    The length of time it takes for your hair to grow back varies on each individual. Your hair growth rate will be based on how fast your hair typically grows. However, the shaving method has shown growth to occur sooner than with the other methods as shaving does not pull the hair out of the root.
  • Question
    What do I do if my mom won't let me remove my unibrow, but I still have to remove it because it makes me look so ugly?
    Community Answer
    Just remove them with some tweezers in the bathroom when she isn't looking. She'll get pretty angry, so it might be best if you ask her again before attempting this.
  • Question
    How do I permanently remove my unibrow?
    Community Answer
    Laser treatment is the only way to permanently get rid of hair.
  • Question
    Can I pluck my brows with my hands?
    Community Answer
    No. Your fingers aren't going to have enough grip or precision as other methods would. It would take a lot longer for less attractive results.
  • Question
    Can I use small scissors?
    Community Answer
    You can try, but it will be very time consuming and easy to mess up. The scissors also won't give you the closest "shave" and you'll be more likely to end up with a fuzz or stubble between your eyebrows.
  • Question
    Do these methods work on mustaches, too?
    Community Answer
    Yes, but shaving your mustache is a lot quicker and much less painful than waxing or tweezing.
  • Question
    Will waxing my unibrow make it grow back thicker?
    Community Answer
    No, the hairs will actually grow back slower than shaving, since they have to grow from the roots.
  • Question
    Will regular powder work instead of baby powder?
    Community Answer
    Yes, as long as that particular powder is safe for your face. For example, you can try makeup setting powder.
  • Question
    Do I have to have the waxing kit?
    Community Answer
    No, you may also use tweezers.
  • Question
    If I use any of the methods, will it grow back the same or thicker?
    Community Answer
    It shouldn't grow back thicker if you use one of the waxing, tweezing, or cream methods. However, shaving your unibrow may cause it to grow back thicker than before.

  • Question
    Is there any harm in using the DAY method? Is it safe and painless?
    Community Answer
    It's perfectly safe, seeing as it's made up of natural ingredients. The only part that may be a bit painful is ripping the brow off, but that's easy to get through quickly.

    Look around your house for tweezers. Use them to pluck your brows.

    I'm a kid. What do I do?

  • Question
    I have a spot and an unibrow. Can I still do it with the spot there, or will it hurt? Also, do these methods hurt, and how much?
    Cecilia Flores
    Top Answerer
    Any method of pulling out hair (waxing, plucking, threading) is going to hurt. Shaving or trimming your hair only cuts it at the surface of the skin, so it shouldn't hurt.
  • Question
    Can I use tape to get rid of unibrows?
    Community Answer
    No, tape will not do anything. Waxing is the best option, or plucking if you're patient.
  • Question
    Where do I get a wax kit?
    Community Answer
    You can get them at drugstores like Walgreens, or Walmart may have them. If you don't have anything like this in your area, you can buy them on Amazon or make DIY wax.
  • Question
    Is it okay if I use tape to wax it?
    Community Answer
    No, tape does not have enough force to pull the hairs up, it will not do anything. Try the other methods mentioned in this article.
  • Question
    Does using hair removing cream have any downsides or risks?
    Community Answer
    For some people, hair removing cream can cause irritation if it is left on for too long, but mostly there are no downsides. Using depilatory cream and shaving has almost the same effect, so if you don't like shaving, then using cream will have the same result.
  • Question
    Can I use duct tape and then rip it off after 5 minutes?
    Cecilia Flores
    Top Answerer
    No! It's not strong enough to pull out all the hair, it's so much more painful than other methods (other than threading), and the adhesive could cause a reaction on your skin.
  • Question
    What should I do if I am only 11?
    Community Answer
    Try plucking until you become more comfortable with yourself. Then, as time moves on, try other techniques. Remember to maintain often and do not hurt yourself. Also, don't overdo it.
  • Question
    Will my hair grow back faster with waxing?
    Community Answer
    No. Waxing usually lasts longer than shaving, because you are getting the hair out at the roots.
  • Question
    If I have shaved it once, and then I wax it, will it grow back thicker?
    Community Answer
    No. Shaving does tend to make the hair stubbly when it grows back, but once you've waxed, you've completely removed the hairs including the roots, and they will grow back completely new and should look like your original hairs before you did anything to them.
  • Question
    Can I use white sugar instead of brown?
    Community Answer
    Yes, the texture is the same, so it should have the same effect.
  • Question
    How can I stop it growing back if I wax it once a month?
    Community Answer
    The only way to permanently remove a unibrow is to get laser treatment.
