How To Pluck Eyebrows

By Jason Taingahue
When learning how to pluck your eyebrows the first thing to consider is the current shape of the eyebrow and how to achieve the shape of the eyebrows that you desire. To start off with, the eyebrow should begin parallel to the corner of the inner eye and should extend out to meet the outside corner of the eye. Any hair between the eyes needs to be plucked away. The fine, or sometimes coarse hair that grows across from one eyebrow to the other, makes both eyebrows look like a unibrow.

Before beginning to pluck your eyebrows you need to place a warm cloth over the brow to open up the pores, this makes the hairs easier to pluck out. After about 30 seconds with the warm cloth lightly pat dry the area so that it is dry. Ideally plucking should be done after a hot or warm shower

For first time eyebrow plucker's, when it comes to plucking your eyebrows, it is advisable to draw the shape on your eyebrows that you are trying to achieve with a pen, don't worry as this can be washed away easily after the shape is achieved.

How to pluck your eyebrows correctly:
The best way to pluck your eyebrows is to pull the hair out the same way that it is growing. Pull the skin tight in the opposite direction and the hair should slide out effortlessly.

Continue to pluck the hairiest part of the eyebrows first so that only the fine and short hairs are left. Be sure to keep well within the shape that you are trying to achieve. When the coarse hair is plucked away use a warm damp cloth to wipe away any stray hairs that are on your brow.

When you start plucking the fine hair away, make sure you know how to get right in there and make sure the whole hair is plucked out. Pluck all the hair right up to the line that you have drawn for your shape on both brows. When you have done this, take the damp cloth and wipe away any plucked hairs that have remained on the brow. Wipe the brow dry and take a look in the mirror. This will tell you if you have achieved the shape you wanted and how even the brows are. It is perfectly normal for one side to be more perfect then the other and when looking in the mirror this will be obvious but will give you the chance to see what additional hairs need to be plucked.

Spend some time correcting the shape and perfecting the look of your eyebrows, as it is other people that will be looking at your eyebrows, so it is important that they look as even as possible. After the eyebrows are plucked completely, and you are happy with the shape and how even they are you should wipe the eyebrows completely with a damp cloth and apply moisturizer to the plucked area.

Remember that the hair will continue to grow back so once you have the desired shape maintaining it is important. The eyebrows should be brushed outwards with an eyebrow brush and trimmed regularly. The hair needs to be plucked when it starts growing back. The longer you leave the eyebrow the thicker and faster the hair will grow back so it's important that once you decide to shape the eyebrow, to remember to pay attention to the eyebrows current state.
