Tips to Put Best brows forward between Grooming Appointments

It's true with most of us that moment the first few stray hairs pop up below our eyebrow it is probably time to schedule our next appointment, but try and hold off. Your brow hair-just like any other hair on your body-grows in a cycle. Typically there will be between four to eight weeks before hair begins to grow back full-on. Logically one should fix an appointment after every five weeks in order to effectively clean up the brows and their shape.

In case you are eager to give your shape a complete makeover, you'll have to be more patient. In that case you need to wait eight weeks (towards the end of the growth cycle), you'll see that the hair follicles have come back up and you'll see a fully grown-in brow.

If you have to attend an event and need your brows at their best, WF suggests applying the brow mapping technique to create your ideal shape, and after filling in the ideal shape, tweezing any hairs that fall significantly above or below the shape.

Options if  you want to avoid a Tweezer Job

  • Hide any overgrowth. Apply a primer first by patting it on with your ring finger to keep makeup from sliding off the area, and then go over it with your favorite concealer.
  • Enhance your shape. Use a brow filler or a microfiber gel that clings to existing brow hair to instantly fill in sparse spots and make brows appear fuller, with a natural finish that looks like real hair.
  • For precision work use a eyebrow pencil. Opt for a shade or two lighter than their hair color.
  • Avoid triming your brows. If you trim your brows too short you can get holes and you can't really trim them again or comb them over, and it takes awhile for the hair to get length on a brow.

Brows are the one feature that makes the biggest difference to your face and how you look. No doubt they are important.
