begins with a basic understanding of how they actually work. Our hair follicles are essentially plugs of tissue that connect to the sebaceous glands located in the middle of our brows. These follicles grow and spread in response to natural hair growth. However, if we pluck or "nibble" our way into these plugs, we can damage them, sometimes to the point that they are permanently removed. Once removed, this damage causes the thinning that occurs in our eyebrow eyebrows.
So, if you were wondering how to Shape Your Eyebrows, first you would need to know what tools are necessary for the job. In order to get our brows to look the way that we want, we need to master the art of tweaking. This is when we pull or tug on our hair in order to move it from one place on our brow to another. For example, if we have two areas on our eyebrows that are both slightly different, then we might freeze or push each of these hair follicles out differently in order to make them match. If we were to do this to one area and not the other, however, then the resulting hairstyle would not be the one we desire.
The next step in learning how to shape your eyebrows is to master the art of eyebrow pencils. Basically, an eyebrow pencil is a flat, small metal tool that holds wax in place. You use the pencil to apply light pressure to the inside of the eyebrow area, moving it outward until the stray hairs on your brow line disappear. This is how to shape your eyebrows the correct way.
Next, we will use a brow's pen, or brow brush, to shape the outside of our brows. To do this, we hold the pencil at an angle slightly upward toward our nose, then sweep it outward toward our ears. This is how to draw the arch of the brows.
Now, we can use our ice pack. First, put some water drops inside a small plastic zip lock bag, then add a couple tablespoons of distilled water. Next, place the ice pack on the wax of our eyebrows. When the ice pack gets warm, wipe it against our eyebrows until the stray hairs on our brows are completely melted. Then, we can use our brows pen to smooth the wax away from our eyebrows.
Now, we can try our hand at sculpting our eyebrows the natural way. First, hold a small freezer directly above our eyebrows. Turn the tweezer downward until its face points toward our temples. Then, move the freezer over our upper lips to the point where we want sparse eyebrows. To get sparse eyebrows, we can freeze only the uppermost of the hairs around our lips and leave the rest of the hairs in place.
Now, let us make our hands less clumsy by utilizing other parts of our hands. Hold one of our hands in the hollow part of our fingers, with the tips facing down. Use the other hand to support our chin as we freeze our eyebrows. The ideal eyebrow shape is one that looks like two pointed ends of a triangle, with the base (also called the forehead) at one side of the face and the apex at the other. If you have a square-shaped face, your ideal eyebrow shape will be something like a rectangle.
Now, if we have already made some progress in sculpting our eyebrows, we can proceed to the most difficult phase, over-plucking. Over-plucking may seem like a simple problem but it's not. There are many different reasons why an individual might pluck their eyebrows excessively, the primary reason being stress. A person who has a lot of stress in their lives tends to over-pluck, so we should learn to minimize this tendency. Aside from stress, we can also pull our hair too tightly, which can lead to over-plucking.
