The Beauty by Bhavini mantra for naturally perfect brows
With so much information out there and so many eyebrow fashion trends, it’s easy to get overwhelmed and even put off the idea of doing anything with your eyebrows.
Here are three simple rules recommended by Beauty by Bhavini:
1. Do not pluck…
Although it may seem easy, there are disadvantages to eyebrow plucking. Firstly, you can scar yourself by inadvertently tearing your skin – this can result in uneven skin tone in the affected area. Secondly, plucked hairs do not always grow back, which means you may lose the affected hair follicle… and ultimately pluck away your chances of growing thicker, fuller brows. Additionally, plucking also raises a risk of infection by creating exposed openings in the skin and also raises the possibility of ingrowing hairs.
2. Let them grow…
If you want naturally fuller eyebrows, the best way to start by leaving them alone. Stop all threading, plucking, waxing, and any other form of eyebrow hair removal for up to 12 weeks. Yes I do understand that sounds like ‘forever’ if you are not happy with your eyebrows! But fear not – you will not grow a bushy caterpillar over your eyelids. As undesirable as this may seem, it is a required foundation for naturally fuller eyebrows. It is also mandatory for the next step – perfecting the shape! To really set yourself up for success in this stage, use a growth serum to help boost hair growth and healthy follicles. Let them grow for about 6 to 10 weeks (or more if your eyebrows are over plucked ) and then….
3. Leave the shaping to the professionals!
Brow trends will come and go, but a set of well-designed, natural looking set of brows will always remain in style. Proportion, symmetry and balance are key in achieving brows which can truly unlock the beauty of your face. Having celebrity brows is not myth – they are just a phone call away!
