Bushy brows

Avoid the Doc Brown look

Bushy brows
07 November 2011

Q: I want to know if there is a gadget out there that can cut my eyebrows and thin them as I'm fed up plucking them or cutting them.

Hi Edward,

Yup, there are mini trimmers out there that are designed especially for bushy brows. They normally have a comb with two length settings and they’re pretty easy to use. A word of warning though, always start on the longer setting before you start shaving – grooming your eyebrows can have a surprisingly dramatic effect on the rest of your face, so go about the job with caution.

Wahl make a handy Micro Finisher Personal Trimmer (£11.49 from wahl.co.uk) which will do the trick. BaByliss, on the other hand, have managed to put together a multipurpose 6-in-1 Personal Grooming Kit (£15.99 from boots.com), that you can use to tackle ear and nose hair too.

You can also use something like Givenchy Mister Eyebrow Fixing Pencil (£15 from Debenhams.com) to smooth down your brows if they’re growing in all directions. Don’t worry, it’s completely transparent and just holds the hairs in place like a normal hair styling product.
