Admit it. You loved the 90s, razor-thin eyebrows. Edgy and a little badass, the look takes us back. Thankfully, not back to our old tweezers!
Plucking our brows to death was the preferred way to shape our eyebrows. As methods go, it’s effective but takes forever! On top of that, if you miss a hair or two and don’t have your tweezers with you at work, it can take hours before you can fix them.
Once we discovered eyebrow waxing, though, our routines changed. All those hours spent in front of the mirror plucking out hairs one by one weren’t necessary anymore.
Today, we’re checking out what waxing your brows can do for you. Let’s look at the hottest trends in eyebrow waxing!
What is eyebrow waxing?
Removing unwanted body hair isn’t anything new. For thousands of years, people have done it through various means. Brow threading traces back to ancient India, plucking as far back as the Middle Ages.
In the 1970s, salons started offering eyebrow waxing. Shapes then were squared off near the center and tapered towards the ends. As with most fashion, the look shifted over time from a more natural-looking brow down to almost nothing and back. Today, the trend goes in opposite directions.
Some love the whisper-thin brows made famous by models in the 90s, and some are drawn to full, fluffy brows. Whichever you choose, waxing offers smooth, peach-fuzz-free skin and defined brows!
Using hard eyebrow wax, estheticians remove precise areas of hair around the brows with minimal discomfort.
What are the benefits of eyebrow waxing?
Properly applied, brow waxing is a low-risk option for controlling hair growth. Waxing also allows for high-fashion looks and dramatically arched brows in a fraction of the time.
Waxing gives you sharper looker brows
Plucking removes a few hairs at a time, leaving your brow line soft and natural. Some of us want a sharp, crisp line, and waxing helps us achieve that. Bushy, thick brows do much better with waxing than other hair removal methods, as they only take one hair at a time.
Waxing makes taming full brows easier because of how much you can get in one stroke.
Your hairs will grow back softer and at a slower rate
During waxing, estheticians remove hairs from deep under the skin. Once removed by the root, hair doesn’t always grow back. You’ll see the effects as you establish a waxing routine and your eyebrows are on the same growth cycle.
They’ll grow back slower with time, trust us. The hairs that do grow back also come back thinner and softer!
Eyebrow waxing is quick, with long-lasting results
Most brow waxing sessions last only a few minutes unless you pair it with another service like brow tinting. Once the service is complete, you’ll see results last several weeks at first. Booking on a four-week schedule is normal, but some people see results last up to eight weeks!
Is eyebrow waxing right for you?
Beauty treatments are a personal thing, we know. Waxing might be intimidating, but it’s a quick and easy way to achieve your ideal brow. And if you’ve got a dramatic look in mind or just want a low-maintenance solution, it’s perfect!
What shape of eyebrows do you want to have?
When you book your first waxing session, take some time to look at some popular eyebrow shapes. Consider the shape of your face because some brow shapes complement certain faces. Ask your wax specialist for their opinion if you’re unsure about your overall look.
Expert brow artists can help you choose a brow shape that compliments your face and is easy to maintain between waxing sessions.
Are there any skin conditions that concern you?
Waxing works for all skin and hair types. Some medical conditions, though, make the procedure a bad idea. Any condition that causes extremely dry and cracked skin, like eczema or psoriasis, means waxing might not be for you.
