Eyebrows

Step-by step instructions on creating the perfect arch.

A well-groomed brow can open up your eyes and balance your features. It’s like a mini face lift you can do at home.

Step 1 – Choose your tools. Invest in a good quality pair of tweezers. Most professionals prefer Tweezerman. They make a great slanted tweezer that grips onto even the tiniest hairs. And you can have them sharpened for free.

Step 2 – Find your look. Your brow look depends of the shape of your face, cheekbones and nose. If you have a round face, go for more of an arch. If you have an angular face, you may find a rounded brow works better for you.

Eyebrow hair ingrowth

Are there times when you get your eyebrows done, but notice that the hair has grown back before you know it? You decide to make another visit to the parlour, but notice that the hair is not really there, for you to go about removing it. Strange situation, isn’t it? But what you are looking at is ingrown hair.

Ingrowing hair is due to a hair shaft deformity which makes the hair curl, penetrate back into the skin and get trapped there. In most cases, the trapped hair gets infected causing a skin condition called Pseudofolliculitis Barbae, say dermatologists.
