When your eyebrows are expertly done, they make you look younger. However, the opposite rings true when you become a victim of a botched job.
Here is a guide on how to get it right with your eyebrows:
Stop plucking/tweezing/waxing
Inform your eyebrow technician that your brows are going on vacation. One upside to this is that you will save money and probably time as well. Do everything in your power to resist the temptation to tweeze or pluck. It will be worth it. And don’t worry —even though you’ll feel a little unkempt due to the growth, it’s unlikely anyone else will notice.
Use concealers and pencils
After a few more weeks, you may feel uncomfortable with all the hair. Fill in your brows with powder and a good quality pencil. When you have achieved the right shape, you can hide stray hairs with a good quality concealer.
Thinning
As we age, many of us start to lose some of our brow hair, resulting in thinning. If you are experiencing thinness, use a special brow serum to encourage growth. Alternatively, you may use castor oil, which is readily available at the supermarket.
Don’t be a perfectionist!
Over-plucking is usually a result of striving for impossibly uniform brows. Remember these quotes by famous aestheticians: “Brows aren’t twins, they are sisters. Therefore, they shouldn’t be identical as eyes are different and need to frame those properly.” When growing them out, keep this in mind. In fact, “Growing brows for a year without touching them is what will allow you to get them in optimal shape.”
Another way of encouraging rapid eyebrow growth is ensuring you have a balanced diet. Your diet should have many fruits, vegetable as well as lean protein.
Castor, coconut and olive oil
Before you go to bed, cover your eyebrows with castor, olive or coconut oil. These oils are known to help in eyebrow hair growth and they will be a good natural way to grow eyebrows. Evening primrose oil has also been found to be very effective stopping eyebrow hair loss.
Finally once your eyebrows are properly grown in, find a well-qualified skilled technician to shape them.
