How to Pluck Eyebrows
Tweezing your eyebrows by yourself is not an uphill task. All you have to do is get acquainted with some basic steps. Read the following article to know more.
- Take a white eyeliner and apply it on those strands that are to be removed.
- Now hold the skin tight and taut and start removing the hair follicles forming the arch by holding tweezers close to the base of the hair.
- Pull the hair off in the direction in which it is growing.
- To make things easier, pull the large and dark hair follicles first.
- Now, before you proceed, get the arch of the second brow done.
- While removing the hair follicles from the top of the brow, pluck fine ones that are outside the shape.
- Next, you have to work in the area between the brows.
- Once you do the fine tuning, take a close look in the mirror and pluck fine, light hair follicles.
- Finally, apply an aloe-based lotion or gel using a cotton swab.
- Never dig the tweezers deep into the skin for grabbing short hair follicles. Let it grow and then pluck the strands off.
- A firm grip of the tweezers is necessary so that the procedure becomes less painful. For that wipe the tweezers' tips with alcohol periodically.
- If you are skeptical about the pain, apply a numbing spray on the eyebrows before you pluck them.
- Plucking once a month, is good enough to keep the eyebrows in shape as in that case you can clearly know which hair follicle stays and which does not.
