To trim your eyebrows with a trimmer, brush the hairs upward with a comb and then carefully shave them with the trimmer using a guard to achieve an even length.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Brush Upwards: Using an eyebrow comb or spoolie, brush your eyebrow hairs upwards towards your forehead. This will help to lift the hairs and make them easier to trim.
-
Select a Guard: MAKE SURE YOU ARE USING A GUARD! Select the appropriate guard for your desired eyebrow length. Start with a longer guard if you're unsure, as you can always go shorter.
-
Trim with the Grain: Holding the trimmer at a slight angle, carefully shave the hairs that extend beyond your natural brow line with the grain (in the direction the hairs grow). Move slowly and deliberately to avoid over-trimming.
-
Refine and Shape: After trimming the bulk of the hairs, use the trimmer without a guard (very carefully!) or small scissors to refine the shape of your eyebrows and remove any stray hairs. Be extremely cautious if trimming without a guard to avoid removing too much hair.
-
Brush Downwards and Trim Again (Optional): Brush your eyebrow hairs downwards and repeat the trimming process for any hairs that are too long.
-
Clean Up: Tweeze or trim any stray hairs outside the main eyebrow shape for a clean and polished look.
