So let’s begin our journey to maintain those bushy eyebrows with all that we have from the comfort of our homes.
Our Simple 5 strategy plan to get you the right shape:
1) Use Dual mirrors
- Your dressing table mirror might not suffice alone in this scenario. You would need a magnifying mirror to check out the minute hair when tweezing, but to take a precise look at the larger picture a big mirror is highly recommended so that you do not over pluck making your eyebrows look wonky.
2) Tweeze few strands only
- Over tweezing is a strict no-no as it may affect your hair growth in the future.
- Some experts suggest that you must leave your brow untouched, apply castor oil to experience fuller and thicker brows and then pluck the stray hairs all at once when they have sufficiently grown, while others recommend that daily plucking a few strands would assist is adhering to the shape and ease the painful experience.
- It is also advisable to take a hot shower or place a hot compress before you commence the procedure to soften the skin opening up the pores thus making hair removal painless.
- A sharp pair of tweezers is a must, making sure that you pull out only one hair in the direction of hair growth. The skin must be pulled tightly to ensure easy latching of tweezers to the hair decreasing any discomfort.
3) Stick to your natural brow shape
- To mark your natural brow shape start by placing a pencil at the inner corner of your left nostril facing towards the forehead: this is your starting point.
- Keeping the pencil in the same line of direction, move it past the eyelids to the other corner of the eye: this is your endpoint.
- The brow bulge or arch can be determined by placing the same pencil at a 45 degree from the nostril. Try to focus only on the rouge hair around the eyelid and under the brow bone.
4) Trimming for a final touch
- Trimming any hair beyond the shape of the brow after the tweezing will let you regain the perfect look.
- You will need a sharp pair of scissors and a spoolie brush to brush all the hair up. Anything that stands beyond the shape of your brow is what you trim.
- But be a tad be careful as you must be patient and do it slowly to avoid a disastrous eyebrow grooming session.
5) Eyebrow Waxing
- This is a great option to get rid of the minute hair easily than tweezing or threading. In addition to this, it leaves the skin looking softer and smoother due to the exfoliating properties of wax.
- Though this is recommended under strict professional supervision, if you have the guts you can give it a try.
- Wax must be primarily tested on the hand first before applying it to the brow to check the temperature.
- Only the unwanted bulk hair surrounding the main brow should be waxed, keeping the brow shape intact.
- A perfect shape can be achieved later by tweezing the extra unwanted hair. Tightly hold the skin before pulling the strip to prevent skin lifting and hurting.
Is Eyebrow tinting safe?
