Features

Eyebrow tweezers - a must-have tool in a female cosmetics bag. Regardless of whether you have thick eyebrows or thin - to achieve the perfect shape, you have to use tweezers. There are also other names of this cosmetology device. Eyebrow tweezers - one of them.

What is the name of?

But at the professional level, this tool is called reydederm. Initially it was a device for drawing, consisting of two metal sticks with one base. The distance between the edges was set using a special scroll wheel. Even 30-40 years ago, women massively used the reedfeder to correct the shape of the eyebrows. Gradually he was forced out by tweezers and professional eyebrow tweezers. All these cosmetic tools look almost the same and are used to give the eyebrows the perfect neat shape.

How to choose tweezers?

Eyebrow tongs or tweezers may have a different shape and be made of different materials, such as plastic or metal. The most popular type of tool is stainless steel tweezers. This material is durable, ensures the accuracy of the capture of hairs, and also makes it possible to disinfect it. Special attention deserves the form of tweezers. The main body of the tool consists of two steel thin plates soldered to each other in one place.

Some types of tweezers look like scissors, that is, they have rounded handles. Such tools are often called eyebrow tweezers. Such tools can have smooth or edges, sharpened from the outside and inside. The main differences in the tools are not only in the design, but in the form of a free edge.

Professional tweezers for eyebrows can have edges of the following shape:

Purpose of eyebrow tweezers

The answer to the question of how to choose eyebrow tweeters is how thick the eyebrows are and what the structure of the hairs is:

Coarse "thick" hairs are best removed with straight tweezers with pointed or even edges. The pointed edges of the tool allow you to more accurately grab hairs and gently remove them.
For girls with thick eyebrows, a tool with bevelled free edges is more suitable. It is convenient for them to grab short hairs and give them the desired shape. So tweezers convenient to learn to pluck eyebrows on their own.
Thin tweezers with pointed needle-shaped edges allows you to gently remove ingrown hairs, almost without damaging the skin. To use such a tool is not all convenient. To work with him you need a skill.
For detailed eyebrow correction, backlit tweezers are used. Most often they are employed by professional cosmetologists. Having no experience with such a tool, it is problematic to evaluate its convenience and the advantage of having additional lighting.

Answer the question of what kind of tweezers for plucking eyebrows better definitely not possible. The choice of materials for eyebrows is a purely individual matter, but we can safely say that the best tweezers are the one that is distinguished by durability, quality, convenience and well captures hairs. Having chosen the instrument you like, make sure that it lies comfortably in your hand, and the surface of its working part is flat and smooth.

How to use tweezers?

You need to start the work on eyebrow correction by washing hands, disinfecting the instrument and cleaning the skin in the treatment area.
It is necessary to work with two hands. With one hand, you need to slightly tighten the skin under the eyebrow, and the second to work with tweezers. So the correction procedure will be less painful.
Do not grab several hairs at once. Firstly, the correction of eyebrows will be much more painful, and secondly, the probability that together with unwanted hairs you will remove those that need to be left is quite high.
If there is ingrown hairs, it is advisable to slightly rub the skin, process it with a scrub and then, using tweezers, carefully pick up the ingrown hair and remove it. So that the hairs do not grow in, they should be removed only strictly in the direction of growth.

Tweezers life and possible damage

Even the best tweezers for eyebrows, despite the fact that its service life has no restrictions, can lose its qualities. The main cause of tool breakage is a fall. Hitting the sharp edges on the floor, it can be deformed or dull, so it is highly desirable not to drop the tool. In this case, it will require sharpening and leveling the edges.

All about eyebrow tweezers

Eyebrow tweezers - the tool needed by each eyebrow correction specialist, and any woman should have forceps in her arsenal. The ability to give the eyebrows an ideal shape depends more on the professionalism of the master than on the tool. However, working with blunt tweezers that do not grab hairs and scratch the skin becomes a complete punishment.

What is different tweezers

Most eyebrow tweezers have a similar shape and about the same length. They differ mainly in the shape of the working edge and the material from which they are made.

Tweezers of various plastics, metal alloys and stainless steel are sold in stores and online stores.

Regardless of whether you purchase tweezers for work or personal use, choose only stainless steel.

