    Beyond the razor method, you can also use clippers or tweezers, with the latter being my professional recommendation. Make sure you know what you're doing, or you risk ruining your eyebrows.
  • Question
    Will the hair grow back if I stop shaving that part?

    Yes. It might take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months, but it will grow back.
  • Question
    Does the slit mean anything bad? My dad told it's a gang thing.
    Community Answer
    No. It's just a thing that's meant to look cool without any kind of meaning to it.
  • Question
    Can I use an electric razor? Should I get permission from my parents to do this?

    Community Answer
    You can use an electric razor, just go slow and steady and make sure you aren't shaving too much. You should always get permission from a parent before doing something like this, as they may not approve and/or could help you do it.
  • Question
    Can concealer make my eyebrows fall out?
    Community Answer
    No, concealer will not make your eyebrows fall out.
  • Question
    Can I use hair removal cream instead of razor?
    Brooklyn Cooper
    Community Answer
    That is not recommended, because the toxic chemicals in the cream can blind you if you're not careful. It also isn't as precise.
  • Question
    Do I need tape?

    You don't need tape, but you'll have to create the slit a different way. Take a brow brush, brush your brows up and cut down the hair with an electric brow shaver to make it shorter. Brush your brows back into the shape you like them. Take your electric brow shaver and shave a slit or two into your brows.
  • Question
    Have you done this to your eyebrows? Do you recommend it?
    Cecilia Flores
    Top Answerer
    I've done it for Halloween and cosplay, but not for school. I think it's cool once in a while, but unless you actually have a scar in your brows that cuts through the hair, then it's not super great.
  • Question
    On which eyebrow do I want to have the slit?
    Community Answer
    Whichever brow you think would look best on you.
  • Question
    Could I use foundation instead of concealer?
    Community Answer
    Yes. You could either apply it thoroughly on the same section of skin, or dampen you foundation (if it's a powder) and apply it with a makeup brush.
  • Question
    Do I put the slit on the arch of my eyebrow or what?
    Community Answer
    You can put it anywhere you wish. There's no correct or incorrect place to make slits on your brows.
  • Question
    What if I ask my parents and they don't approve, should I still do it?
    Elizabeth Bolster
    Community Answer
    No. You should always listen to your parents. If they don't want you to do it you shouldn't do it.
  • Question
    Does a slit mean you are gay?
    Claire Compton
    Community Answer
    It's a common stereotype for lesbians to have a slit in their eyebrow, but many straight people still rock this look! Do whatever makes you feel confident!
  • Question
    If I slit my eyebrow without my parents consent would I be able to cover it in a way that they won’t tell anything’s there or will it be obvious?
    Claire Compton
    Community Answer
    Yes! You can fill in your brow with a brow pencil, or you can use eyeshadow the same color as your eyebrow to cover it. Remember to be wary after showers, swimming, or anytime water touches your eyebrow.
  • Question
    If i use the razor will it cut my skin?
    Jayden Trento (STUDENT)
    Community Answer
    No, if you are careful and precise, then it should not cut into your skin. But it also depends on what kind of razor you are using, say electric or just a normal razor.
  • Question
    Does the eyebrow grow back crazy?
    Jayden Trento (STUDENT)
    Community Answer
    No, it will not grow back longer/crazier but it will grow back eventually.
  • Question
    Does it mean anything bad to have a slit? Is it okay for school?
    Top Answerer
    Yes, to should be fine to go to school with an eyebrow slit. It doesn't really mean anything bad. It's like having a mohawk, dyed hair, or piercings: those things might get looks, but nothing is wrong with having any of these.
  • Question
    How long does a slit in the eyebrow take to grow back?
    Savannah Vold
    Community Answer
    Eyebrow hair usually takes between 3-4 months to grow back. If you want to encourage hair growth in your eyebrow area, apply 1-2 drops of rosemary oil to your brows daily.
  • Question
    When you do the slit, does the hair grow back the same, or will it be thicker?
    Savannah Vold
    Community Answer
    Contrary to popular belief, shaving does not affect the thickness or color of the hair, nor does it make hair grow back more quickly. So, if you're worried about your eyebrow hairs growing back thicker, they should be the same as before you shaved them.
  • Question
    Should I shave up, down, right, or left on the left eyebrow (from my perspective)?
    Savannah Vold
    Community Answer
    If you're shaving your right eyebrow, you will hold the razor perpendicular to the brow and shave to the left or against the grain of your eyebrow hair. If you're shaving your left eyebrow, this will be vice versa.
