Eyebrow correction at home. How to make an eyebrow stencil at home? The best beauty recipes from Elena Krygina

To have attractive and well-groomed eyebrows, you don’t have to spend a lot of money on going to beauty salons. It is quite possible to put them in order at home. It doesn't require expensive tools or years of experience. Study the recommendations and basic rules for eyebrow correction presented in the article and feel free to start practicing.

Basic Rules

Have you decided to trim your eyebrows yourself? Don't make the correction in a hurry. Prepare everything you need in advance:
  • tweezers, wax or threads;
  • large mirror (preferably magnifying);
  • disinfectant;
  • cotton pads.
Before starting the procedure you should:
  • Wash your hands with soap and treat all instruments with a disinfectant. This way you will protect yourself from skin infections, redness and pimples, and inflammation.
  • Exfoliate the skin around the eyebrows. Rub the skin lightly with a not too hard cosmetic sponge or brush. Peeling will help remove dead skin and also increase blood flow to the treated area. Consequently, the correction will be less painful.

    Ideally, eyebrows should be tidied up after a shower, when the skin is as steamed and soft as possible.

  • Wipe your eyebrows with an antiseptic.
Subtleties of the procedure:
  • Perform corrections in bright daylight or at a dressing table in bright lighting. During correction, no shadow should fall on the face.
  • During the plucking process, constantly monitor the process, looking at the second eyebrow so as not to pluck extra hairs.
  • A little overdone? Use a pencil or shadow to “mask” the resulting gaps.
  • Don't let your eyebrows go. Regular correction is much easier than one-time correction.
  • Don't chase trends. Pay attention to your own oval and facial features, choosing the most attractive eyebrow shape.
  • Make adjustments as needed. Plucking with tweezers or thread does not give long-term results. The procedure will have to be repeated every 2-3 weeks (sometimes more often). When using wax, hairs grow back more slowly, and correction will be necessary once every 3-4 weeks.
  • Are your eyebrows too sparse or narrow? Have you gone overboard with plucking before? It makes sense to grow them out a little and only then make corrections.
  • To make your hair grow faster, lubricate it in the evening castor oil and comb thoroughly with a special brush. In just 3-4 weeks, eyebrows will become thicker and more luxurious.

Ways

There are several ways to give your eyebrows the correct shape and neat appearance.

A haircut

Only a few girls and women need it - those with very thick, long eyebrows that stick out at the sides. You can deal with these only with the help of scissors. Most girls and women can do without cutting their eyebrows and use tweezers or other, more gentle methods to correct them.

Eyebrows should be trimmed in the following cases:

  • the hairs are very long;
  • unruly hairs;
  • hairs curl and cannot be styled even with the help of special products.
A haircut should be done approximately once a month, depending on the speed of hair growth. During the first procedure, it is important not to overdo it. Eyebrow hairs that are too short will look unnatural and resemble male stubble.

Experts advise entrusting your first haircut to an eyebrow specialist. It will initially set the correct shape. You just have to support it.

Getting your eyebrows in order by trimming them at home is not difficult. To do this, you should prepare scissors that will be convenient to use. Many women choose manicures. The main condition is that they must be straight.

If finances allow, you can buy special professional scissors made of medical steel with rounded ends. They provide high-quality haircuts and also protect eyebrows from cuts.

Proceed as follows:

  • Using an eye pencil, draw the upper and lower boundaries of both eyebrows, having previously defined perfect shape in accordance with the oval of the face.
  • Comb your eyebrows thoroughly with a brush, pointing the hairs downwards. Did the hairs go beyond the drawn lower boundaries? They should not be trimmed.
  • The hairs have gone beyond the outlined line - take the scissors and start cutting off the excess in the direction opposite the hair growth. Try to keep the scissors parallel to the drawn contour line.
  • After this, comb your hair in an upward direction and also cut off the hairs that have already gone beyond the top line, also against the growth.
  • Gently comb your eyebrows with a brush and give them the desired shape.


It is not always necessary to trim the entire length of the eyebrows. Sometimes it is enough to shorten a couple of hairs by a few millimeters so that the eyebrows regain their neat, well-groomed appearance.