Plastic tweezers can contain toxic substances that, penetrating through the skin or with inhaled air, will slowly poison the body. Nippers of an alloy of unknown composition are also a dubious choice. Depending on the composition of the alloy and the method of its production, such tools can become rusty, quickly dull, bend.

With regular disinfection, they will be destroyed by corrosion. The best choice is tools made of austenitic grade 12x18H10T structural steel. They have a high corrosion resistance, do not rust with prolonged contact with water, withstand exposure to corrosive media, serve for a long time, and sharpen well.

This steel grade is used to make a number of medical instruments, including tweezers.

Since the geometry of forceps for professional and personal use is the same, they are better to buy in specialized stores that sell products for beauty salons. Even in such stores, the prices of tools can vary greatly.

If you see 2 practically identical tweezers of the same manufacturer, differing in cost by 1.5-2 times, this means that a cheaper instance is made of lower quality steel that contains microvoids or the steel is cheaper way and is less durable, softer. Such tweezers fail faster.

In the case of an accidental fall, from a height of 20 cm, the hairs normally stop grasping. When you try to sharpen, they form an uneven edge, with fins. In fact, they are not subject to sharpening.

Selection of tweezers in the shape of the working edge

Types of tweezers are determined by:

steel from which it is produced,
the geometric shape of the instrument (it should rest comfortably in the hand, not slip out, in fact, the tweezers should be an extension of the master's hand),
the degree of elasticity in compression (connecting the ends),
the shape of the working edge,
the sharpening method, which should be on both sides with wide-edge tweezers (if you wish, you can sharpen with the repair and maintenance tool or yourself).

Mechanical tweezers for eyebrows produced with 4 forms of the working edge:

straight wide
inclined wide
narrowed
acicular.

There are also automatic type tweezers. It is a retractable design. The retractable part is used to grip a hair, after which it retracts, pulling out a hair. This procedure does not cause any painful sensations, but can only be performed by a master. It is extremely inconvenient for them to independently adjust the shape of the eyebrows.

Some mechanical forceps are made with light. On the tool install a small LED flashlight, which should help better see the hairs. In practice, the effect of such illumination is negligible. The backlight is clearly visible in darkened rooms, in brightly lit rooms it is almost imperceptible.

It is strictly forbidden to use such devices in salons, since they cannot be soaked in an antiseptic solution and sterilized in an ultraviolet lamp, especially disinfected in an autoclave, which can cause infection with any viral, fungal and parasitic diseases, including HIV, all strains of hepatitis, etc.

Straight wide hem is good for quick adjustment of thick eyebrows with thick hairs, but does not allow for detailed eyebrow work.

The sloping edge is suitable for all types of eyebrows. It is convenient to use both experienced masters and beginners.

The narrowed edge is most suitable for working with very fine hairs.

The needle-shaped forceps are universal, with a little dexterity they allow you to quickly, beautifully and painlessly correct any eyebrows for both the client and yourself.

Tips to help you choose the right eyebrow tweezers:

If you have never been engaged in the selection of the form and removal of excess hair, it is better to contact a professional. The wizard will help you to choose the geometry of the eyebrows that best emphasize your beauty, make your face expressive, give recommendations for the care and imposition of makeup.

If you only need to adjust the grown hairs and you have a certain skill, you can remove unwanted hairs yourself. Immediately purchase professional tweezers.

There is no fundamental difference in the design between professional and household tongs, but it is much more convenient for a professional to work, they are high-quality and durable.

When used individually, will last more than one year.

Choose the shape of the forceps and the geometry of the working edge so that it is convenient for you to grab one hair at a time and pull it out in the direction of growth. The most uncomfortable - with a straight, wide edge. For painless procedures, take the needle-shaped. For self-application, many choose tweezers with a tapered or tapered edge.

Care tweezers

Although the pinch seems to be the simplest fixture, it also requires proper care. To serve it long and smoothly, you need to follow a number of rules.

Pliers can not be dropped: falling causes damage to the working edge. Often, after a fall, even from a low height, tweezers become unusable.
Before the first use and after each use, the forceps are washed under running water with detergent, immersed in an antiseptic solution. If the tool is used by one person, then 10 minutes in a 0.05% solution of Chlorhexidine Bigluconate is sufficient so that the tweezers do not have a nutrient medium for the microorganisms. After the instrument is removed, dried thoroughly and stored in a clean case or a specially designated box.

