Brows in lockdown

9 replies

Redruby2020 · 26/02/2021 10:38

Hi,

Just wondering how any of you who usually have them done at the salon etc are dealing with it now. Minus tweezing, just wondering what other options there are. Mine look awful now, during the original lockdown I went and bought a non branded eye brow trimmer pen thing, not very good at all, could of got the branded one but thought how much better will it be.

Any suggestions welcome although I am guessing that tweezing will be somewhere near the top of the list.
Thanks!

You can get wax straps which work quite well. Or a beauty trimmer if you want something quick.

You get wax shapers in Superdrug I think they’re £1.99 they’re quite good

Yes I bought a cheap unbranded brow trimmer last year, not very good sadly.

I just use nail scissors to trim my brows (brush them upwards with a comb then snip off the too long bits) and occasional tweezing for any stray hairs. Job done.

I'm talking about underneath though, if you've had them done for years and shaped etc, they grow back so now is very noticeable 😬

Eyebrow razors. I actually use a scalpel but Grin
Easy if you can see the shape already. I taught myself how to thread as well (youtube)

So are you saying you've let them grow out of shape and that's why it's 'harder' for you?

I've been getting mine 'done' for over a decade and all it takes for the underneath is for me to keep on top of any regrowth with tweezers.

I usually got them waxed, tweezing is okay if you do a bit at a time, if you let them grow then it's more work plucking the hairs out. Where did I state it was 'harder' for me.