To make your eyebrows as symmetrical as possible when cutting, you should perform each stage on one eye at once, then on the other.

If necessary, you can combine correction methods: initially trim the protruding hairs a little with scissors and then proceed to plucking with tweezers.


An alternative to scissors when trimming eyebrows is a tool called a trimmer, which men use to groom their mustaches and beards. This will require some skill. Holding the device in your hands for the first time? Be as careful and attentive as possible. One wrong move can create a bald spot on your eyebrows, which will be difficult to get rid of.

Using tweezers

The tweezers method of eyebrow correction is the most popular and widespread among girls and women. of different ages. This is what young ladies most often use at home. The procedure must be performed as follows:
  • Apply a special emollient to the eyebrows and surrounding skin to reduce pain.
  • Apply powder to the eyebrows with a brush, using light smoothing movements in the direction of hair growth.
  • Draw with shadows desired shape.
  • Using tweezers, carefully remove excess hairs that do not fall into the area to be painted.
  • Rub your eyebrows and skin with an ice cube or apply an emollient cream to reduce painful sensations and irritation.
To use the tweezer method, you do not have to complete eyebrow courses. It is enough to “fill” your hand and initially give the eyebrows the correct shape, after which it will not be difficult to maintain them in a neat form.

The main disadvantage of the tweezer correction method is the rather high degree of pain of the procedure. However, most women tolerate tingling without problems.

Using thread

Another name is the Asian method. Suitable for patient and attentive girls who can long time concentrate attention. Eyebrow correction with thread is performed as follows:
  • Apply to eyebrows nutritious cream for softening.
  • Make a ring out of cotton or cosmetic thread, 50 cm long, tying its edges.
  • Twist the thread several times to make 2 loops.
  • During the procedure, the loops are held with the index finger and thumb.
  • We place the middle of the thread tightly to the place with unwanted hairs and we work like scissors - expanding the fingers on one side, and at the same time narrowing them on the other.


You can grab not just one, but 2-3 hairs at once to speed up the correction process.

It is quite difficult to perform correction using the Asian method at home, but it is possible.

This correction method has its advantages:

  • minimal irritation after the procedure;
  • almost complete painlessness;
  • longer lasting effect (for example, compared to the tweezers method);
  • can be used on sensitive skin.
The main disadvantage is the high painstakingness of the procedure and longer time for correction.

How to correctly carry out the procedure for eyebrow correction with thread followed by a haircut can be seen in the video clip from “Fashion and Style with Vera Bytko.”

Using wax

Quite a popular method of eyebrow correction, which is actively used not only in beauty salons, but also at home.

This is done as follows:

  • Clean the hairs and skin around the eyebrows using a special disinfectant solution.
  • Lightly powder eyebrows and the skin around them.
  • Draw the ideal desired shape with an eyebrow pencil.
  • Apply warm melted wax in a thin layer along the hair growth to the hairs that are outside the outlined lines.
  • Apply special fabric or paper strips, included in the kit and lightly press down with your hand.
  • Tear off the strips with a sharp movement against hair growth.

    To reduce pain, the skin can be slightly pulled towards the temples while removing the strips.

  • Delete using rich cream wax residue on the skin.
The main advantages of eyebrow correction with wax:
  • long lasting effect;
  • speed of the procedure;
  • the ability to remove the most inconspicuous hairs.
The main disadvantages of wax correction:
  • causes slight irritation on the skin, which goes away within 30-40 minutes after the procedure;
  • quite high degree of pain;
  • not suitable for very sensitive skin.
Is this your first time getting waxed? Take advantage of special ones. In this case, the risk of removing the desired hairs will be minimal.


Coloring

Many girls, even after correcting the shape of their eyebrows and getting rid of excess hair, don’t really like their eyebrows. The methods described above allow you to remove excess, but not get the desired thickness and color. And this is where coloring comes to the rescue. His main goal is to bring the final result of the correction to the ideal.

