Unibrow refers to when your eyebrows actually appear to be one solid line of hair rather than two distinct eyebrows.

For most people, there is a distinct space of hair free skin between the eyebrows but for many people, hair that grows in this space gives the appearance of one big long eyebrow and it can be something they want to deal with.

In some cultures, unibrow (or monobrow) is often seen as being visually undesirable and both men and women can experience it.

Eyebrows are funny in that we tend not to spend much time thinking about them but they often become very noticeable when people start doing things to them like shaping or trying to minimize them.

In that regard, shaving your eyebrow hair is generally not considered to be an effective or desirable method to deal with unibrow since you could accidentally (and very quickly) shave too much hair which will really make your eyebrows noticeable, and for the wrong reason!

Here are some options that people often consider to remove unwanted eyebrow hair.

Tweezing: Using tweezers to pluck individual eyebrow hairs is a popular method of dealing with unibrow. Since it involves removing hairs by the root, it can hurt but can also help you achieve several weeks of hair removal if not longer. You might also consider using a professional (ie. in a beauty salon or clinic) to do it for you so that desirable results are achieved.

Waxing: As with the tweezing option, waxing can also give you several weeks or longer of hair free skin but given the relatively small space between the eyebrows, this might be a process best conducted by a professional lest you wax off more hair than you wanted.

Laser or Light-based treatment: Laser and light-based treatment can be a good option for unibrow removal since it may result in relatively long term hair removal of the unwanted hair. Given the size of the area that can be cleared with laser or light-based systems, unwanted eyebrow hair can usually be treated relatively quickly. Both processes need to be conducted by a professional so cost could be a factor in your decision.

Electrolysis: With Electrolysis, you might end up with permanent hair removal and since the space between your eyebrows is relatively small, Electrolysis is often a good choice to eliminate unibrow. Electrolysis can get expensive especially if multiple treatments are involved but it may offer you long term or even permanent results. As with laser and light-based options, Electrolysis needs to be conducted by a professional.
