My genes...I'm beginning to look like one of those kung fu
masters with selected strands of eyebrow hairs that I can twirl,
but just on one corner of the eye. Not so subtle hints have
been thrown my way by siblings. Googling revealed that
colleagues/friends won't mention anything even if it looks
gross.
So.
Much more googling later, I found that men should leave it to the
pros, like a barber. Now I know why the barber offered to
trim my eyebrow hairs without my asking. I was so surprised
that I said no, even though I've been thinking about the question
of how to trim them for some time. Now that I foolishly
turned it down, I want a quick, convenient, foolproof way to to do
this myself in between trips to the barber.
More googling reveals that a common way to do this is to place a
comb against the eyebrow and snip the strands that poke
through. However, Google also says that stiff/thick hair
tends to stick out and resist lying flat; those hairs should not be
cut as short. Obviously, the length depends on the stiffness
of the hair. One must proceed with caution because eyebrow
hair grows very slowly, and you will live with the results for
quite some time.
Here is the question. How foolproof is the comb/scissor
method? How likely is it for someone to have thick/stiff
enough hair that even the comb/scissor technique will leave the
strands standing right up insteadof laying flat?