Pencil and shadows

The simplest and affordable way give eyebrows desired shade, thickness, add missing hairs. Eyebrow pencils are excellent for drawing contours, but do not allow you to cope with such problems as gray hairs. Shadows - have a softer texture, fit perfectly and paint over the eyebrow. Their main drawback is that they are not very durable and crumble within a few hours.

The advantage of using shadows and a pencil is that in case of failure, you can wash them off your eyebrows in just a couple of seconds.

Modeling gel

Newfangled cosmetic product, designed for modeling eyebrows. Intensively colors the hairs in the desired tone, and also fixes the desired eyebrow shape for several hours.

Ideally, you should have shadows, eyebrow pencils, gel, and a set of special brushes in your cosmetic bag. In this case, your eyebrows will always look perfect.

Eyebrow dye

Allows you to shape your eyebrows desired color and slightly tint the skin, hide bald spots. As a result, eyebrows will appear thicker and denser.

For coloring should be used special paints or in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. It is strictly forbidden to dye eyebrows with hair dye. The skin around the eyebrows is very sensitive. More caustic and aggressive formulations for curls can cause a severe allergic reaction.

In progress Special attention pay attention to the shade. An ideally chosen color will make your look more expressive, and the eyebrows themselves will look as natural as possible.

Step-by-step instructions for painting:

  • Wash your face or thoroughly wipe your eyebrows and skin with a cleansing toner.
  • Wear gloves and dilute the paint in the proportion recommended by the manufacturer.
  • Make sure all excess hairs have been removed.
  • Apply a thick layer of paint over the entire surface of the eyebrows to obtain the most durable and rich shade. Move from the inside top edge to the lower outer.

    Avoid getting paint in your eyes. Did trouble happen yet? Rinse your eyes with clean water as soon as possible.

  • Leave the mixture on your eyebrows for 10-20 minutes (the recommended time is always indicated in the instructions).
  • Remove paint cotton pads, generously dipped in rich cream.
Eyebrow experts do not recommend tinting more than once a month. Otherwise, the hairs will become too thin and lifeless. Besides, frequent coloring eyebrows increases the risk of developing various diseases eye.

Master class on tinting eyebrows with henna, followed by correction of the shape with wax, drawing a stencil and many others useful tips can be seen in the video.

Care after correction

To eyebrows for a long time saved after correction attractive appearance, you should follow simple recommendations:

As the heroine of Liya Akhedzhakova said from the movie " Love affair at work": “In our time, eyebrows are acquiring enormous importance.” And indeed, correctly painted eyebrows will give the face a unique zest and grace. I saw that there were already discussions on this topic, but I decided to do one more. Even their most unsightly eyebrows can be made into candy. First you need to shape your eyebrows:

1. If hairs grow rarely, then apply burdock or almond oil and in 2 weeks you will have something that can be shaped.

2. If you have thick ones, then we give them shape using the well-known mentally drawn lines.

Now that you have something to draw, just go ahead and draw it!

I use eyeshadow VOV No. 101 and two brushes:

1. Which combs hairs.

2. With which I draw. It should be thin and tough.

Let's go... just take it and draw.)))

1. Comb the eyebrow.

2. Tough with a thin brush mix two shades: dark brown and gray. We remove a little of what we took on the brush onto our hand so that we can apply only the shade to the eyebrow!

4. We do the same with the upper eyebrow line. Having stepped back a little from the beginning of the eyebrow, in one movement we draw a line to the bend.

5. From the arch to the end of the eyebrow, we will paint over the entire eyebrow.

6. Comb the eyebrow (especially up to the bend, in order to shade our lines).

Why do we draw lines up to the bend, and not even from the beginning of the eyebrow... If you draw the entire eyebrow, and even darken it equally, it will make you look older and you will get the effect of a tattoo. Therefore, we need to ensure that the eyebrow is smoothly darkened to the arch and there is a clear corner with a clear line from the arch to the end of the eyebrow.

Why shadows... if you don't know how to draw eyebrows at all, then starting to learn with a pencil is a mistake. Shadows are much easier and more convenient. Also, to learn how to draw them, go to a salon and have them decorated and painted for you. The paint will stain the skin and will last for two or three days, during which time you can practice tracing the shape that is painted.

