Before proceeding directly to the eyebrow trimming procedure itself, it is imperative to disinfect all tools so as not to accidentally infect an infection.
How to find the perfect eyebrow shape?
Before you trim your eyebrows, you need to take into account their original shape and determine exactly how many millimeters you can shorten the length of the hairs. Despite the fact that fashion changes almost every day, it remains democratic, therefore, too strict requirements are not imposed on the shape of the eyebrows. Therefore, during the correction, it is necessary to take into account individual data, which include facial features and shape.
It is important that after the adjustment, the eyebrows have the most natural and natural look, while they should not appear very wide or thin. It is worth abandoning disproportionately long or short arcs, because they will not become an ornament, but only spoil the appearance. To give your eyebrows an optimal shape, you need to sit as comfortably as possible in front of the mirror and carefully examine your face. It is believed that the most harmonious look is the arches of the eyebrows, the beginning of which is located above the inner corner of the eye. To do this, you need to take a simple pencil or pen and attach it to your face, placing it in the direction from the wing of the nose and to the inner corner of the eye.
You will get a line at the intersection of which the optimal point of the beginning of the brow arch will be located. Then the pencil is applied in the direction from the wing of the nose and to the outer corner of the eye. The end point of the correct eyebrow shape will be at the intersection of the eyebrow with this line.
Features of the eyebrow trimming procedure
All movements must be very precise and accurate, since any wrong action as a result can lead to errors that will be very noticeable.
It is worth considering the fact that eyebrow hairs grow very slowly, so it will take quite a long time to restore the previous shape. To shorten your eyebrows a little yourself at home, you can use several cutting methods.
First, you need to comb the hairs in certain directions, and then trim the excess:
- the hairs are combed with a brush or thick comb, after which they must be placed in the upward direction;
- with a trimmer or nail scissors, hairs that protrude beyond the contour of the eyebrows are carefully trimmed;
- then all the hair is combed down;
- all hairs that will protrude beyond the eyebrow contour must be carefully trimmed;
- then the eyebrows are laid in the opposite direction of hair growth and you need to carefully consider the result in the mirror, if necessary, the length of the hairs is shortened a little more;
- after completing the correction, you need to make sure that both eyebrows are symmetrical.
You can use another eyebrow trimming option, but without a comb:
- the hairs move upward, then are fixed with a finger, which is firmly pressed to the eyebrow;
- all hairs that will go beyond the brow arch are trimmed with nail scissors or a trimmer;
- then the hairs fit along the growth line and you need to inspect the result;
- if the eyebrows are not symmetrical, you need to make additional adjustments.
A very interesting option for trimming the eyebrows in the nose bridge area. At the heart of this type of haircut is the correction of the eyebrows precisely in the region of the nose, until they are as short as possible, while the length of the remaining hairs remains unchanged. However, when using this method, there is a need to perform eyebrow shaping every week in order to keep them in perfect condition.
Useful tips for trimming your eyebrows
To stay satisfied with the eyebrow trimming procedure, which will be carried out independently at home, you need to follow a few simple tips:
- if the eyebrow correction is performed with tweezers, the hairs are thinned first, after which you can proceed directly to the haircut;
- eyebrow hairs grow rather slowly (this process will take about 7-8 weeks), it is necessary to think over during this period what result should be obtained after a haircut, taking into account which further work will be carried out;
- you should not cut your eyebrows in a hurry, as there is a risk of making a serious mistake;
- all movements must be confident, unhurried and as accurate as possible;
- do not cut the hairs too much, as they can start to bristle ugly, which will look a little strange;
- it is not recommended to use this method of eyebrow correction too often - it will be enough to carry out the procedure once every three weeks;
- it is not necessary to trim the eyebrows along the entire length, since you need to slightly shorten the long and puffy hairs that cannot be styled;
- it is worth considering the fact that as a result of too frequent haircuts, the hairs can become harder and begin to grow more intensively, becoming more bushy and naughty.
There is no need to be afraid of cutting your eyebrows frequently, especially if the procedure is carried out correctly. The length of each hair is determined by nature and cannot exceed it, so the vegetation in the eyebrow area will not be strengthened. Consequently, there is no effect on the quality and speed of eyebrow growth, so you can correct the hairs with a trimmer or scissors.
Eyebrow shaping can be performed not only by women, but also by representatives of the strong half of humanity. If you adhere to the above tips, you can give your eyebrows a beautiful shape yourself at home, without seeking help from professional craftsmen.
