More than just hair-- another way to accentuate your look!
by Ryan Chambers on 05/20/12
An important topic that many don't associate necessarily with hair is eyebrows. Which, are hair.
Eyebrows can be trimmed, plucked, bleached and tinted. Completely covered and redesigned. There are so many shapes that can accentuate your eyes and project the image and effect that you desire.
I think it is extremely important for women to recognize that their eyebrows are just as much apart of their image as the hair on their head. Here are some interesting tidbits for brows--
* Brow hair does NOT grow back thicker. Constant plucking can make the hair stop growing altogether. (A good or bad thing, depending on you, of course.)
* If plucking is especially painful, a small bit of Orajel or similar toothache medicine rubbed over the area will numb the skin and make it easier to concentrate on your task!
* It often helps to take a white pencil or concealer to mark the hairs you want to remove.
* It is easier and less painful to remove hair in the direction that they grow.
* Having naturally nicely shaped brows is fantastic. It doesn't mean you shouldn't tweeze. Stray hairs are unsightly and should be maintained even if you don't pluck the rest of your brow.
* Also, if plucking is too painful, you can also wax. There is also eyebrow threading. Tweezers are NOT your only option!
If you change your hair color often, you can adjust your brows to match if necessary. Bleaching them can really open up the face and give a softer look, whether or not your hair is blond. And if you go darker, you can tint your brows, or simply pencil them in darker. I would not attempt tinting however on your own; many salons offer eyebrow and eyelash tinting. Also, if you're coloring your hair red, adding red to your brows is not always the most flattering option; a medium brown often offsets reds nicely, depending on tone, of course.

Low-maintenance is a running theme, and just in time for summer-- a high fashion take on the classic ponytail is all over the runway. With tousled center parts, ringlets, and slicked back waves working their way into both blowouts and updos, hair should look as relaxed as you.
