Brushing your eyebrows upwards daily is the simplest and most effective way to train them to grow in that direction.
Here's a breakdown of how to achieve upward-sweeping eyebrows:
-
Brushing is Key: The core of achieving upwards-growing eyebrows is consistent brushing. Use a clean spoolie brush (similar to a mascara wand) to brush your eyebrows upwards several times a day. This helps redirect the hair's growth pattern over time.
-
Timing: Aim to brush your brows upwards at least twice a day, ideally in the morning and evening.
-
Technique:
- Start at the inner corner of your eyebrow.
- Using the spoolie brush, gently brush the hairs upwards and outwards.
- Repeat this motion several times for each eyebrow.
-
Product Assistance (Optional):
- Brow Gel: Use a clear or tinted brow gel to help set the hairs in the upward direction after brushing. This provides hold and helps maintain the desired shape.
- Soap Brows: The "soap brows" technique (using a bar of soap and a damp spoolie) is another option for achieving a strong hold and defined upward brow shape. However, use this method sparingly, as some soaps can be drying.
-
Patience is Crucial: It takes time and consistency to retrain your eyebrow hairs. Don't expect overnight results. Stick to the brushing routine for several weeks to see noticeable changes.
-
Avoid Over-Plucking: When shaping your eyebrows, avoid excessive plucking, especially underneath the brow, which can thin them out and make it harder to achieve an upward-sweeping look. Focus on removing stray hairs outside of your desired shape.
By consistently brushing your eyebrows upwards and using brow products to help maintain the shape, you can encourage them to grow in that direction and achieve a more lifted and defined appearance.
