How to take care of your eyebrows?

Thick eyebrows are the latest trend this season! Nevertheless, for many of us having dense and dark brows is not natural. What can you do to foster the growth and ameliorate the condition of the eyebrows? Are there some effective treatments that will enable you to look both spectacular and natural? Is makeup sufficient or is it better to trust a beautician? What should your daily eyebrow routine look like and what procedures can you undergo to get the perfect eyebrows?

Eyebrow care routine

If you want to enjoy dense and healthy eyebrows, you should not forget about them during your daily beauty routine. You probably moisturize your face every day, but do you do the same with your brows? If not, change your habits! The brows are vulnerable to adverse weather conditions such as heavy wind or sun. This is why they need proper protection, especially in winter and summer! If they look thin and pale, use the conditioner to give them an instant boost. This option is also recommended for all those who struggle with eyebrow hair loss. If you don’t want to spend much money on specialised cosmetics, you can use natural conditioners such as coconut oil.

Shape your eyebrows regularly

Shaping your eyebrows should become your routine. Maintaining a regular schedule is something that will allow you to always look good in every condition. You should be consistent about it, but remember that eyebrow shaping should not be done too frequently! This is common especially for women who shape their brows at home. If you visit a beauty salon, the best way to keep a routine is to book your next visit once you leave the place. The beautician can surely foresee when you may need a subsequent shaping.

Get yourself a new pair of tweezers

If you take care of your eyebrows on your own, you will need a good pair of tweezers that will allow you to precisely remove excess hair and won’t irritate your skin too much. Unfortunately, the majority of tweezers that are available in shops are worthless. They are not versatile enough and most of them can’t be used to target all hairy spots. If you already have a professional pair of tweezers, work on the proper plucking technique. Always try to pull the hair from the root without breaking it at the surface. Remove brows in the direction of their growth and don't exaggerate! If you pluck too much hair, the eyebrows may never grow again and look the same as before.

Avoid excess cosmetics

Each beauty supply shop is full of different cosmetics for all parts of face. Over the recent years, many new eyebrow cosmetics have been launched. They include special pencils, powders, pomades, etc. Using them occasionally won’t do any harm. However, if you like having dark and contoured eyebrows, there are better options to choose. For example, you can have your brows tinted with a special hair dye or henna. The latter is a natural way to make your hair look stunning without weighting your brows down. The procedure is really simple and quick, and the results may last for up to a few weeks.

Threading

This technique of eyebrows shaping is getting more and more popular each year! Threading eyebrows by yourself is a bit complicated, at least at the beginning, but the results of the shaping are stunning. If you have your brows shaped at a beauty salon, try this method out and you will never want to use tweezers again. Originating from India, threading is one of the oldest methods of hair removal in the whole world. It is done with two cotton pieces of thread that roll over the skin. It is known as the most precise form or removing unwanted hair. The technique is based on organic materials so it is recommended for people with sensitive skin.

Microblading

If your brows are thin or patchy, there is yet another solution that can help – microblading. This is an invasive procedure that can give you the results that can’t be compared to any other method. In simple words, it is a form of modern brow-tattooing. As the procedure involves using a needle to inject pigment ink into the skin, it should be performed by a qualified brow tattoo artist. The new brows need some time to heal but the effects may last up to 18 months and beyond. If you opt for microblading, remember that this technique is not suitable for people who underwent chemotherapy or have blood circulation problems. If you are not sure if it is safe for you, ask your doctor!

Brow lamination

The brow lamination treatment is a real hit among all women who want to have thick and dark brows. This non-invasive treatment, relaxes and strengthens hair from the inside. This is a three-step process. Firstly, the eyebrow stylist applies a perming solution that breaks down the bond within the hair. After that they use a fixing solution that allows to the eyebrows to be shaped. Finally, they apply a serum that makes your brow moisturized. The treatment is recommended for everyone without exception since it helps get fuller-looking brows. The effects may be visible even for two months, especially while combined with tinting.
