How To Shape Your Eyebrows.

The colour and shape of our eyebrows greatly affects the way we look especially ladies.There are different ways in which you can shape your4 eyebrows including:
  1. Shaving
  2. Tweezing 
  3. Waxing
  4. Threading 
Shaving.
It is the simplest and cheapest of all methods but is also the most ineffective.Shaving eyebrows is very temporary and requires that you keep doing it within two or three weeks.The other disadvantage of shaving is the risk of missing the line and getting an irregular finish.
The eyebrow area is very sensitive and can easily get infected during shaving.If you have to shave it is advisable to go to a beautician.You should also not shave if you have acne or any skin infections around the eyebrows.

Tweezing

Tweezing is a semi-permanent solution to your eyebrows.Tweezed eyebrows can remain neat for even up to three months.The process involves plucking the hairs using  tweezers.Tweezing should also be done  by a
beautician.When plucking the hairs, pluck them one by one to avoid over plucking.You should also use an eyebrow-pencil to guide you on which ones to pluck and which ones should be left.

waxing

Waxing is also semi permanent and can stay up to three months.It involves applying wax on the hairs you want to pluck then removing the wax.The wax pulls the hairs from the roots.Waxing very long hair is more painful so you are advised to shorten the hair first.However,very short hair is not pulled by wax so don't trim it too much .This process is quite painful and risky so it should only be performed by a qualified beautician.
People suffering from diabetes and other chronic illnesses are advised against waxing as they are more prone to infections.

It is also advised that you don't wet the waxed area  until 12 hours after the process to avoid any infections.
After waxing ,use oil to remove the remaining wax.

Threading
 Threading uses a string to remove hair.It is also semi permanent like waxing but is less painful and has fewer risks.It involves almost no contact with the skin and so it is the safest for people with sensitive skin.Unlike waxing,you don't also come to contacts with any chemicals.Many people are now turning to threading because they don't have to spend a day with red spots around their eyes like what happens with waxing.With threading,no one has to know that you did your eyebrows.

Eyebrow Shaping Tip:




Before shaping your eyebrows,use eyebrow pencil to draw different shapes of your eyebrows the choose the one that suites you best.Shave along the line you have chosen.
