Haircut

I got a haircut today. As the lady was doing the final touch ups (sideburns, behind the ears, back of neck) she quickly zapped between my eyebrows. I mean, it was speeding-bullet like speed. It makes me wonder if she was thinking about it the whole time she was giving me a haircut. Like: “Oh my god, I need to do something about this guy’s eyebrow. Doesn’t he have anyone at home who loves him enough to tell him that he needs to fix it? But how can I do it without making him feel bad? Maybe I can do it without him even noticing.”

Well I did notice. And so did my eyebrow(s). It’s (They’ve) been all Michael Jackson out in public ever since. It’s (They’re) very self-conscious.

I just don’t get why someone as hot as you is constantly worried about looks. =/

Once you start shaving/plucking you can’t stop. Be careful!!!!

Welcome to the club, Bro!!!

Don’t think of it as a bad thing. Think of it as being super efficient. While normal people need two eyebrows, people like us just need one mighty unibrow. No more will you need that pesky letter ‘S’ to describe those tufts of hair above your eyes you can just describe it as “THE BROW”.

Okay so it still doesn’t sound good you. But at least you can start parking in the handicapped parking spaces at the mall (you may want to check the local laws in your area to verify that).

Thank goodness it’s only hair. No! No! Wait! Don’t panic! I just mean that it grows back! In my experience brow hair grows pretty fast, considering. You’ll be back to the singular brow before you know it. Relax. Breathe. We still love you.

Those ladies at Mossa are quick with clippers that’s for sure. Just be glad it wasn’t scissors and your nose hair. Now that can give you a complex, and an emarrassing scar if you flinch.

You look great! Sadly the unibrow is not limited to the males in the family. It’s a bloody business indeed. The first time I tried my own, I was reduced to a whimpering mess after only three plucks! Other remedies I’ve tried have all had their own risks.
1) home waxing – risk: ripping off your entire eyebrow
2) beauty parlor wax – risk: looking like a mutant vulcan
3) beauty parlor wax 2: risk: getting a seriously sadistic beautician who ‘forgets’ to numb the area first and then still looking like a mutant vulcan
Though my brows are still pretty awful, I found my own home remedy to at least keep them at bay. Use icepacks and orajel (it’s not just for cavatives) and take a huge swig of nyquil and then pluck away.

I used to have a unibrow myself but my boyfriend censored it. Insists I never let it go back to the way it was. As I’m totally tamed, I just go along with it. And really, it does look a tad better. You’ll get used to it.

The same thing happen to me! I let it grow back out and watched the hairdresser like a hawk the next time to prevent further deforestation.

I don’t have the full on unibrow, just some connectors, so I don’t bother removing them. If it was a full one, I might separate them, but I’m not a big fan of overly groomed eyebrows on men. I think they often look fake.

Try not to worry about it, it will grow back soon. Besides, with all the cute and nerdy you have going on, who’s going to care about your eyebrows?

Better you should look like (60 Minutes) Andy Rooney???

Ipsey-Pipsey.

You’re STILL muy caliente!

Happy Holidays, buddy!

I’m sorry to be the one to break it to you, but it is only going to get worse. After a few years you’ll have to add nostrils and ears to your list of hair-related woes. Be prepared for the day when your hair stylist swipes at your ears!

Good luck with all that, and nice haircut, by the way.

I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog and your part in Gay Bloggies! I hope you win 1st!

Your brow situation might not be so obvious if you didn’t walk around with your finger between the brows, like in the photo.

Kidding….seriously, would you just stop. Nobody’s even gonna notice the un-brow, they’re just gonna see all that cuteness.

HUGS…

I’ve got three names for you: Samson. Veronica Lake. Felicity. What do they have in common you ask? Their power was in their hair and when it was cut they suffered greatly. I’m hoping that will not be true of your beloved uni-brow but I’ll pray for you just in case. Happy holidays!
