In order to achieve a beautiful and symmetrical shape of eyebrows, girls use different methods: plucking with tweezers, cutting the protruding hairs with scissors, using gelatin and so on. But none of the described methods satisfies the female representatives, since they all do not give a lasting result.
Using a thread, you can make incredibly beautiful eyebrows - everyone will think that a specialist has tried. The thread removal option is very effective, because even the smallest hairs are well cleaned in this way. No need to visit a beauty salon or suffer with tweezers - just master the technique of hair removal with a thread and use it at home.
What it is?
To date, girls are very careful in the appearance of their eyebrows, since caring for them is now in fashion. Well-groomed, with protruding hairs eyebrows spoil the girl's appearance, causing a feeling of her groomed. At the same time, constant plucking injures the skin, and new hairs grow at lightning speed and cause discomfort. But trading (another name for the procedure in question) helps to look dazzling.
Trading is the correction of eyebrows in which they need to be plucked with a thread.
This term is from the English dictionary, the word means "string". For those who have just decided to try this eastern technique, most likely, the method will seem complicated, but, having mastered it, everyone will be able to conduct eyebrow correction as well as professionals. There are educational videos by cosmetologists about this technique.
There is something you need to know about the method of plucking eyebrows that came from the East:
- to avoid allergic reactions, choose a thread from cotton or linen (plant origin);
- how the thread is twisted, remembered from training videos or pictures - it turns out very professionally for professionals, and once, having trained, everyone can;
- with the help of a thread, not one hair is captured, but several, and they are pulled out with the root, which is just what is needed.
The description of the procedure from the lips of cosmetologists sounds very attractive, but the technique has not only advantages in it - it also has a number of disadvantages, which everyone should be familiar with.
Advantages and disadvantages
The advantages of this method are quite numerous, because the procedure attracts many potential customers.
Appreciate trading for the following benefits.
- Speed. It only takes a few minutes for the eyebrows to become beautiful and neat. The hairs are removed along with the root, so you can safely go about their business without fear that tomorrow you will again have to worry about the “needles”.
- Simplicity. To remove hair, you only need a thread, alcohol and an emollient cream. This is very convenient, since the described technique can be used even when traveling. Even without experience, you can do a good depilation the first time. Sometimes there is a problem with thread tension, as it can break, but this should not stop anyone, because you can always start over.
- Convenience. With this technique, you don’t have to think about each individual hair, as, for example, with tweezers, because you can pluck a whole bunch of hair at a time, which speeds up the depilation process without taking too much time. However, this procedure is also suitable for removing individual hairs.
- Availability of funds. No complicated or expensive tools are required.
All that is needed for trading is probably at each person’s house, and you can do the procedure yourself.
- Efficiency. Many girls are familiar with this problem - you pull the hair with tweezers, and he does not want to climb outside. Sticking out hair causes discomfort and spoils the appearance of eyebrows, while the thread pulls out even the most stubborn hair and does not leave “needles”.
- Eyebrow architecture appeal. By choosing trading as a way to care for eyebrows, over time you can become a real master in this field. Using technology, you can ensure that the eyebrows will always remain smooth and beautiful.
- Scrubbing. The method not only eliminates the annoying hairs, but also scrub, exfoliating dead epidermal cells.
But always and in everything there are certain disadvantages, and trading will not be an exception to this rule.
We need to prepare for the possible occurrence of the following problems.
- Redness. It can not be avoided after manipulating the eyebrows. After tweezers, redness does not remain, since the hairs are removed individually, the thread removes them in bunches, injuring the skin. However, you should not be afraid - after a few hours the redness goes away. To speed up recovery, you can anoint the area of pulling out with a healing cream.
- Injury to the epidermis. Reviews about trading are mostly positive - the girls are happy to quickly and conveniently get rid of hair, but this method damages the skin no less than a trimmer.
- The need for periodic repetition of the procedure. Yes, this method is better than others, but over time the hairs grow back again. The skin does not have time to relax, as it again has to be injured. If this method is not suitable for someone, for example, the girl has very delicate skin, you should refuse to pull the thread.
- Soreness. Mechanical hair removal, in principle, does not seem like a pleasant thing, but the tweezers procedure is less painful than flossing.
- Danger If you are not sure that you correctly understood how to use the thread - it is better not to risk it.
