To shape eyebrows that grow upwards, the key is consistent training and strategic product use to redirect their growth pattern.
Here's how to effectively shape upwards-growing eyebrows:
-
Train the Hairs: Brush your eyebrows multiple times daily in the direction you want them to grow. This helps redirect their growth over time. A spoolie brush (a brush that looks like a mascara wand) is ideal for this.
-
Use Brow Wax or Gel: After brushing, apply a brow wax or gel to hold the hairs in the desired position. Look for products that offer a strong, yet flexible hold.
- Application: Apply a small amount of product and gently comb it through your brows, shaping them as you go.
- Finish Wax: A finish wax pencil is specifically designed to hold the direction of brow hairs in place.
-
Trimming (Sparingly): If some hairs are excessively long or unruly, carefully trim them. Use small, curved scissors and trim one hair at a time, brushing the brows up and into place between each trim to avoid over-shortening. Only trim if absolutely necessary.
-
Consider a Brow Lamination: For a longer-term solution, consider professional brow lamination. This treatment chemically redirects and sets the brow hairs in a more desired direction for several weeks. Consult with a qualified esthetician.
-
Fill in Sparse Areas (If Needed): If you have sparse areas in your brows, use a brow pencil or powder to fill them in. Focus on creating a shape that complements the new direction of your brow hairs.
In summary, reshaping upwards-growing eyebrows involves consistently training the hairs with brushing, setting them in place with product, and occasionally trimming unruly hairs. Professional brow lamination offers a more lasting solution.
