Why this worksWinter air can dry out your brows, making them appear unruly and harder to manage. Grooming helps define their shape and keeps them looking polished. Proper techniques also prevent breakage and promote healthier growth, even in the harshest conditions.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Start with Clean Brows Wash your face and brows to remove any makeup or oils. This ensures your tweezing or trimming tools work effectively and helps prevent irritation.
  2. Determine Your Shape Use a brow pencil to outline your desired shape. This acts as a guide when you start tweezing and ensures you don’t overdo it or go off track.
  3. Tweeze with Precision Using a good pair of tweezers, pluck hairs one at a time in the direction of hair growth. This reduces pain and prevents ingrown hairs. Focus on the area between the brows and any stray hairs above or below your shape.
  4. Trim Longer Hairs If you have longer brow hairs, use brow scissors to trim them down. Brush your brows up with a spoolie, and carefully snip any hairs that extend beyond your desired shape. This keeps your brows looking neat.
  5. Set with Brow Gel Finish by applying a clear brow gel to set your brows in place. This helps them withstand wind and humidity while keeping them looking groomed throughout the day.

Where people go wrong

Many people over-tweeze, which can lead to sparse brows. Others skip the cleaning step, making the process less effective. Not using a brow gel can also leave your hard work undone as brows can get messy in winter weather.

The pro moveConsider using a brow serum to nourish and enhance growth during the winter months.

Good questions

How often should I groom my brows in winter?

Aim to groom every 2-4 weeks, depending on your hair growth.

Can I use wax instead of tweezing?

Waxing can be effective, but it may irritate sensitive skin, so proceed with caution.

What if I make a mistake while shaping?
