Many people have neither the time nor the money to go to a salon regularly to shape and pluck their brows. When it's time, instead, you stand in front of the mirror with the tweezers in full swing, and it's not difficult to get the concept of how you want your brows to look. What was supposed to be a small refresh quickly becomes manic plucking where one plucks hair by hair. Below we list 4 tips for the best way to pluck your brows yourself with tweezers!
1. Use good tweezers!
To ensure that it goes as simply, smoothly and painlessly as possible, the quality of your tweezers is very important. An eyebrow tweezer should have an oblique shape and be really wet. This will facilitate the whole process enormously and prevent you from breaking off the strands halfway through or damaging the hair follicle. It is also a good idea to use brow scissors for upffräschning. Our brow tweezers Brow Tweezers meet all the requirements of a really good tweezer. With an ergonomic grip and extra thin cutting blade, it gives you the best conditions for effective hair removal. (Psst, we also have a lifetime warranty on this product...)
2. Take help of your eyebrow pencil!
After you have first thoroughly cleaned the area around your eyebrows, it may actually be a good idea to pick up your eyebrow pencil or other product that you use to create the desired shape on your eyebrows. All the hairs that end up outside your styling are the hairs that you can now carefully start plucking away.
3. Correct technique!
Make sure that the tip of your tweezers always lies along the root of your hair and use your other hand to keep the skin around your eyebrow taut. This ensures that you minimize the risk of not getting the entire strand of hair, pinching the skin and reducing unpleasant pain. Dabbing warm water on the area you're going to pluck using, for example, a cotton pad can also make everything easier, as the warm water seems to open up your hair follicles, or why don't you put it on after the shower?
4. Take a step back from the mirror!
During the time you pluck your brows, you like to stand as close to the mirror as possible, but to ensure that you get your brows in the desired shape, it is a good idea to take a step back from the mirror during the time. Seeing your brows from a short distance will give you a clearer picture when it's time to put the tweezers away.
It doesn't actually need to be more difficult than this. As with everything else, it is practice that makes perfect and that you find the way that suits you best.
