Trimming Eyebrows: A Step-by-Step Guide

Here’s how you can effectively trim your long eyebrow hairs:

Gather Your Tools: You will need small, sharp scissors (preferably eyebrow scissors) and a spoolie brush.
Clean Eyebrows: Brush your eyebrows upwards with the spoolie to reveal the length of the hairs and identify which ones need trimming.

Isolate the Hairs: Use the spoolie to comb the eyebrow hairs upwards, focusing on the hairs that extend beyond your desired eyebrow shape.
Carefully Trim: Hold the scissors horizontally and carefully snip the tips of the hairs extending above the desired eyebrow line. It's important to cut little by little.
- Reference: According to a video titled "HOW TO GROOM + SHAPE YOUR EYEBROWS! (super easy + at home)," cutting off the tips of the hairs will result in sharper looking eyebrows that are also easier to fill.
Recheck the Shape: After trimming a few hairs, brush the eyebrows back to their natural position to see how they look.
Repeat: Continue to trim and shape, focusing on the hairs that make your brows look overgrown.

Brush Again: Brush your eyebrows again to make sure that all stray hairs are cut.
Fill In: If desired, fill in your eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil or powder for a more defined look, noting the trimmed shape will be easier to work with.

Don't over-trim: Cut only the tips of the hairs. Trimming too much can lead to gaps and uneven brows.
Use sharp scissors: Dull scissors can pull or bend the hairs instead of cutting them, which is painful.
Take your time: Don’t rush the process. Take breaks to evaluate your progress and avoid over-trimming.
Trim in natural light: This will help you see your eyebrow shape better.

By following these steps, you can successfully trim your long eyebrow hairs for a well-groomed and polished look.
