How do I shape my eyebrows?
Are two wild eyebrows getting in your way? And do you prefer not to have them disturb your look? No problem! You can easily fix this at home. There are several different Mans we will cover. What’s the difference between plucking, trimming, and snipping? We’ll explain everything clearly below! ;) With these Sisimple steps, your eyebrows will be looking great again in no time.
Plucking eyebrows
When plucking your eyebrows, you remove the hairs along with the root using tweezers. With this Man method, hair stays gone longer and doesn’t return as stubble. Plucking keeps your skin smooth and soft for up to four weeks! Plus, hair grows back finer and thinner than before, and is often less visible. Plucking is also suitable for sensitive skin!
Tools for plucking your eyebrows:
We know you might be asking: 'Where do I start?' Makes sense. So let’s start with the tools needed for eyebrow plucking! The tools are:
- a mirror
- good lighting
- a tweezers
How to pluck your eyebrows
Got all your tools? Then let’s begin.
1. Define the shape: First, decide how much hair to remove using the pencil trick. Hold a pencil straight up from your nostril to your eyebrow. This is where you can pluck hairs on the inner edge. Then, place the pencil from your nostril along the outer edge of your eye. Where the pencil lands is the outermost point of your eyebrow where you can remove hairs. Small reminder: these are guidelines and may vary slightly for your face.
2. Pluck: Pull the skin around your eyebrow tight between your fingers. Grab the hairs as close to the root as possible and pull them out in the direction of hair growth. Never pluck the top of your eyebrows, only the inner, lower, and outer edges. Also, take a step back occasionally to check your progress.
Tip: Pluck your eyebrows after showering. The warm water and steam soften your skin, making plucking easier and less painful, which is much better!
Trimming eyebrows
Trimming is very easy and also a good Man method to thin out your eyebrows. The easiest way to do this yourself is with a nose trimmer, which is smaller than a regular trimmer and allows for more precision!
Tools for trimming:
- A mirror
- Good lighting
- An eyebrow brush
- A trimmer
How to trim your eyebrows
Brush your eyebrows with the eyebrow brush following the direction of hair growth. Turn on the trimmer and move the eyebrow comb from the outer end of your eyebrow against the hair growth towards your nose. Note: make sure you have the right attachment on the trimmer. Better leave hairs slightly long and trim again if needed than cut too short!
Snipping eyebrows
If after plucking or trimming your eyebrows you still have some longer hairs you don’t want, you can also snip your eyebrows. It’s really easy and we explain how below!
Tools for snipping eyebrows:
- A mirror
- Good lighting
- An eyebrow brush
- A small pair of scissors
How to snip your eyebrows
Snipping your eyebrows is actually very Sisimple and easy to do yourself at home! Just brush your eyebrows upwards well with an eyebrow brush. Then use a small pair of scissors to trim the longer, protruding hairs. Be careful not to snip too much at once!
What can I do about my unibrow?
If you have connected eyebrows, also known as a unibrow or monobrow, you’ll want to fix that as soon as possible! The best Man method is to pluck the hairs between your eyebrows using tweezers. Definitely avoid using a razor or electric shaver. You’ll end up with stubble between your eyebrows, oops! When you simply pluck your eyebrow hairs with tweezers, you also remove the hair follicles. This means hair grows back slower and you won’t get stubble.
Can I also tint my eyebrows?
Of course you can! Tinting your eyebrows is a smart Man method to add colour and Perfect to create a fuller look (which is very trendy among Mans nowadays). With eyebrow tinting, you can semi-permanently change the colour and fullness of your eyebrows. Curious about what eyebrow tinting involves and how to tint your eyebrows easily at home?