In the cabin, the device is immersed in a solution of a strong antiseptic, for example, “Optimax” (the concentration and time spent for the solution are prescribed in the instructions and depend on the specific agent).

After the solution, the forceps are sent to the sterilizer, where they stay until the next use.

Tweezers need to be sharpened in time. The sharpening schedule depends on the frequency of use. In salons, where the procedure is in great demand, they adjust the sharpening once in 2-3 months independently or with the master. Individual tweezers can be sharpened. Do it 1 time in 6-7 months, using an elektrochechetochka with a nozzle for scissors. With its help, you can round too sharp corners.

If you wear eyebrow tweezers in a handbag, make sure that the working edge is protected by a cap, and the forceps are placed in a convenient case, which protects it from damage and will not allow the tweezers to spoil the bag and the objects inside it.

How to choose eyebrow tweezers

I have long wanted to tell you how to choose the right eyebrow tweezers. Since I saw one of my closest friends with that kind of thing under the guise of tweezers ... I almost turned gray trying to pull something out. In general, the right tweezers are fifty percent success. The remaining fifty gives an accurate understanding of what you are doing and why, we'll talk about this later, but for now, about tweezers.

Tweezers with straight wide ends. Classics of the genre, and in fact - a lottery. I almost did not see good tweezers of this type, basically it's crap, like, for example, the one on the picture. It’s generally inconvenient for me to pinch my eyebrows with such tweezers, I can allow someone else to do it. Generally, the wider the edge of the tweezers - the more it captures the hairs. Those.

tweezers with a wide edge suitable for lush thick eyebrows that need constant weeding.

Only the edges of such tweezers should be perfectly lapped, otherwise you will be useless to click in attempts to grab the hairs just like the well-known rogue gaming machine, which supposedly can win a stuffed toy, but even if you manage to grab it, you can hardly pull out a crook was my friend).

In perfect tweezers, the ends are beveled. The beveled ends, as it were, set the right direction for plucking. Here are tweezers with beveled wide ends, it is good and regular. The tweezers are correct not only in densely ground edges, but also in the fact that it is flexible, i.e. it is easy to compress.

But this tweezers are not flexible, not only can they endlessly clapping, trying not to lose a hair, it is also hard to squeeze. For me, duck is very tiring - to enter hand-to-hand each time with my tweezers. Plus, these hellish bulky, roughly sharpened ends ... If there is an opportunity in the store to try, always try compression tweezers and choose the easiest and most elegant one.

Here are tweezers, which I think is the best option for self-correction of eyebrows. Bevel narrowed edges - perfect grip and precision. For the average European eyebrows the most that is necessary.

For thick eyebrows, wide tweezers are better, but this one is also suitable if you are not very confident and afraid to pull out too much. My favorite brand, as you might have guessed, is the democratic QVS (in Moscow you can buy it in the Ильle de Bothe, well, actually there are still many where).

They have a lot of various tweezers, among which there is a rather strange look, you are looking for something like the one in the picture:

There are still tweezers with sharp ends. This, in general, is sometimes also a necessary thing. This is the most accurate tweezers, he pulls out one hair. Therefore, from him the least painful sensations. If you are not very sure what to do with the eyebrows, take such tweezers, it, at least, will not allow you to accidentally pull out the necessary hairs. Also, if you are afraid of pain, take such tweezers.

Behind the scenes, we still have a hybrid of scissors and tweezers, well, can you imagine what it is. I personally do not like this thing for its awesome appearance, reminiscent of the operating room, and also tried several times to make sure that it is inconvenient and wrong. Although there are downright adherents of this device, claiming that it is only convenient for them. Usually these are girls with plucked eyebrows.

Because the hand with such tweezers is very far from the eyebrow itself, its (hand) is difficult to hold at the right angle, it is difficult to sustain the intended line, because seizure is poorly controlled, in general, it turns out such a chaotic activity, because of which, sooner or later, eyebrows begin to look like moth-eaten.

