Have you been thinking about taking care of your eyebrows at home? We know that some beauty routines<\/a> like your regular eyebrow waxing and trim have been sacrificed because of physical distancing.\u00a0 Eyebrow maintenance is an important step to any beauty routine and if you have been feeling like Frida Kahlo, we want to help.\u00a0 When it comes to grooming, we went to the expert to find out how you can maintain your brows without creating a disaster.\u00a0 Brittni Alexandra is the owner of Toronto\u2019s B.Beautiful Studio<\/a>. She is a certified aesthetician in both Canada and the U.S. with five certifications for brows.\u00a0 Here are her guidelines on where you should and shouldn\u2019t tweeze.<\/p>\n

The Green Zone<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For the best results, start with sharp, clean tweezers.\u00a0 If your tweezers are getting dull on the ends, it is time to replace them. You can sterilize your tweezers using rubbing alcohol.<\/p>\n

Hair that grows at least 3 cm above your natural brow line is in the green zone to pluck. \u00a0For the middle hairs, located close to the bridge of your nose, start right at the centre and then move your way towards your brows.\u00a0 Pluck one hair, stand back, assess and then go back for another.\u00a0 Plucking the wrong hair can make a big difference.<\/p>\n

The hairs that lead past the side of your eyes are in the green zone to pluck.\u00a0 When in doubt, leave them.\u00a0 This is the perfect time to work on growing back brows that you may have over-tweezed.\u00a0 It usually takes 6-8 weeks of growth for the hair to fill in.<\/p>\n

The Red Zone<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The hairs that are part of the tail of your brows are definitely in the red zone.\u00a0 These are the hairs that people usually need to grow in.\u00a0 You may be tempted to thin this area out, but don\u2019t do it!\u00a0 Your brow stylist will need these to work with once you are able to go to the salon or brow bar again.<\/p>\n

The hairs just below your arch are also in the red zone.\u00a0 You may not understand where your eyebrow arch should start.\u00a0 If you over-tweeze the arch, you will end up with a surprised expression which is not the look that you are going for.\u00a0 Again, when in doubt, don\u2019t pluck.<\/p>\n

Even if you are tempted to use wax \u2013 don\u2019t!\u00a0 Unless you are a professional, you can get wax on the wrong hairs and it will take weeks, if not months for them to grow back.<\/p>\n

If you want to trim using brow scissors \u2013 make sure you are slanting them toward the middle of your brow, so that the hair is cut on an angle and not straight edge.\u00a0 Otherwise, you will have a blank space in your brow. Instead, try to use a brow gel to keep longer brow hairs in place.\u00a0 It is much safer this way. Brittni\u2019s favourite brow gel is Kelley Baker Clear Brow Gel<\/a>.\u00a0 It \u00a0also comes tinted for sparser brows and it retails for $26.00- $36.00.<\/p>\n
