Eyebrows Shaping: Three Effective Methods
Properly shaped eyebrows add to the facial beauty. Nearly all women worldwide who have means and access to a beautician go in for removal of unwanted hair growing on eyebrows to make them look perfect. This trend is now slowly picking up in men also who have started going in for this.
Three methods are generally used for this purpose. These are with tweezers, by waxing and threading. Use of any method depends upon each individual, but none of them is a permanent method.
Tweezing is quite an old method of removing unwanted eye hair. By this method, unwanted hair is pulled up from eyebrow to provide proper shape. This is not a permanent method and hair start re-growing within a few days. Some people are of the opinion that some moisturiser should be applied to reduce pain, but others opine that talcum powder works better. Moisturiser may reduce the plucking efficiency as the tweezers could slip. The advantage of this method is that it can be tried at home and no help is needed, with practice one achieves perfection and can shape eyebrows as per ones one liking. Also it is cost efficient and involves only one time cost of purchase of tweezers. In initial stages one may pinch own skin resulting in wounds so one needs to be careful.
The second method is waxing. This is generally practiced to remove hair from legs and arms. Eyebrows are in a prominent place and can seen by every person looking and talking to you, so waxing of eyelashes needs great perfection and should be done by a trained beautician. By this method hair takes about 6 weeks to grow and the growth is not very thick. Waxing may be associated with swelling or redness in the area. Remember to apply proper mineral oil on the effected part. Now a kit containing plastic cut outs of perfectly shaped eyebrows are available, along with a fine powder. This is placed on the eyebrow and darkened with the powder. What is left undarkened is the extra hair on which wax can be applied and they can be pulled off.
These days most commonly used method of shaping the eyebrows is by threading. This is practiced by a trained beautician and one cannot try it on oneself. By this method the hair takes 4-5 weeks to re-grow and the new hair are light and fine. There are no side effects associated with this. The unwanted hairs are removed with the help of a thread by trained person proper shape. Often even first time triers say that no pain is associated with this process. The disadvantage of this and waxing method is that these mean recurring cost.