In short, I would try to protect my friends from such forceps.

You don’t need to take care of tweezers in a special way, if this is your personal tool (makeup artists know what to do with tweezers). But even the most successful tweezers deteriorate over time, i.e. ceases to firmly seize hairs.

Such tweezers should be thrown away and a new one should be bought instead. Although I know that some people prefer to sharpen their favorite tweezers first before throwing it away anyway (because

sharpening tweezers is a procedure with an arbitrary result - if you are lucky, you can sharpen tweezers normally, but more often it will get worse).

That's probably all. Very simple, actually.

Professional Eyebrow Tongs

Sharpening professional tweezers

There are two types of sharpening: factory and individual. Between them there is a noticeable difference. Cosmetic devices are often made with an imperfect working surface, from which it is impossible to capture the desired hairs. In such a situation, tweezers are thrown away or attributed to individual grinding.

If you get a quality tool in your hands, then there is a risk that it will break down over time. How does this happen? The edges become blunt from years of operation. You can remove a little hair, but after numerous attempts.

The appearance of such inconvenience suggests that you should contact the master for sharpening.

Doing such a procedure at home and with improvised means is strictly prohibited, because you can irrevocably ruin your own inventory.

Keep from falling, keep in a case and carefully disinfect, then sharpening will become necessary much less often.

Steel. Steel tweezers serve for a long time, if necessary it can be sharpened, care for such a tool does not cause difficulties. Particularly popular models of medical and stainless steel.

Some manufacturers of cosmetic tongs are covered with bright enamel, decorated with additional elements, but this does not affect the quality of the goods.

Nippers with a different form of a working surface

Depending on the shape of the working surface, there are several types of forceps:

With wide, straight tips. Classic option. This tool is easy to carry out the procedure yourself. It is important that the edges of the tweezers are in close contact with each other, otherwise it will be difficult to grab the desired hair.
With sharp working edge. Suitable for plucking thick eyebrows and some coarse hairs.
With oblique (beveled) ends. This form sets the right direction and allows you to pull out even coarse and unruly hairs. The tool is suitable for carrying out the procedure independently at home and for making correction by a professional.
With a needle-like edge. Externally, the edge of the tool resembles two flat needles. Such forceps are more difficult to use, but they allow you to accurately grab the desired hairs. Correction with their help causes a minimum of pain.

Regarding the shape of the handle, there are two types of tweezers:

Conventional tweezers for eyebrows have the form of two thin, flat plates, at least 10 cm long, which are fastened at the base.
Scissors-shaped tongs. The original shape that combines tweezers and scissors. The device is difficult to use due to the fact that it does not allow to hold the hand in a comfortable position. It is well suited for regular correction of the shape of the eyebrows and impart a thin line.

Manufacturers of professional cosmetic tools pay great attention to the convenience of using tweezers. For example, produce models with rubberized handles that prevent slipping during operation, or with holes along the entire length, to make tongs easier.

Tweezers with extra features and accessories

Despite the simplicity of the eyebrow plucking device, manufacturers are trying to improve it, to make the correction procedure more convenient and less painful. Ordinary classic tweezers complement various devices. For example, a built-in magnifying glass or flashlight.

A small magnifying glass and an additional light source help to see even short and thin hairs. But during a long procedure, the eyes get tired of the bright light.

Not so long ago, automatic tongs appeared on the market. They have a design consisting of two tweezers - internal and external.

The inner one grasps the selected hair and then slides inside the outer tweezers. Such a device allows you to make the procedure quickly and painlessly.

In order to independently use such a device, practice will be required, so automatic tongs have not yet received widespread use.

The electrical device for eyebrow correction differs from the classic tweezers. But since it is called - electric tweezers, it is placed on a par with ordinary eyebrow tweezers.

The design of the electric tweezers allows you to capture the desired hair and, by acting with low voltage, destroy the bulb.

The appliance does not get rid of unwanted hair forever, but
eyebrows plucked out with electric tongs do not need correction for a long time.

There are manufacturers who specialize in the manufacture and sale of tools only, and there are universal companies that also produce various cosmetic products. There are budget options for people with middle income, and there are luxury goods.

