Plucking eyebrow

Tweezing individual hairs is not suitable for everyone and opting to pluck in less than ideal circumstances can lead to uneven eyebrows excessive pain or even eye injury Individuals with the following conditions should consider different methods for removing eyebrow hairs

If your hands are not steady

If you are very nervous about having objects near your eyes

If your eyebrows are very fine and light making individual hairs difficult to see

If your eyebrows are especially overgrown or bushy and need more drastic action than removing a few hairs

If you have extremely sensitive skin or are very sensitive to pain

If plucking is not for you there are a number of alternatives available to still obtain shapely luxurious eyebrows

Seek professional services at a beauty salon the technicians may pluck wax or trim brows and can do so with far less inconvenience than home treatments

Investigate waxing your brows instead to remove all the hairs at once

Choose prewaxed stencils for quick shaping

Groom brows carefully with a miniature brush and specialized clippers to eliminate the need for hair removal altogether

Removing eyebrow hairs one at a time takes more skill than simply pulling them out To minimize potential problems and the inherent pain of the process it is important to choose the appropriate tweezers and take the proper steps for a safe easy treatment

Tweezers for eyebrow shaping should have a firm grip with a semiblunt tip Very pointed tips can be dangerous when working near the eyes but tips that are too blunt will grab more than one hair at a time and cause excessive pain as the hairs are removed improperly Several brands of tweezers are available with nonslip grips on the arms as well as attached magnifying glasses for delicate work Choose tweezers that feel comfortable and can easily grip one hair without disturbing nearby hairs

Ice can numb brows before beginning To achieve a great eyebrow shape through plucking consider the following steps

Determine the desired eyebrow shape and trace or mark it directly on the brow

Numb eyebrow area with ice if desired to minimize pain Be sure to dry brow completely or the tweezers may not have as firm a grip on each hair

Grasp individual hair firmly taking care not to grip multiple hairs at once

Pull hair out firmly in the direction of its growth for smooth removal that does not break the hair

Pause briefly to let pain subside if desired before continuing with additional hairs

Evaluate results after every few hairs to avoid removing too many

Even if you choose to wax your brows instead it may be necessary to pluck hairs that do not adhere to the wax properly or to refine the brow shape as additional hairs grow in With practice it only takes seconds to pluck hairs for a smooth flawless look

In addition to eyebrows many women choose to tweeze other hairs as well While this technique is not suitable for removing large areas of hair it can be used on the upper lip chin jaw line or bikini area to remove random stray hairs or to touch up another hair removal technique for the best results