If you do everything correctly, you will get very beautiful eyebrows.

There is no doubt that men consider the most expressive detail in a woman’s image to be her eyes. They are the mirror of the soul and deserve a worthy frame. Overgrown or improperly plucked eyebrows will ruin even the most skillful makeup. To prevent this from happening, they must have a well-groomed appearance and the correct shape.

There are two options: visit a beauty salon or perform this procedure at home yourself. I suggest choosing the second option, since the procedure itself is simple and, if desired, every woman can pluck her eyebrows on her own.

Choosing a form

There is no one correct form for everyone. To avoid making the wrong choice, look carefully in the mirror. What shape is your face? Based on the answer received, you need to decide correct form, and the following recommendations will help with this.

Round face - eyebrows should be shaped in such a way as to visually elongate the oval. Give them a pointed shape with a slight bend.

Triangular face - eyebrows have rounded shape, but do not overdo it - the line should be close to a straight line.

Oval face - perfect option, an eyebrow with a soft curve and a pointed end.

Long face - the eyebrow should be straight, which will visually round the face.

Once you have decided on the form, you need to try to execute it as correctly as possible.

Three important points

To get a clear idea of ​​where your eyebrow should start, where it should curve a little, and where it should end, I suggest using a pencil and the three-point rule.


First point: place the pencil against the side of your nose so that it passes through inner part eyes and touched eyebrows. Where the pencil and eyebrow intersect is the beginning of the eyebrow. All the hairs that we see on the other side of the pencil in the area of ​​the bridge of the nose are mercilessly removed.

Second point: the pencil still touches the edge of the nose with one end, but it will be directed to the eyebrow through the outer edge of the pupil. At the intersection we place a second point, where its bend will pass.

Third point: this is the point where the eyebrow should end, again we draw a line from the edge of the nose to the eyebrow, but through external corner eyes, pluck out all excess hairs.

If your eyebrows are shorter than needed, this can be easily corrected when applying makeup.

Preparation

Take a responsible approach to preparing the process. Make sure you have everything you need:

  • the mirror should be of such a size that when looking into it, you can see your entire face;
  • Ideally, you will need two tweezers, one with pointed tips for shaping, and the second with flat tips for final cleaning;
  • lotion that you will use to treat your eyebrows and tweezers before the procedure to avoid unnecessary inflammation;
  • bright daylight, with which you can see even the smallest and colorless hairs.

How to pluck eyebrows

To ensure that the procedure takes you a minimum of time, just listen to the following tips:

  • Wash your hands thoroughly and disinfect your eyebrows and the area around them with lotion. Don't forget the tweezers;
  • Before plucking a hair, stretch the skin a little on top, this will reduce pain;
  • To prevent “bald spots” from forming, pluck one hair at a time.

As you can see, everything is extremely simple. Do not forget that correction is necessary to maintain shape. Its frequency will depend on how quickly the hair follicles are restored.

IN Lately In salons, a procedure called hair removal using thread appeared. A very effective and indispensable method for those who have noticeable fluff or mustache on their face. After hair removal with a thread, its growth noticeably decreases and correction should be done less frequently than when removing hairs with tweezers.

Little secrets:

  • You need to pluck your eyebrows after you have washed or taken a shower: the pores on your face will expand a little and the procedure will be less painful. Hair will be removed better and you will avoid unwanted irritation;
  • Do not pluck your eyebrows immediately before going outside; after the procedure, the skin turns red and has a slightly swollen appearance;
  • After the procedure, run an ice cube along the eyebrow line - this will make the redness go away faster;
  • You need to remove the hair along the line of its growth, and not against it. An exception is if the removal procedure is performed using a thread;
  • Before plucking your hair, make sure you keep it as close to the root as possible so you don't break it;
  • Concentrate on the bottom; there is no need to pluck the hair at the top. Remember, the higher the eyebrow, the more expressive the eyes appear;
  • Hairs that you do not want to remove, but are too long, carefully trim with scissors;
  • To perform the procedure more accurately, use a mirror with a magnifying effect.