Not every woman immediately understands which manufacturer to give preference to. It is better to focus on the quality and functionality of products, consumer reviews and personal preferences.

How to choose?

When choosing tweezers, you must first decide on the shape of the eyebrows and decide which tool is best suited.

The main selection criteria for professional eyebrow tweezers include the following:

form - type of tool edge design,
production material (stainless steel tweezers with anti-slip rubberized inserts are considered the best option),
type (universal, automatic or backlit),
manufacturing company
price segment.

Unfortunately, not always the first purchase can be successful. You can purchase professional tweezers of luxury, but you will not be able to work with it. "His" tool to feel. As professional cosmetologists note, sometimes it is only through trial and experiment that one can find the perfect tweezers for eyebrow formation.

How to pull out correctly?

So, tweezers purchased, now you need to learn how to use it correctly. Usually you want to immediately test the tool. However, do not rush, because one mistake - and the shape of the eyebrow can be spoiled. Read the recommendations and advice of cosmetologists, study the various techniques, select the form - and only then proceed to implement the plan.

Correction technology

First, hand hygiene and disinfection are necessary, and only then it will be possible to proceed with the procedure. Do not forget to treat your eyebrows with an antiseptic agent.

With one hand gently tighten the skin, the second - with careful and careful movements, remove hairs one by one. After correction, apply a cosmetic gel that relieves irritation and relieves injured skin. You can use the usual pieces of ice, which quickly relieve pain.

To exclude the possibility of ingrowth of hairs after the procedure, you should pull out them in the direction of growth. Exfoliating scrubbing procedures also prevent subsequent hair ingrowth.

How to make a form yourself?

The bend, size and shape of the brows are selected according to the type of face. There are broken eyebrows, curved, arched, house, horizontal and ascending.

To decide on the form, take in your hands an eye pencil and draw three points on your eyebrow:

Attach a pencil by connecting the wing of the nose and the inner corner of the eye in one line - this will be the beginning of the eyebrow.
The vertical line connects the wing of the nose and the upper border of the iris of the eye - this is the highest point of the eyebrow.
The third line connects the wing of the nose and the outer corner of the eye - this is the end of the eyebrow.

How to sterilize at home?

Regardless of whether you perform eyebrow correction at the beauty salon or beauty center, trusting the hands of professionals, or doing everything yourself, do not forget about the cleanliness of the instruments used. Eyebrow tweezers need to be washed (you can use ordinary solid water, but distilled water is better), disinfect and sterilize.

If in beauty salons for sterilization of cosmetology tools use various special devices (ultraviolet sterilizer, dry-heat cabinet or glossperinic sterilizer), then the implementation of this procedure at home is doubtful. The best option is to buy a small quartz lamp or a glass-glass sterilizer at an affordable price.

How to fix?

That the cosmetology tool did not break, it is necessary to use it for designated purpose. Precautionary measures can eliminate unnecessary problems with the repair or unplanned sharpening of eyebrow tweezers. For example, frequent wearing of tweezers without a case in a purse or cosmetic bag increases the risk of a tool breaking.

However, anything happens in life. Tweezers can deform or break even as the result of an accidental fall on the floor. Without the skillful hands of the master can not do, because in this case will need straightening and straightening. After repair, you should make sure that the tweezers are in good condition: check that the tips are evenly closed.

How to sharpen?

Using the same tweezers for a long time, you may notice that it becomes more and more difficult to work with the tool. That hair can not be removed, the shape can not be correctly adjusted. Often, girls decide to buy a new "assistant" and make a mistake. The mistake lies in the fact that the “old” tool did not fail, but only its tips were dull. Eyebrow tweezers, which are used at home, should be sharpened once every 6-7 months, and tools from professional beauty salons once every 2-3 months, since there the intensity of use is higher.

You can sharpen eyebrow tweezers yourself, for this you will need sandpaper. Make sure that the movements are uniform and accurate, no need to rush. Treat the inside first, then the outside.

If you are not confident in your abilities, it is better to seek the help of a professional. The master of sharpening cosmetology tools sharpens your “assistant” perfectly.

How can you pull out the eyebrows if there are no tweezers?

