How to Wax Your Own Eyebrows

Waxing your eyebrows is difficult, and I think all of us want to leave it to the professionals. IÂ’m always wary of waxing my eyebrows, since if you do it wrong, everyone is going to see! I mostly prefer to wax every two weeks and tweeze in between to keep the evil hairs at bay, but after watching this video, IÂ’m a little more soothed.

If you have the right products and go slowly and steadily, you could easily have a friend you trust do your eyebrows, and I could do herÂ’s in exchange.

Wondering whatÂ’s so simple about this? LetÂ’s take a look at the video, and review the steps and products necessary to make at-home eyebrow waxing a cinch.

Supplies you Need: rubbing alcohol, baby powder, toner or astringent, aloe vera, cotton balls, an at-home waxing kit and strips to do this at home.

Prepping the Area:

1. Sanitize your hands and the area. Wear gloves if you can.
2. Remove all oils and dirt. So take a cotton ball, put some of the toner and astringent on it, and wipe the area. Next us the baby powder to dab onto the eyebrows and cleaned area to dry it out.
3. Check the consistency of the wax: you donÂ’t want it to be too thick or thin.
4. Once itÂ’s the right consistency, put a stick into the wax and apply a very thin layer (going in the direction the hair grows) across the area you would like the waax.
5. Then apply a strip to the area, pushing down in the direction you applied the wax.
6. To remove the strip, hold the skin taught on the forehead, and pull the strip down and against the growth of the hair.
7. If thereÂ’s any wax left, remove leftover wax with the toner and cotton ball.
8. To soothe the area you want to use aloe vera: again us cotton ball for application.

See? So simple! Again, I caution trying this on yourself, since you will be temporarily blinding yourself with the strips when doing the part under your brows. So grab a friend whoÂ’s also tired of shelling out the money for beauty salon waxing, and you can make a date out of it.

    Wow, very cool tips. Waxing my own eyebrows is something I’ve always been scared to do. Maybe one of these days I’ll work up the confidence to do it alone! ;-)
