Big brows are here to stay for the foreseeable future.
A lot of women want thick, wonderfully bushy brows, but keeping them that way is difficult, especially at home during the lockdown.
Although Phoebe Waller-Fleabag Bridge’s taught us that ‘hair is everything,’ for some of us, the hair that rests just above our eyes is the most crucial part of our appearance.
According to Treatwell, a beauty bookings service, the brow category rose by a healthy 62 percent at the start of this year compared to the same time last year, with threading being the most popular treatment and eyebrow tinting also increasing in popularity as time goes on.
Because going to the salon for a fast wax and tint is not an option right now, it’s time to take our brows into our own hands and keep bushy brows in our own homes. We have everything you need to keep them looking their best from the comfort of your own home, which is a blessing.
The Best Home Remedies for Maintaining Bushy Eyebrows
1. Make use of two mirrors.
Ensure that you have a magnifying mirror and a larger magnifying mirror available before starting your workday. In order to achieve the best results when tweezing, Shavata recommends using the magnifying glass while also looking in the larger mirror for the “bigger image.” ‘It will assist you in keeping things balanced.’
2. Only a few hairs should be tweezed each day.
Normally, it is forbidden to touch one’s own brows between sessions, but for the time being, the regulations are being flouted completely. She suggests that you only pluck a couple of hairs every day rather than trying to pluck them all in one sitting. In this way, you can easily maintain the form, which is especially important if you recently had them professionally done.’
3. Squeeze just from the bottom of the tube.
Sara Sordillo, a make-up artist at Eylure, advises that it is not suggested to pluck hair from the upper portion of your brows since doing so might damage the brow form if you get a little too enthusiastic with your tweezers. If you have any hair growing away from the normal contour of your brows, give them a thorough brush down and look for it. If you see some stray animals, pick them up and leave them alone.’
4. Take into consideration your natural brow contour.
Do you want to know how to map your brows like a pro? Pay attention to Sara’s recommendations. The tip of an eyeliner pencil should be placed at the inner corner of your left nostril and the pencil point should be used to mark the point at the top. Repeat the process on the opposite side. ‘The distance between the two spots is the maximum amount of hair you should pluck between your brows; any more will result in an excessively large gap.’
5. Trim with extreme care.
Trimming your brows will assist you in regaining their form, but go slowly. According to Shavata, you’ll need a spoolie brush and a pair of straight scissors to complete this project. ‘Brush all of your hairs up – anything that is sticking out beyond the contour of your brow should be trimmed.’ It is important to use little snips since a single large snip will result in a crooked line.’
6. Consider the possibility of growing them out.
For those of you who don’t quite have the bushy brows of your dreams just yet, now is an excellent time to start growing them out. You won’t have to worry about anybody else seeing your unkempt phase, and you can get them professionally styled when salons reopen. In the event that you can get your hands on some castor oil, Shavata suggests using it on your brows on a daily basis to help them develop “thicker and fuller.”
