Is there anything I can do about hair on my forehead that grows above my brows?


Many women have unwanted hair in various places. And while contending with extra fuzz between the brows, above the upper lip, and even on the chin may be more common, there are many women like you who struggle with excess hair on their foreheads, and a Japanese razor might be the right tool to help.
Here's what you need to know before shaving your forehead:
  1. I suggest picking up Sephora's eyebrow razor (which is made in Japan), Noxzema's eyebrow shaper, or a personal eyebrow trimmer — these are basically mini personal razors that are designed to maneuver around your brows.
  2. Use an eyeliner pencil to draw a line where you want the hair to stop, and be conservative. Take a little off one side, then the other, and keep going back and forth so you're able to keep your brows and your hairline even.
  3. Keep in mind that stubble will grow wherever you shave, just as it does on your legs. You will also be susceptible to ingrown hairs, so make sure you exfoliate before shaving.
  4. If you get razor burn with whiteheads, dab a bit of nonprescription benzoyl peroxide on the area to dry up the breakout.
  5. To avoid razor cuts, don't press too hard — the skin on your forehead is thinner and has more blood flow than the skin on your legs.
  6. Don't use a magnifying mirror when shaving your forehead, because you may end up taking off too much hair. Stand back and take in the full picture for the best results.
