How to choose the perfect eyebrow shape?


Before you cut your eyebrows, you need to take into account their original shape and determine exactly how many millimeters you can shorten the length of the hairs. Despite the fact that fashion changes almost every day, it remains democratic, so there are no too strict requirements for the shape of the eyebrows. Therefore, during the correction, it is necessary to take into account individual data, which include the features and shape of the face.

It is important that after adjustment, the eyebrows have the most natural and natural look, while they should not seem very wide or thin. It is worth abandoning disproportionately long or short arcs, because they will not become an ornament, but only spoil the appearance.


To give the eyebrows an optimal shape, you need to sit comfortably in front of the mirror and carefully examine your face. It is believed that the arches of the eyebrows look the most harmonious, the beginning of which is located above the inner corner of the eye. To do this, you need to take a simple pencil or pen and attach it to your face, placing it in the direction from the wing of the nose and towards the inner corner of the eye.

A line will be obtained, at the intersection of which the optimal point of the beginning of the brow arc will be located. Then the pencil is applied in the direction from the wing of the nose and to the outer corner of the eye. The end point of the correct shape of the eyebrows will be in the area where the eyebrows intersect with this line.

Features of the eyebrow trimming procedure


All movements must be very accurate and accurate, since any wrong action as a result can lead to errors that will be very noticeable.

It is worth considering the fact that eyebrow hairs grow very slowly, so it will take quite a lot of time to restore the previous shape.


To shorten your eyebrows a little at home, you can use several haircut methods.

First you need to comb the hairs in certain directions, and then cut off the excess:

  • hairs are combed with a brush or thick comb, after which they must be placed in an upward direction;
  • with a trimmer or nail scissors, hairs that protrude beyond the contour of the eyebrows are carefully trimmed;
  • then all the hair is combed down;
  • all hairs that will protrude beyond the contour of the eyebrows must be carefully trimmed;
  • then the eyebrows are laid in the opposite direction of hair growth and you need to carefully consider the result in the mirror, if necessary, the length of the hairs is shortened a little more;
  • after completing the correction, you need to make sure that both eyebrows are symmetrical.
You can use another option for cutting eyebrows, but without a comb:
  • the hairs are shifted upwards, then fixed with a finger, which is firmly pressed against the eyebrow;
  • all hairs that will go beyond the superciliary arch are cut off with nail scissors or a trimmer;
  • then the hairs are laid along the growth line and you need to examine the result;
  • if the eyebrows are not symmetrical, you need to make an additional adjustment.
A very interesting option for cutting eyebrows in the nose. The basis of this type of haircut is the correction of the eyebrows in the region of the bridge of the nose, until they are as short as possible, while the length of the remaining hairs is left unchanged. However, when using this method, there is a need to perform eyebrow correction every week to keep them in perfect condition.


To be satisfied with the eyebrow cutting procedure, which will be carried out independently at home, you need to follow a few simple tips:
  • if eyebrow correction is performed with tweezers, the hairs are thinned first, after which you can proceed directly to the haircut;
  • eyebrow hairs grow rather slowly (this process will take about 7-8 weeks), it is necessary to think over this period what result should be obtained after the haircut, taking into account which further work will be carried out;
  • you should not cut your eyebrows in a hurry, as there is a risk of making a serious mistake;
  • all movements must be confident, unhurried and as accurate as possible;
  • you should not cut the hairs very much, as they may begin to bristle ugly, which will look a little strange;
  • it is not recommended to apply this method of eyebrow correction too often - it will be enough to carry out the procedure once every three weeks;
  • it is not necessary to cut the eyebrows along the entire length, since you need to slightly shorten long and bristling hairs that cannot be styled;
  • it is worth considering the fact that as a result of too frequent haircuts, the hairs can become stiffer and begin to grow more intensively, becoming more bushy and naughty.
You can not be afraid of frequent trimming of eyebrows, especially if the procedure is performed correctly. The length of each hair is determined by nature and cannot exceed it, so the vegetation in the eyebrow area will not increase. Therefore, there is no effect on the quality and speed of eyebrow growth, so you can adjust the hairs with a trimmer or scissors.

Eyebrow correction can be performed not only by women, but also by representatives of the strong half of humanity. If you follow the tips above, you can give your eyebrows a beautiful shape on your own at home, without seeking help from professional masters.
