JAKARTA - Having thick eyebrows is an advantage that is not obtained by all women. When many flock to do microblading to thicken their eyebrows, women with thick eyebrows only need to shave their eyebrows without spending millions of rupiah to get the desired results.

However, shaving these eyebrows is very complicated. When the wrong shave, the owner will find it difficult to cover it because the eyebrow pencil cannot equalize or manipulate the thickness of the original eyebrow. For that, here is how to shave thick eyebrows.

Pull out the hair around the main eyebrow line with tweezers

The first step is to pull out the thin hairs around the main line of the eyebrows using tweezers. This will make it easier for you to see the original shape of the eyebrows. Be careful plucking hair that is on the main line, because here you only need to pull out those that look scattered above and below the line. You also don't need to be too clean to pull it out because this step will be done again later.

Compress the pores with ice cubes

Pulling hair using tweezers is painful and will open up the pores. This will often make it difficult for you to continue the eyebrow shaving process. For that, compress the eyebrow area that you just pulled out so that the pores shrink and relieve pain. Ice will also provide moisture to the surface of the skin on the eyebrows so that using an eyebrow pencil in step 4 will be easy to do.

Comb the eyebrows using an eyebrow brush

Comb the eyebrows up and towards the temples using an eyebrow brush so you can see the actual shape of the eyebrows. This step is very important because messy eyebrows and neat eyebrows look so different. Eyebrow brushes shaped like a mascara wand are now widely sold in the market in large quantities at affordable prices.

Mark the desired shape using an eyebrow pencil

In this step, you can draw the desired eyebrow shape using an eyebrow pencil. Try to follow the original shape of the eyebrows so that you reduce errors when shaving. If you want to raise or make your eyebrows slightly pointy, avoid marking the top. You can focus on forming the curves at the bottom to form that pointy effect. For maximum results, you should understand the eyebrow shape that is suitable for your face first.

Remove strand by strand with tweezers

After marking the desired eyebrow shape, start pulling hair that is outside the line that has been formed. The key to success in this step is patience and resistance to pain. You have to pull them out one by one with tweezers to reduce errors in plucking. If you pull them out at the same time, you could accidentally pull out the hair that is in the line.

Trimming eyebrows that are too long

If all the hair roots that are outside the line are gone, the next step is to trim the eyebrows that are too long. You can do this by combing the eyebrows using an eyebrow brush and then cutting the hair to the desired length. To be safe in doing this, use special scissors for eyebrows that are small so they will not harm you.