Using tweezers or tweezers to shape eyebrows is the easiest and most affordable way. However, there are alternative methods and devices that are used to create the perfect shape of the eyebrows. They can successfully replace professional tools:

strings (this technology requires experience and skill)
wax (as in the previous version, one cannot do without the skills or the help of a professional cosmetologist),
trimmer (suitable for women with high skin sensitivity and low pain threshold, as the device does not pull hairs out, but simply cuts them),
eyebrow epilator (this method has a number of disadvantages, among which emit soreness and duration of the procedure, as well as a high probability of subsequent hair ingrowth).

Eyebrow tweezers are the “helper” in every woman’s cosmetics bag, without which it’s impossible to achieve the perfect shape of eyebrows. If we talk about whether this tool is needed, the answer is definitely affirmative. The use of tweezers for eyebrow shaping is deservedly considered the least traumatic and very painless method. To perform the procedure, no special skills are required, it is enough to follow the general rules and recommendations of more experienced masters.

Want to have perfect eyebrows - buy quality tweezers. Product reviews from the best manufacturers are almost always positive. When choosing tweezers or tweezers, you should pay attention to the quality and strength of the material used, the shape and type of the tool, the degree of sharpening.

Tweezers with straight ends - this is a classic. Most often used for professional purposes. Convenient for correcting thick eyebrows. Their wide straight ends allow you to pick up several hairs at once, which speeds up the time of the correction.

Pointy

The tool with the pointed ends allows to carry out correction independently and without strong painful sensations. With a sharp edge you can easily pick up even the smallest unwanted hair. In order not to damage the skin, use the device very carefully..

Automatic pizza

It is a design with retractable edges, which, when squeezing tweezers, seize a hair and, immediately moving in, pull it out. This technique of eyebrow correction makes the procedure less painful, but requires skill and practice.

Backlit

Another interesting model in the cosmetic market is backlit eyebrow tweezers. Convenient to work in low light conditions. With prolonged use, the eyes may get tired, so this type of tool is not the best option for masters who perform mass eyebrow correction.

Popular brands

Not knowing which criteria to choose in when choosing to buy tweezers, we begin to pay attention to brands. The most popular ones are:

"ZINGER" (Germany) - perhaps the most famous trademark, which appeared in Russia in 1998. Always collects the most positive feedback from consumers,
"SEPHORA" (France) is a brand under which high-quality decorative cosmetics and various tools are produced. The products of this brand are of good quality and beautiful design.
"METZGER" (Germany) - the global giant in the manufacture of cosmetic tools. In the Russian market appeared at the beginning of this century. All products are made of high alloy steel.

In addition to the above, pay attention to the following brands:

"KAIZER" (Germany),
"HUBERT" (Germany),
"YVES ROCHER" (France),
"MISSHA" (Korea)
"DIVAGE" (Russia),
"SALLY HANSEN" (USA)
"QVS" (Australia),
"STALEKS" (Ukraine).

Tweezers of these brands also collect a lot of positive feedback from consumers, thanks to the convenience and durability of use.

Tool edge

When picking tweezers, carefully inspect its edges. The tips should be burr-free and very tight to each other, without forming gaps.:

On the inner working surface, sometimes there may be a neat small incision for better adhesion with the eyebrow hairs.

Tweezers shape

The fully rubberized base of the tweezers, while not allowing the tool to slide in the hands, doesn’t bring much comfort either. Such rubber linings can make the tool heavier.

Some manufacturers make holes on both sides of the tweezers in the form of drops or peas (as a rule, to "fix" their index and thumb in them). This prevents the tool from slipping during operation. Sometimes in order to avoid slipping enamel or notches are applied on tweezers.

Tweezers rules

When performing eyebrow correction, it is important to adhere to a number of rules:

Make a warm compress on the skin in the eyebrows or a little blow your face,
Disinfect tweezers, hands and working area of the face,
Lightly stretch the skin around the eyebrow with one hand, and the other remove hairs in the direction of the growth line. Such manipulation will make the procedure less painful,
Lubricate the skin with a cosmetic gel that eliminates pain. You can wipe the irritated place with ice cubes.

