My bf has quite big eyebrows, do you think he should keep them big or pluck/wax then. Don't want anything feminine, just maybe a clean up?! Suggestions?!
I wouldnt touch them... unless he had a unibrow... once your start messing with men's eyebrows it starts to look goofy they arent like us and wont want to continue the maintenance regularly...
One, how long have you been dating? Lol, he may not take well to you wanting to "fix" his brows.
In my opinion only touch then at all if he has a unibrow. And either wax it if there is a lot or pluck if there is only a few. Men are complete babies when it comes to pain on their face! Lol. Good luck!!
alot of guys don't like for their eyebrows to be touched. atleast he doesn't have hair all over the place some guys have their eyebrow hair going all over the place and its so gross and unattractive !, but in all honesty his eyebrows are fine compared to other guys eyebrows that are completely ugly don't start messing with them cause then they will start to look girly and it will really look weird.
Thanks ladies! We have been together just over 4 years! His "guy" friends comment on them but I think they are fine!! I will show him this for a confidence boost!! Thank you all so much! Happy new year!!
Seriously ? It's his eyebrows ! He's a dude !! I pluck the middle of my boyfriends maybe once every 6 months ? But no waxing and plucking and threading them often or to a unnatural looking shape which it will come out looking unnatural cause its a guy lol.
I think it's ok to trim up the middle and trim up any wild hairs that get long. I really don't like guys that shape their brows. It makes them look like Jersey shore.
Guys should only pluck their eye brows if they have a unibrow or they need tidying up A LITTLE. You should never try to make them smaller (obviously unless they cover half of the face) or reshape them or anything. It just doesn't look right. I would say your boyfriends brows are perfectly fine!
My boyfriend actually has big bushy eyebrows also. A few years ago I brought him into the bathroom, sat on his lap and went to town!! He was a little hesitant at first, like you said, he was nervous I'd make him look like me lol. I just got rid of the stray hairs under his eyebrows and cleaned up the middle to make them look better. Now, he's learned to do it himself and he sits in front of the mirror often to pluck =)

I thread my boyfriends eyebrows to remove stray hairs and his mono brow! It's easy to learn and far more effective than plucking! Good luck

What?! Big thick brows are so sexy on a guy. He shouldn't do a thing to them. Screw his guy friends, they look good!
