Sorry for the throwaway thread but I'm annoyed at my own ignorance and wanted to ask quick.
As the pic shows, I want the eyebrow to cut 'under' the hair, I want the strands to fall on top of it.
I've tried just erasing the pieces of the eyebrow that should be hidden but that results in 'blob' like shapes between the strands of hairs, not a uniform line.
I've tried grouping and joining the strands of hair (They're separate lines) and then using the Pathfinders and shape modes (Unite,Minus Front etc) to try and influence the brow.
Very new to illustrator, sorry if this question is basic as fuck, I don't really lurk here. Thanks in advance for any help.

You could just add a white background to your strands of hair. And of course put them on top of the eyebrow in the layer panel.

Can't you just give the hair a fill and put the eyebrow below it?

My aim was to have a flexible bit of line-work to do what I want with, It's just a personal project. So having a white fill for the hair would slightly ruin the thing I'm going for.
*But* if I were to do that: the hair is a messy collection of lines, do I just select all the lines, 'group' and then select fill?

You should use the pathfinder to cut out the pieces of overlapping the hair that you don't want, my best guess would be to make a shape over the areas you don't want and use "minus front" for pathfinder, pathfinder is essential to illustrator so I would recommend learning it if you don't know it already, super easy and super effective

Take the hair strands, c/p, merge them into a single path and extend the path so that if it were filled it would overlap the eyebrow completely, overlay the new path onto the original, select new hair path and eyebrow, create clipping mask
(pic related)
OR
Expand apperance on the eyebrow so it's no longer a stroke and then use the pathfinder to remove the bits hidden by the hair

Not OP, but have my own question not deserving a new thread
I'm trying to space these dots evenly so I can make a leather pattern I can laser cut, but this isn't even at all.
I am using the Object -> Blend -> Blend Options / Replace Spine method but it's being a cunt.

Make a custom brush and apply it to a stroke path.
