by Want Perfect Eyebrows? Consider These Tips By Itoro Oladokun There are ways you can style or shape your brows that will appear tiring and overwhelming. Don’t worry so much and be kind enough to relax, because no two brows are the same (seriously — stare closely at all of your friends, please). [ad] This means the journey to getting the ‘perfect’ eyebrows is going to look a little different for everyone. That said, there are some general tips, tricks and hacks you can try out to help get you there. These tips will ease the frustration and help you achieve the perfect brows you have always admired. Start A Basic Routine Getting perfect or near-perfect eyebrows requires some basic routine. For virgin brows (and every other type of brows; whether microbladed or tinted), you want to pamper them as you would a newborn (You heard right!). This simply means that when you’re cleaning and exfoliating and waxing your skin with your lovely skincare products, you want to pay close attention to the skin around the eyebrows and also cleanse the brows as you’re cleaning your skin. Moisturise as usual and ace the eyebrow care routine. The daily moisturisation helps the skin around the eyebrow not to wrinkle and age untimely. So, include this and see your brows giving you all it suppose to give. Don’t Pull Or Pluck Your Brows Okay, sometimes it seems convenient to just pull and pluck those long and thick hairs off your face with your hands and be done with, but don’t, as you might not really get that fine brows you have always loved. Rather, grab a Tweezer (a small device used to pull tiny things) and take out those hairs you feel are disturbing. However, it is important to note that for a healthy brow, you must allow it for some time so that when you’re shaping, it comes out just ‘perfect.’ Do: Using a clean spoolie (a very small brush used especially to groom the brows), brush the brows up and trim any excess hairs poking up. Then, brush the hairs downward and trim any hair strays using brow-shaping scissors or blades. After you've trimmed up, use tweezers to nix any hairs that fall outside your brow map. Then, fill in with brow pencil or powder for a polished and defined look. Don’t Use A Black Shade Of Pencil Do not use a black pencil or a darker shade of colour on your brows, except if you have naturally dark brows that match the dark colour and your skin. This is because it won't give it all the embellished and defined look and classiness they deserve. Do: Use a brow gel to tame any unruly hair. The gel is to be used sparingly; hence, to avoid over usage, wipe the brush on the tip of the gel tube. You can also use a pencil that is slightly lighter than your brows or powder to cover white hairs after which you apply your concealer to give it a well-groomed look. The concealer should be just a little lighter than the colour of the pencil you used to outline your brows. Use your highlighter to highlight the brows Make Them Grow Do your brows have low density and look like unfriendly foes? Relax; don’t lose your heart! You’re not the only one on this table. All you have to do is massage some cold-pressed oils (mostly overnight) to your brows. You can do this with the help of a cotton swab or just your fingers. Do It Yourself (DIY) that works effectively and you can try from the comfort of your home is a mixture of onion juice, fenugreek seeds and egg white. Coconut Oil: This is enriched with nutrients that help nourish hair strands and reduce hair damage and breakage, which further strengthens the hair. Castor Oil: Castor oil, the ‘miracle ingredient’, has stood the test of time when it comes to hair growth. It is rich in fatty acids and other nutrients that reduce hair damage, improve hair growth and make the hair grow stronger and longer. For eyebrow growth, this oil is a must-have. Olive Oil: This is another oil that improves hair growth and makes no the hair strong. A perfectly shaped and defined eyebrow embellishes the face with sophistication and class. So, give your brows all the attention using these genius tips and hacks. [ad unit=2]
