How To Trim Your Eyebrows

It's fantastic to have some bush on your wee puppies but you don't want to have any wild Bob Hawke's flapping about in the breeze.

Bob Hawke - A look not to go for. You can if you want. But I don't recommend it. 

Too much bush can make you appear older than you actually are and I don't know many people who desire that quality.

As I have previously discussed, research has shown that there is no harm to your eyebrows to trim them. It does not make them grow back faster, thicker or longer. 

Trimming them is rather simple. The only trick being that you don't trim too much. A little goes a long way (unlike chocolate...a little never goes a long way.)

It is recommended that you trim after you have had your eyebrows shaped. Most places that shape your brows will also trim them to give them the finishing perfect look.

1. First brush your wee puppies upwards. You can use a small hair comb or a mascara wand like these.

2. It should look something like this now...

Then grab your scissors and softly trim the random stay and excess hairs. When trimming never trim to the line of your eyebrow. Go a millimetre or so above the line of your brow. The reason being that when you brush your brows back down into place after trimming you don't want to create any holes or sparse areas, which can happen if you trim to close the the edge of your brow.


You can always trim a little and then brush them back down into place to see what they look like. And if you desire a little more off simply repeat the process.


3. After you have brushed them upwards, and trimmed them, repeat the process by then brushing them downwards and trimming. 


And bingo you have yummy trimmed groomed brows!
