How to Get Rid of a Unibrow

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Run hot water over a corner of a washcloth.

   Using only the corner will allow you to get your unibrow wet without dripping on your whole face.
   
   Another option is to pluck your unibrow directly after getting out of the shower.
   
   The warm water and steam of the shower will have opened up your pores a great deal.

   If there are particularly difficult hairs to pluck, use your other hand to pull your skin and make it taut.
   
   Be careful not to pluck too much of your eyebrow.
   
   Continuously step back to see your results and determine how far you want to pluck.
   
   To figure out where your eyebrow should begin, hold a thin brush vertically at the edge of your nostril and check where it lands along the brow line.
   
   That point should be the center starting point of your eyebrow.
   
   Repeat this process for both sides of your face., Start from the bottom of your existing eyebrow and work your way upwards.
   
   Again, continuously step back and look in the mirror, checking to make sure that you are not plucking too much of your eyebrow.
   
   Try to create an arch in your brow.