It is advisable to learn from a professional in the salon, or gain more knowledge from the video, since a twisted thread is not a toy, it can damage the skin.
It will be necessary to remove the hairs in some more gentle way to all those to whom such a procedure will not work for contraindications:
- Do not trade eyebrows if the skin is damaged: there are wounds, burns, abrasions, acne or other irritations;
- if not so long ago it was necessary to transfer infectious or viral diseases, you will also have to refuse such a procedure;
- during pregnancy, you need to abandon this method of getting rid of hair, since it can lead to epileptic seizures or hypertonicity;
- trading should be abandoned if the girl is diagnosed with epilepsy;
- neoplasms (moles, tumors, warts, and so on) are also a contraindication for the application of the technique.
The advantages of the described method are that it is difficult to remove light and thin hairs with tweezers, but with a thread they are captured and removed completely. Hair grows after this method more slowly than after tweezers or another type of depilation, so you can feel comfortable for several weeks.
Female representatives often face the difficulty of shaping eyebrows. Trading also solves this problem - eyebrows can be given any shape, and this is another plus of the eastern method. Eyebrows are smooth and have a clear outline.
At the same time, the procedure should not be taken as a panacea - it is not always the best way out, and in any case, you need to carefully prepare for it.
Skin preparation
Before the procedure, it is advisable not to neglect the preparatory stage, because due to following all the rules, the skin will be minimally injured, and painful sensations will not cause much discomfort.
To begin with, you should disinfect with alcohol or lotion the area near the eyebrows where hair removal is planned. After this, a cream is applied that softens and moisturizes the skin. If the cream is not completely absorbed, the excess is simply removed.
Skin pores open due to steaming. If you immediately begin to remove the hairs after it, you can avoid strong pain. It is advisable to sit over boiled water for 7-10 minutes, then wipe the treated area with alcohol.
Since no one plans to infect, you should not only clean the skin around the eyebrows, but also wash your hands with soap.
After these steps are completed, you can proceed directly to the procedure itself.
Process features
First you need to figure out how to tighten the thread.
The scheme is quite simple, and step-by-step instructions are as follows.
- A 20-centimeter thread from natural fabric is taken. If such a long one does not fit, you just need to make it shorter.
- The ends of the thread on both sides are tightly tied so that they do not break. After tying, the loop is taken into hands and twisted so that a tow is formed in the middle.
- The optimal number of twists is 7 times. A wide loop will allow you to quickly remove hair, especially thick.
- In the process of hair removal, you will need to repeatedly move the loop, and it is advised to try how convenient it is at the stage of twisting the thread. This is done as follows: the loop rolls from one side to the other by opening the palm.
- Correction with a thread requires bright sunlight. It is best to sit opposite the window or point the lamp at yourself.
- You should take the loop in your hands, and the tourniquet should be above the place where the correction is planned.
- When the loop moves, the tourniquet catches the hairs, which allows you to make the eyebrow line even.
After plucking hair with thread, proper skin care should be performed. To do this, the treated areas are rinsed with warm water, then the face is wiped dry. Dry skin needs hydration, a cream is suitable for these purposes.
Also, care includes several simple rules that it is advisable to adhere to at least a couple of days:
- in the summer you need to smear the area around the eyebrows with sunscreen;
- Do not visit the solarium;
- It will not be superfluous to use special cosmetics that slow down hair growth.
To make symmetrical eyebrows at home is not so difficult, however, each technique has its own secrets. Using some rules, you can learn a cosmetic procedure that cannot be distinguished from a salon.
To do this, consider the nuances without which it will not be so easy to master the technique of eyebrow correction:
- while trading is just being mastered, you need to use a pencil to highlight the necessary zone that will be processed, while it is very important to try not to go beyond its contour - such markup will teach you to maintain shape;
- to avoid painful or unpleasant sensations, the hairs are removed not against, but in the direction of hair growth;
- begin the procedure with the eyebrows, gradually approaching the temples;
- if the cream that was used before trading remained wet on the skin, it should be wiped off, since the hairs must be plucked dry, otherwise it will stick together.
To make the eyebrows perfect, it is important to choose their shape.
It is important to consider your face shape - this is not the moment with which you can experiment. If it is difficult for someone to independently determine the form, relatives and friends will help. In general, you just need to arm yourself with a ruler and a pencil and try to draw popular eyebrow shapes on your face to understand which one is better.
