the process:

Heat wax or sugar paste in a water bath or wax. The heating temperature of the pasta is 37-45 degrees, wax-from 40 to 55, depending on its variety. The main rule of heating when applying the composition to the face should not be discomfort – only tolerant heat;
Using a wooden spatula with a thin layer of distribution wax or sugar along the nose. Consider that wax is applied in hair growth, and sugar against growth. Leave the solidification agent by fixing a spatula or toothpick on the edge, so that then there is something to tear off the layer;
After drying the layer, a quick, but not sharp movement to tear wax or paste. Sugar paste breaks over the growth of hair, and wax against growth.

Finally, use a calming lotion or cream to wipe the face to get rid of the redness and lessen the burning feeling.

The impact lasts for two to four weeks. The prolonged action of the procedures causes the nose hair to grow more slowly over time.

Cream for depilation

Let’s talk about depilation creams separately since they are also used to fix fused eyebrows.

A complex chemical composition found in depilation creams destroys keratin in the hair by stimulating the hair rod.

Using the cream is simple: just apply it to the affected area and let it sit for a few minutes, usually five to fifteen. Once the allotted time has elapsed, use a spatula to "gather" the lost hairs in the nose.

Absence of the technique increases the risk of allergic reactions and irritation. You can try this method if you don’t tend to get allergies.

After using cream for depilation, the results last for five to ten days.

Laser hair removal

Long-lasting results are the primary benefit of laser eyebrow correction, but there are certain drawbacks as well:

a wide list of contraindications. Including: skin damage, hypertension, epilepsy, diabetes, cancer at any stage, disorders of the endocrine system and thyroid gland, HIV;
high cost. One procedure for interbrow hair removal can cost from 700 to 2500 rubles. Several procedures may be required – from 2 to 5;
not suitable for light hairs. The less pigment in the hair, the less sensitive it will be to the laser, which means the result will leave much to be desired.

The procedure is only performed in the private practice of a licensed medical provider, specifically in the office of a trained specialist with medical training.

How the process is performed:

at the preparatory stage, the specialist determines the area of impact, in our case, this is the bridge of the nose;
the client puts on glasses that protect his eyes from bright flashes;
the specialist affects the area with a laser for 5-10 minutes.

The results of laser hair removal can last for up to five years, but the hairs don’t go away right away. Instead, they gradually fall out of the skin without leaving any trace behind as the integrity of the follicle is compromised.

Electrolysis

The application of electric current to the hair root is known as electrolysis, or electrolysis of the eyebrows. Due to the procedure’s high level of pain, local anesthesia is typically used.

Hair follicles exposed to current do not regrow, hence electrolysis is the only method that permanently removes hair. However, you should consider all the benefits and drawbacks before rushing to sign up for the procedure.

Yes, it is a highly desirable prospect to have the problem of fused eyebrows permanently solved, but electrolysis:

painful;
requires several procedures – usually 5-7 are carried out for eyebrows;
expensive – from 1,500 to 5,000 rubles per session;
potentially dangerous – an incompetent specialist can leave a burn, a scar, and also provoke the development of skin diseases;
has a wide list of contraindications. All the same as the laser, plus: mental disorders, metal intolerance, strokes and heart attacks, pregnancy and lactation.

Similar to laser hair removal, only medically licensed clinics can perform eyebrow electrolysis; at-home specialists are not permitted.

The procedure’s effects are permanent.

In men

Due to the thicker shaft and heavy pigmentation, men tend to have unibrows more frequently than women, and when they do, they tend to be more noticeable. Men who want to combat fused eyebrows are advised to use procedures that have a longer duration of effect:

laser hair removal;
wax and sugar depilation.

Men may find it inconvenient to constantly clean the bridge of their nose when threading their eyebrows or using tweezers to pluck hair.

It is preferable to have a specialist correct fused eyebrows as they will accurately identify the eyebrow’s beginning, choose the best hair removal technique, and create neat but natural-looking eyebrows.

In the event that laser hair removal is the method of choice to combat the unibrow, visit the eyebrow artist to choose the desired shape before visiting the clinic to consult with a specialist. The procedure cannot be carried out by an eyebrow artist who lacks medical training and licensure.

If a more delicate technique, such as depilation, was selected, then schedule the client’s periodic independent tweezing (the removal of point hairs) right away.

Many people naturally have fused eyebrows, which are formed where the eyebrows meet in the middle. Depending on personal taste, this look can be styled differently or embraced for its originality. Recognizing the cultural significance of fused eyebrows, taking proper care of them, and researching the best grooming options should you decide to separate or shape them are all part of understanding fused eyebrows.

Important tips

if you are not sure that you can carry out any of the procedures described above yourself – make an appointment with a specialist. Eyebrow correction does not tolerate mistakes, because it will take from 1 to 5 weeks to wait for the hairs to grow back;
do not carry out hair removal procedures too often;
try not to use eyebrow oils on the bridge of your nose – they stimulate hair growth;
be prepared to maintain the effect if you choose short-term methods of struggle. Between procedures, you will have to carry out point correction with tweezers;
do not forget that not only fused eyebrows make the image heavy, but also the shape of the eyebrows – in the fight against a unibrow, do not forget to correct the eyebrows, dye and style them. Only an integrated approach will help to return the image to lightness, naturalness and beauty.
