What you need to pay attention to in order to achieve thick eyebrows yourself
The hair that grows in the eyebrow area is not much different from other hair on the human body. They also go through several phases of their life cycle - from appearance to loss, with the renewal process usually going unnoticed. But for various reasons, eyebrows grow slower. This may be due to insufficient nutrition of hair follicles, constant exposure to various negative factors or improper care. To strengthen and restore eyebrow hairs, you should follow the following recommendations:
Make sure you take off your makeup before going to bed.This is important because the chemicals in makeup disrupt cellular respiration and damage hair follicles. When removing make-up, try not to scrub the eyebrow arches too vigorously; all movements should be gentle and without pressure.
Don't use soap to wash your face: It not only dries out the skin, but also the hair on the eyelids and eyebrows. It is better to wash with special products that do not contain alkalis or other aggressive components. During water procedures, you can apply hair conditioner to the eyebrows. This gives them soft and silky skin and protects them from the negative effects of the environment.
Perform a light eyebrow massage daily. To do this, apply a nourishing cream or cosmetic oil to the eyebrow arches and gently run your fingertips over the brows from the nose to the temples. You can make circular, vibrating and stroking movements. This increases blood circulation in the eyebrow area and thus improves the nutrition of the hair follicles. Massage each eyebrow for at least 5 minutes.
Eyebrows should be combed regularly.Thanks to this simple manipulation, they not only look neat, but also begin to actively grow. In fact, when combing your eyebrows, you perform a light massage, which helps to promote blood circulation and normalize the functioning of the hair follicles.
To comb your eyebrows, you can use either a special mini comb or a pointed brush. Such procedures should be carried out after washing with cool water (the skin should not be scalded). Before combing, it is better to degrease your hair with a tonic. The duration of the session is 2-3 minutes. After each use, the brush should be rinsed under the tap and treated with an antiseptic.
Stop using tweezers. As you pluck the hairs, new ones will grow in their place over time, but they will gradually become weaker and thinner, leaving the eyebrows sparse and unsightly. Of course, without constant adjustment, the hair will initially grow in different directions, but if you comb it daily, over time it will align in the right direction. After 3-4 weeks you can give your eyebrows the desired shape, and before that it is better to trace the contour with a pencil.
Protect your eyebrows from ultraviolet light.Since it has a negative effect on their structure, you should wear a wide-brimmed hat in summer and also use eyebrow and eyelash cosmetics with a UV filter.