However, the task can be simplified by the advice of professionals.
- Oval face considered to be suitable for any form of eyebrows. Perhaps its owners can still conduct experiments, since this type of face is perfect. The elongated oval seems somewhat rough, so the bend should be smoothed out - it should turn out to be soft. If you need to make the oval proportional, it is worth lengthening the ends of the eyebrows.
- Square face It looks quite rude, because the purpose of the formation of eyebrows is to make the face softer, to give it femininity. Eyebrow lines should be rounded and smooth. Owners of this type of face should not dye their eyebrows and make them defiant.
- Round face usually has round or chubby cheeks, very often girls try to hide them with blush or contouring. But they don’t even imagine how easy it is to change the appearance by simply changing the shape of the eyebrows. You need to choose only graphic and curved shapes, since the round ones will make it look ridiculous.
- Rhomboid face has a narrowed chin and forehead, while the cheekbones are quite wide. It is necessary to make eyebrows that soften the face - soft curves are best suited, they will narrow the central part of the face. The main thing is to refrain from graphic lines and bright colors.
- Triangular face the most difficult in terms of cosmetology and makeup. The main task is to make the upper part already. You can complete the task by reducing the length of the eyebrows, that is, remove the excess - it is important that the length does not go beyond the temple. Curved, roundish shapes will do.
Care
After the first stage is completed - the development of the technique of hair removal with a thread - you can proceed to the second. The second step is to learn the architecture of eyebrows. It is not enough to pluck them - they need constant care.
To keep your eyebrows always beautiful, you need to remember eight key points.
- Gel for eyebrows. This cosmetic product is used to give the eyebrows volume, it emphasizes the hairs. Eyebrows with it will look natural and well-groomed. To do this, it is better to choose a transparent gel.
- Correction of the form. You need to pay attention not only to the eyebrows, but also to the area around them.
With a light pencil, you can lighten the line passing under the eyebrow - this will make the look expressive.
- The right color. In order to emphasize the look, you should choose the color of the eyebrows, similar to the roots of the hair on the head.A shade that does not fit the girl’s hair and color type will only spoil the look.
- Combing eyebrows. For combing eyebrows, there is a special brush, which is desirable to use daily. It can be replaced with a toothbrush or a clean mascara brush.
- Combing. Regularly conducting such a procedure in various directions should become a habit.
- Castor oil - enviable eyebrows. At the pharmacy you can buy castor or burdock oil. It is advisable to smear one of these tools (or you can alternate them) eyebrows at night. If someone has such an opportunity, then this can be done at any other time. Oil makes hair stronger, providing them beauty and shine. Also, the tool accelerates hair growth.
- Oil compresses. You can do them once a week, but if someone allows time, it is better to carry out two procedures in the same period. To do this, any vegetable oil is heated, preferably wheat or olive. Cotton pads are dipped into it, which are then placed on the eyebrows. Keep them about 10-15 minutes.
- Eyebrow massage. Every day it is advisable to conduct a special massage. It improves blood flow, and with it comes oxygen and nutrients that contribute to the beauty and strength of eyebrows. The correct procedure looks like this: with your fingers, they press pointwise on the eyebrows in different places. Movements should go from the nose to the temporal part, they are performed along the hairline.
A good specialist in shaping eyebrows is also required to know a number of rules, without which beauty cannot be achieved.
- Symmetrical eyebrows make your face beautiful. When they are different, then the face looks asymmetrical. Even if the girl’s eyes are slightly different in size, the correct shape of the eyebrows will hide it.
- Toward the end of the eyebrows, the line should be thinner, and this should not happen abruptly, but gently and smoothly.
- Owners of large eyes are suitable for lush and thick eyebrows, but if the girl has small eyes, then such eyebrows will ruin the look of her face.
- It will also look ridiculous if the girl has thin lips, but thick voluminous eyebrows. However, if the owner of magnificent lips makes her eyebrows voluminous, they will only add beauty to the face.
- Eyebrows can be both lighten and darken, give them saturation and brightness. Girls with dyed hair need to dye and eyebrow, because they must match the color of the hair.
- If someone has too thick bushy eyebrows, it is advisable to thin them out - this will give the face softness.