How to pluck eyebrows with thread

If you want to carry out the procedure at home, it is important to first watch several videos on this topic or use the following instructions:

  • Be sure to disinfect your skin before the procedure;
  • For more effective removal comb the hairs towards the forehead;
  • Take a thread 50 centimeters long and tie their ends together. Twist the resulting loop so that 8-10 turns are formed in the middle;
  • Take the resulting “bow” with your index finger and thumb each hand. Bringing the twisted section of thread to the face, we carry out the following manipulations: alternately spread and bring together the fingers of one hand, then the other. You need to move against the direction of hair growth;
  • After completing the procedure, if desired, you can make a cold compress of chamomile - this will relieve irritation.

At first this may take quite a long period of time, but with the acquisition necessary skills Hair removal time will be reduced to 5-10 minutes.

Advantages. This is the cheapest option. There is no need to buy tweezers or wax; a piece of thread can be found in every home. The form will be made as accurately as possible, which cannot be achieved by resorting to other methods. All hairs are removed along with the root and the result of this procedure lasts a long time.


Flaws . Pain cannot be avoided if you have low pain threshold– this procedure is not for you. If removed incorrectly, hairs will begin to grow into the skin, but this rarely happens.

I didn't always pay attention to my eyebrows.
No, of course, the extra hairs were plucked out once a week, I didn’t smear my eyebrows with anything to make them thicker and blacker... But I started highlighting them with the help of cosmetics quite recently, maybe two years ago. I walked around all so ordinary until I read somewhere that eyebrows and tone “make” the whole face, nothing can replace it like focusing on these areas! I took my first pencil from Chanel, as I remember now, with a pointed rubber tip, and ran it over the top thin line, rubbed it with an eraser and gasped! The face has changed, that's a fact!
The look clearly benefited from such proximity; it became clear, piercing, and the face and makeup, in general, were bright and expressive. It is also important that my slightly “leaky”, as I call it, impending upper eyelid visually rises and no one knows about it until I say it myself).

Do you know when I first plucked my thick black eyebrows? In Eighth grade, when I realized that my first love was also breathing unevenly for me) Feminine essence. And after all, I didn’t even receive a scolding from my mother, on the contrary, I received approval! I remember plucking it based on the advice of a popular magazine in the local library, so everything was fine with my eyebrows. They turned out to be flying apart and stood like a house.
After so many years, I haven’t changed the shape of my eyebrows, maybe they have become a little more defined than before.
What does it mean to read the right magazines as a teenager?

In short, the first thing I would advise my grown daughter is to pay attention to her eyebrows. They help shape like nothing else Beautiful face and a well-groomed appearance: if your eyebrows are in disrepair, no matter what makeup you do, no matter how beautiful your facial features are, they can easily ruin the whole impression. You need to be very careful when modeling them, or rather, giving your eyebrows the shape that would suit the oval of your face. I won’t dwell on this in detail; everything can be easily found in search engines. I have already found my form, now all I have to do is maintain it and not let it go.
By the way, I cannot grow my eyebrows back to their original state; apparently, this is no longer reversible.

Eskiden kaşlarıma pek dikkat etmiyordum. Tabiki arada fazlalıkları alıyordum fakat gözlerimin çerçevesine fazla dikkat etmeye 2 sene önce başladım. Hatırlıyorumkı ilk kalemı kullandıktan sonra yüzüm çooook değişti. Kaşlarım yapılıyken gözlerim daha çok ortaya çikiyor ve daha parlak ve büyük görünüyorlar. Kütüphaneden bir dergi aldım ve işlerimi bitirdim)

I divided the process into 3 stages to make it easier to understand.
Kaşlarım güzel olsun diyenler icin 3 adım:

1. Stage one - painless: shaping the eyebrows.
1. Adım acısız
Şekillendirme

Let's evaluate what we have:
Doğal kaş:

Quite shaggy, unplucked or trimmed eyebrows for two months (moving, friends!)

