While this is all well and good, newcomers to eyebrow maintenance may not realize some of the rules. There are a few things you should know before you begin. This way, there won’t be any surprises. You’ll also have a better chance of getting perfect eyebrows for your face.
There is more than one method to eyebrow maintenance. You’ve likely already heard of eyebrow plucking or tweezing. This is the most popular method of eyebrow hair removal. You may not know that there are several other methods as well.
You could try eyebrow waxing, which is a very fast way to get rid of all unwanted hairs. This is best done by a professional, though. Then there’s eyebrow threading. This is always done by a professional. They take thread and wind it around your unwanted eyebrow hairs. They twirl and pull, and all the hair comes out. The benefit to this is that you can get a lot sharper and cleaner lines.
Eyebrow hair removal hurts. That’s right, you’re going to feel it. When each hair is pulled out, you’re going to be in some amount of pain. This is the case with all methods of eyebrow maintenance.
There is a way that you can cut down on the pain, though. Right before you tweeze, wax, or thread, warm up your skin. Do this by running a wash cloth under warm water – the warmer the better. Then, wash your face with this warm water, paying extra attention to your brows. The warmth and exfoliation will open up the eyebrow hair follicles. This makes it easier for the hair to come out, and will lessen the pain.
You’ll have to maintain your eyebrows often. Eyebrow hair grows back pretty quickly. You may find that there are beauty-reducing hairs within a week or two of getting rid of them. This is the case for everyone and is a way of life. That means you’ll have to go through the whole process all over again.
It’s better to get rid of hairs right when they grow back. When you get rid of them right away, you have a better idea of what your brows should look like in the end. If you wait, you may have to go through the whole process of finding the perfect eyebrow shape again.
As you can see, there’s a lot to know when it comes to taking care of your eyebrows. The more you know about it, the better your chances are of having the best brows for your face. If all else fails, you can have it taken care of by a professional. Just keep in mind that you may have to do some slight eyebrow maintenance yourself in between sessions.