It will also be important and interesting to learn how and by what means you can color your eyebrows, because painting is another step on the way to the desired image.
If some girls are proud of their natural, lush eyebrows, then others have to use different methods in pursuit of their beauty. Nature has not endowed everyone with thick eyebrows, but there are many ways to make them beautiful.
You can go to a beauty salon, where they quickly adjust their shape, color their eyebrows and do depilation, but it’s better to turn your attention to home methods.
- Pencil. Every girl must have used a pencil at least once in her life. This is really a good, easy and affordable way to color eyebrows, but you need to use it wisely, otherwise you can go too far with the color and look funny. Do not forget that the pencil is erased, so you can’t visit baths and pools, rub eyebrows or be in places with high humidity.
- Eyebrow Wax. Wax and eyebrow shade are more resistant to external factors, but it is also not recommended to apply them before visiting places where water procedures are likely, as well as in the heat, because due to sweating, the wax will flow, causing inconvenience. Use wax on top of the shadows, which are selected according to the color of the hair.
- Henna Is a safe and natural eyebrow tint.Henna staining does not cause discomfort, as is the case with wax or pencil, because henna is more resistant and can last for several weeks. This means that you do not have to regularly tint the hairs, but painting with henna is difficult to do - the procedure requires skill and patience.
- Eyebrow dyeing Is the easiest way. All that is required is to choose the right paint and sit in front of the sunlight. After the staining procedure, you can not think about painting for several weeks, unless, of course, you choose a good product.
Before dyeing eyebrows, it is important to follow the points listed below:
- eyebrow dyeing is the last stage, so first plucking is done with a thread, the desired contour is selected, all the necessary actions are performed, and only after that you can start painting;
- you need to hide the hair in the tail in advance - it will be useless if they begin to interfere and climb into the face, especially since the paint can get on them;
- it is imperative to cleanse the face first, as cosmetics interfere with the paint to lie evenly, and the latter can color the eyebrows in pieces or not work at all;
- any moisturizer or petroleum jelly is applied near the eyebrows.
At the same time, one cannot speak for a formalized line;
- in any suitable container, the paint is mixed with the oxidizing agent according to the instructions, and then mixed, until a uniform mass;
- the dye on the eyebrows must be applied carefully using a brush;
- to get a light shade, it is enough to withstand the paint for 5-7 minutes, but if you plan to get a deeper and more saturated color, then you need to hold the paint for as long as indicated in the instructions;
- the paint is removed using cotton or a cotton pad, after which the face needs to be rinsed in cool water.
Henna painting, by the way, also requires a certain and rather complex algorithm of actions:
- the correct shape of the eyebrows is created using correction with thread and pencil;
- just as in the case of dye, the hair is hidden in the tail - they should not interfere;
- the face should be cleaned of cosmetics - eyebrows should not be painted if cosmetics are present on the face;
- the desired outline is drawn on the face;
- 5 grams of henna are mixed in a container with slightly salted hot water, as a result, you get something similar to sour cream;
- the mixture is infused for 8-10 minutes, after which lemon juice is added, and for experiments with color - brighter and darker shades - add coffee or cocoa;
- the area near the eyebrows is preferably pre-anointed with any cream or use petroleum jelly;
- it is better to start coloring from the tips, gently and gradually making their way to the inner corner of the eyes;
- as with paint, richer colors require more exposure time;
- Using a cotton pad, you need to erase excess henna.
After staining eyebrows with henna, it is not recommended to use foams and gels for washing, otherwise all coloring will disappear. When the eyebrows are colored and get the desired shade, they should be properly looked after. With proper care, the eyebrows will always remain the desired shape, shiny and beautiful.
Beautiful examples
Using a pencil, as shown in the picture, you need to identify 3 points: the beginning, the highest arc, the end of the eyebrow. To do this, a pencil is applied to the edge of the nose, gradually moving towards the end of the eyebrow.
Beautiful and perfect eyebrows necessarily contain three main elements:
- the point at which the eyebrow begins;
- bending
- the ending.
Perfect eyebrows correspond to the cut of the eyes and fit the shape of the face.
Looking at the photos, you can see which eyebrows are considered ideal - this will serve as an impetus for the development of cosmetic secrets and trading. There is nothing impossible - if someone seriously decided to tackle his eyebrows and bring them to an ideal appearance, this is quite doable.