The eyebrows are like eyebrows, not thick, but not too short, the hair is dark and silky) This is what I call neglect:

"Beautiful eyebrows start above the inner corner of the eye and end a few millimeters further than the outer corner of the eye. The arch of the eyebrow is defined as follows: the most high point eyebrows should be at the intersection of the pupil and a line that conventionally goes from the center upper lip. You can determine this point by placing a pencil diagonally."

Decided on the form, go ahead!

Kendinize göre bir şekil seçın ve başlayın!

First, I comb the hairs properly up to the middle of the eyebrow:

It should look like this Leonid Ilyich in a skirt:

I cut with thin scissors exactly along the upper line of eyebrow growth:
(it’s very difficult to photograph yourself in this process, so it turned out crooked)

Then I comb the hairs from the middle of the eyebrow (more precisely, from its top point) down:

I trim them too. Lyudmila Prokofyevna comes out of Brezhnev, but we will fix this with the help of cosmetics:

The main thing is that the eyebrow line is clear, with no individual hairs or stumps sticking out.
I do the same with the other eyebrow:

We get the following:

2. Stage two is painful. Pluck out excess hairs.

2. Adım acılı

You know, I’m glad that I have thin and almost invisible extra hairs: the less often I pluck them, the slower they grow and are almost invisible to others. Girls with black and thick hair are less fortunate. I know cases where they pluck every morning! before makeup! otherwise, “stumps” are visible.

When plucking, I pay special attention to the beginning of the eyebrow, because you can overdo it there and end up with a huge bridge of the nose, and a ponytail - you can be left without it. I generally try not to go under my eyebrow too much; it’s already thin, but my efforts are diligent.
After crying a little, I go to apply ice - I have extreme sensitivity of the skin near my eyebrows, so I don’t trust anyone to do them - it hurts terribly!

By the way, I would like to advise people with the same problem one “stupidity”: before plucking, thoroughly rub the area with your finger - it will warm up a little and it won’t hurt so much). Well, or, if you want to tinker, apply a warm compress for 10 minutes, all the hair will come out without a squeak.

The redness subsides after about two to three hours, and I already do my eyebrow makeup, but if it’s not about blogging, I leave them until the next morning.

Bitirdikten sonra hep buz kullanırım biraz acımı alsın diye.Acıdan korkuyorsanız ilk önce problem yerinizi ısıtın ısınız daha rahat olur. 2-3 saat sonra kızarıklıklar gidiyorlar ve makıyajımı tamanlayabilirim.

Tools used:

Kullandıklarım:

Girls, I won’t write platitudes like use hydrogen peroxide, treat tools before and after, and blah blah blah... I don’t even do them, because for so many years of such indifference, even a pimple that suddenly popped up from an infection has never happened to me. It's up to you.

3. Stage three is beautiful. We accentuate eyebrows with decorative cosmetics .
3. Adım güzellik

And my favorite!
I love drawing eyebrows, I always do it, even if I go to the store for 10 minutes or walk with my child. Well, or almost always. Without them I feel naked, off...

Near the eyebrows I apply eye concealer, I have this

Kaşlarımı yapmayı seviyorum, hep yaparım yoksa rahat edemiyorumki...
İlk önce kapatıcımı suruyorum (Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place)

I rub it thoroughly with my fingers, making sure that the hairs do not get dirty. This will make the skin near the eyebrows and eyes uniform, deprive it of redness and traces of blood vessels, disguise imperfections, thereby highlighting your eyebrows:

Bitirdikten sonra hep üstünden açık renk farımı kullanırım:

The Body Shop Brow and Lash Gel.

I’m very pleased with it, although I can’t compare it with something similar, since this is the first eyebrow styling product in my arsenal. I like how it reliably, but at the same time softly and naturally fixes each hair, does not stick andAnd You can't feel it at all.
In addition, it has caring properties - from the day I started using it (probably a year and a half), the hairs on my eyebrows have become stronger, not thicker, no, but they fall out much less frequently than before.
Gel gray, because I'm too lazy to wash the brush every time after use - traces of shadows remain on it. It's actually transparent.
Its price is good: I remember I was sorry to buy styling gel from MAS, 42 liras, versus 20-something. So far I'm satisfied and won't watch anything else.

