How To Use Eyebrow Scissors
When it comes to grooming your eyebrows, using scissors is just as important as plucking. Eyebrow scissors are specifically designed to trim and shape your brows to perfection. However, if you've never used them before, it can be a little intimidating. But fear not, with a few tips and tricks, you'll be a pro in no time!
Choose The Right Pair Of Scissors
Before we dive into how to use eyebrow scissors, it's important to choose the right pair. There are two main types of eyebrow scissors: straight and curved. Straight scissors are best for trimming the bulk of your brow hairs, while curved scissors are ideal for shaping and trimming the edges.
Make sure to invest in a good quality pair of scissors that are sharp and easy to handle. Dull scissors can cause uneven cuts and even damage your brows.
Clean Your Brows
Before you start trimming, it's important to clean your brows. Use a gentle cleanser or micellar water to remove any makeup or dirt. This will ensure a smooth and even cut.
Brush Your Brows
Using an eyebrow brush, comb your brow hairs upwards. This will help you see the longer hairs that need to be trimmed. It also helps to create a natural-looking shape.
Trim The Long Hairs
Using your straight scissors, carefully trim the longer hairs above your brow line. Start at the inner corner of your brow and work outwards. Only trim a small amount at a time to avoid overcutting. Also, make sure to keep the scissors parallel to your brow line to ensure an even cut.
Shape The Edges
Now it's time to use your curved scissors to shape the edges of your brows. Start at the outer corner of your brow and carefully snip away any strays. Make sure to keep the scissors perpendicular to your brow line to get a clean edge.
Check For Symmetry
Once you're done trimming, use an eyebrow brush to check for symmetry. Your brows should be even in length and shape. If you notice any unevenness, go back and trim accordingly.
Finish With Tweezing
Finally, finish your brow grooming routine with tweezing. Pluck any stray hairs that are not in line with your desired shape. Remember to only pluck a few hairs at a time to avoid overplucking.