Storage and care

To protect tweezers from premature damage, you must observe the following rules:

Use it only for its intended purpose,
Store it in a case that will not allow it to deform if accidentally dropped,
Allow to dry after using and disinfecting,
If he is blunt, give it to a specialist for grinding. Do not try to grind it yourself.

We hope, taking into account all the recommendations, you will select the appropriate instrument for yourself, with which you will be able to carry out the correction with comfort.

Criterias of choice

In order to acquire the most convenient and suitable tool, it will not be enough to determine its particular variety, since there are other selection criteria. Their full list is given below:

The shape of the surface of the working ends. It is desirable if it is as rounded as possible, since this will eliminate the possibility of accidental scarring of the skin during procedures with eyebrows.
The behavior of the tool when closing. It is necessary to make sure that the working ends are tightly pressed to each other, otherwise they will poorly capture the hairs.
Surface features. A quality tool has an absolutely smooth outer surface and is sharpened from the inside. If these rules are not observed, it will be quite problematic to get rid of recently grown hairs with a small length.
Sharpening tool from the outside. Not all models meet this criteria, but it is good if this rule is observed, as it provides additional security during eyebrow correction.
The convenience of use. Before making a purchase, you need some time to support the tweezers in your hands in order to make sure that it does not cause any inconvenience during operation.

An important role is also played by the place of purchase, it is recommended to make such purchases exclusively in specialized stores and professional cosmetic departments. Their staff will help you choose the most suitable option for specific needs and sharpen tweezers if you need to.

How to use

Before using tweezers, you must consider the desired shape of the eyebrows, and then regularly correct them. If this rule is observed, the systematically removed hairs gradually begin to grow much slower.

The procedure itself is as follows:

Initially, it is necessary to wash your hands with soap and water, after which the skin area around the eyebrows is exposed to the disinfection process. By the time the procedure starts, the entire instrument must also be clean.
Movements of one hand should be carefully and gently pushing the skin in different directions, and the other to remove excess hair using tweezers. If you follow this rule, the pain will not actually be felt.
Each hair is removed only separately, because otherwise there is a risk of disrupting the intended shape of the eyebrows.
After removing all excess hair, the surface of the skin near the eyebrows is treated with a special soothing gel. You can attach a small piece of ice or make a cold compress, which will allow to calm the irritated skin process a little.
If there are ingrown hairs in the eyebrow area, then the procedure can be started only after preliminary steaming of the skin and using scrub. For removal in this case, tweezers-scissors or tools with pointed surfaces are best.
Exfoliation of the dead upper layers of the skin and correction only in the direction of hair growth will allow you to get rid of this problem in the future.

Care, storage and handling

Eyebrow tweezers are not an eternal tool, it has its own operational life. You can increase it by following certain rules that are listed below:

Storage is carried out only in a dedicated case.
The tool must be protected from falls that could damage it or significantly reduce the service life.
After each use, tweezers must be treated with any disinfectant, before starting the procedure, you must do the same. The most popular treatment for this care is Miramistin.
Timely sharpen the tweezers and do not use a tool that has become blunt.

Sharpening tweezers

Timely sharpening is an integral part of the compulsory care for this type of tool.

It is carried out in two cases:

Tweezers blunted. This can easily be determined by the fact that with its help it has become much more difficult to capture a single hair, the removal also begins to take much more time and effort.
Preventive sharpening, which is carried out once every six months.

You can also sharpen tweezers in two different ways:

Contact the professionals working in the relevant workshops or beauty salons.
Conduct self-sharpening, there is nothing difficult, you only need to gently rub the ends of the working parts of the sandpaper.

How to pull out eyebrows without tweezers

There are many different ways to correct eyebrows without using a special tool for this, here are some of them:

Using the thread to give the eyebrows the desired shape, but this method has a significant drawback: to carry out a similar procedure with your own hands, while not possessing certain skills and experience, is not possible.
Trimmer haircut is a very good option because it does not require special skills and does not irritate the skin at all.
The use of a special eyebrow epilator is a common method, but the abuse of this method can lead to the ingrowth of individual hairs, besides, the pain when choosing this option is much stronger than that of most analogues.
The use of wax strips is another well-known method, but it is not recommended to practice at home, because without the help of a specialist it is very difficult to apply the product correctly to the eyebrows.
