Love Your Brows Even More 

Let's face it, our brows are arguably the most instantly recognizable facial feature.

Our brows help us to communicate and express emotion-

We flirt,show anger or frustration just by using our eyebrows.

In some cultures, eyebrows  signify social status.

In most films and animation, brows differentiate the villain from the hero or heroine.

"Bad brows are like a bad handshake but worst because they're on your face ."

In the real world, brows play a role in how we perceive others:

Too far apart brows  the person  surprised.

A uni brow can reflect anger.

Too high arches gives a look of perpetual surprise.

Well shaped,tailored brows are attractive, our eyes appear brighter and lifted,our face looks younger and cheeks more lifted.

In my opinion, brow shaping is almost like cosmetic surgery!

Here are five tips that can improve the health and appearance of your brows.

Pamper them with extra special treatment.

• For glossier,shinier eyebrows,massage brow growth enhancer such as castor oil into the brows.If experiencing hair  loss due to  aging or illness, a peptide based brow serum combats thinning and speeds up growth.

Proper maintenance is important.

• Save yourself from having a browtastrophy by getting the best professional treatment (approximately every three weeks).

• Talk your therapist through your brows

• Discuss what you would like done, what bits you want off and what shape you would like.

Never ever tweeze.

• Your brows will grow back sporadically and out of control.

• Exfoliating ingrown hairs, lifts the hairs from the root, and makes hair removal  easier.

Hydration,exercise and a balanced diet are necessary for hair growth and lustre.

• A diet rich in B vitamins (these are abundant in meat,grains,vegetables,dairy,bananas,mushroom and eggs) will nourish brows internally.Vitamin B7 otherwise known as Biotin is great for overall hair and brow health.

Suitable pencils, brow powders, tinting, brow gels can make a huge difference.

• Make sure the colour is not too dark when you fill them in.

• Look underneath your hair and match your brow colour.

• Since pencils can look harsh and unrealistic,use hair like strokes that mimic actual hairs.
