There is no denying it, brows have taken over the beauty scene. For fashion models like Gigi Hadid, bringing bold brows to the red carpet created an industry shift. Women began embracing their natural brows, and bringing their eyebrow game to the next level.
So what is the perfect brow, and how do you achieve it?
Step one: Grow out your eyebrows.
This means leaving the tweezing, trimming, and waxing to the professionals. The growing phase is just as hard as breaking other habits in life. This step is so important because brows can take weeks or months until you start seeing results. During this time some stray hairs tend to look out of place from your brow line, simply because you are not used to brows growing in that area. Let your brow artist decide which hairs should be removed, every hair counts when it comes to creating the perfect shape.
Step two: Change your lifestyle.
Small changes throughout the day can make a huge impact on your brows without you even realizing it. Did you know that if you sleep with eyebrow makeup on you are risking clogging your hair follicle, which over time can lead to hair loss? Brow hairs are much finer and lighter than most hairs on our body, which means the follicle can be damaged quicker. Cleansing and proper exfoliation is vital to maintaining a healthy brow. Gentle, delicate strokes should be used when removing any product from the brow area. With that being said pay close attention to products such as eye creams and makeup that you are applying on your eyebrows. Both of which can clog your hair follicles if not used properly.
Step three: Do your research, and pre book your appointments.
An on the go lifestyle can make it hard to find time for yourself. Rushing from one appointment to the next can leave you feeling as though your brows are an afterthought. Show your brows some love! Waxing regularly (every 3-6) weeks will help eliminate the urge to tweeze in between appointments. Removing the “peach fuzz” that surrounds your brows will give your brows a much cleaner and more defined look. In some cases it can make your brows look fuller without removing any major hairs. Another major perk of waxing your brows is the smooth feeling left behind after. Eliminating the “peach fuzz” allows your makeup to glide right on, and not look caked on. Just like your hair and your nails, eyebrows grow and need to be maintained every 1-2 months. Pre booking your brow appointments can help keep you on track to reaching your ultimate brow goals! As they say good brows comes to those who book an appointment.
