Do you like eyebrows with a well-defined line, because they add intensity to your eyes? Whether you have a low or a high density of hair, you certainly sometimes pluck your eyebrows. Several solutions are available to you: cold or hot wax, in an institute or at home, the thread, very precise, but which most of the time requires having it done by a specialist, or tweezers, practical, ultra-precise and easy to use for self-hair removal. In the media Woman’s Worldeyebrow experts Melina Cespedes and Robin Evans give their advice and reveal how often it’s recommended to pluck your eyebrows.
Eyebrow waxing: how often can hair be removed?
To pluck your eyebrows alone, Melina Cespedes recommends using tweezers. She explains that it’s the perfect way to remove individual hairs to achieve the perfect shape. It is also a gentler option for the skin unlike wax and thread which can sensitize the epidermis. It is also the ideal technique for mature skin. Thinner, they are more fragile and therefore less tolerant of wax.
Regarding frequency, Robin Evans says it’s a matter of personal preference. As a general rule, every two to three weeks is fine. “This is when you will see some regrowth and you can start plucking them before the brows are fully grown.”, specifying that it is also possible to wait longer, every six to eight weeks: this makes it possible to respect the hair growth cycle, and therefore to minimize damage and trauma to the hair follicles. It also depends on how quickly your eyebrows grow and how thick they are.
How to properly pluck your eyebrows with tweezers?
Melina Cespedes recommends starting by cleaning the area to be waxed with a mild cleanser and plucking the eyebrow hairs gradually from the inside out. She adds that you need to be careful to remove one hair at a time, in the direction of growth, and slightly at an angle to minimize pain and discomfort, but also so that it grows back well.