Ok sevdiğim bir ürün oldu. Kaşlarımı şekillendiriyor ve parlaklık veriyor. Kaşlarımın naturel ve doğal durmasını sağlıyor. Bir de sankı besliyor birazcik.

Well, let's see the result?

If we touch on the topic of eyebrow care, now this gel has replaced everything for me - practical and convenient. I can’t look at oils anymore, I’m so sick and tired of them: the pillow is always smeared, dirty dirty hair bangs (which annoy me the most) and little results. Although castor oil is powerful!

How are your eyebrows doing?
Do you give them great attention or so - they are there and it’s good)? How do you take care?
How did you choose your eyebrow shape?
Personally, I was faced with a small selection of eyeshadow shades similar to mine, thanks to Flormar! Did you easily choose the color of your eye shadow or pencil?

Thanks to Tanya for Turkish translate!

Taking care of your eyebrows is not just about maintaining their shape. Taking care of your eyebrows means promptly removing unnecessary hairs that grow outside the main eyebrow line. If some hairs are noticeably longer than others, they need to be trimmed. After this, you need to pluck out excess hairs that extend beyond the front and back ends of the eyebrows, as well as hairs that are below and above the main line of the eyebrows. To do this, you can use an electric trimmer, with which you can thin out too much thick eyebrows and shorten your hair.

Steps

How to cut hair with scissors

    Take a hot shower or just wash your face hot water. Hot water will open pores and soften hairs that are about to fall out. Take a shower as usual or simply wipe your eyebrows wet wipe moistened with hot water, press it to your eyebrows for 2-3 minutes.

    • If the gauze or napkin cools quickly, wet it again with hot water.
    • If you are short on time, you can skip this step. But if you have time, it’s better to do it as described above - this will simplify the procedure.
  1. Comb your eyebrow hairs with a special brush or comb with fine, fine teeth. You can take a special eyebrow comb (or just a clean one) toothbrush) and comb the hairs, pointing them upward. Start at the edge closest to the bridge of your nose and move towards the outer edge of your eyebrow. In addition, you will need to use a brush to hold the hairs in the desired position when you start trimming them.

    • IN as a last resort, you can hold the hairs with your finger to give them desired position and fold it up. But the eyebrow brush gets between the hairs, so it is more effective.
  2. Trim hairs using an eyebrow trimmer or nail scissors. Look at your eyebrows and think about which hairs are longer than the rest. Starting at the outer end of the eyebrow, trim along the top edge of the eyebrow.

    • It is recommended to use a special eyebrow trimmer or nail scissors because they have a sharper and thinner blade tip than regular scissors. Never trim your eyebrows with kitchen or office scissors!
  3. Now comb the hairs, pointing them down, and cut them again. As a final check of the overall length of the hair, you can comb the hairs down. Check to see if there are any long, stand-out hairs left. If there are any left, carefully trim them so that they match the length of the lower edge of the eyebrow.

    Remove any hairs that grow between your eyebrows. If you have a lot of hairs between your eyebrows, you can pluck them. Start plucking from the very center, gradually moving first to the edge of one eyebrow and then to the edge of the other eyebrow. The number of hairs you need to pluck depends only on your preference. But usually less is better than more.

    • Use your finger to determine how far apart your eyebrows should be. Place thumb right between the eyebrows and remove the hairs that are located under the thumb.
    • If you remove too many hairs, it will ruin the shape of your eyebrows and make them thinner. Usually guys don't like thin eyebrows.
  4. Remove excess hairs that grow above and below the main brow line. Use tweezers to find hairs that start well above the top edge of the eyebrow. Remove these single hairs. Look for hairs that grow well below the lower edge of the eyebrow (closer to the eyelid). Remove them.

How to trim hairs with an eyebrow trimmer

    Take a beard or eyebrow trimmer. If you are going to purchase such a device, it is better to buy an electric trimmer specifically designed for eyebrow shaping. But if you have a beard trimmer, you can use it. It is not recommended to use a hair clipper because the blade is too wide and will not be very precise when trimming your eyebrows.
