Want to Wax Your Eyebrows at Home? Don't Skip ThisWe promise you won't rip off half an eyebrow after reading this. |
Wax On, Wax Off As is the case with most things in life, less is more. "If you apply too much wax, it will start to glob up. Once you apply the strip, it can get pushed too far into the brow, removing hair that you don't want to take off," notes Crooks.
Rather than use the typical popsicle-style stick, Van Jones recommends a smaller orange stick for more precise application. Make sure strips are small; cut them into one-quarter-inch by three-inch pieces if they're too large.
Smear the wax on in the direction of the hair, then smooth a strip over it. Hold skin tautly with one hand and remove the strip with the other. Pull it off parallel to the face (as if you were going to fold the strip back over itself), not straight out, in the opposite direction of hair growth, advises Van Jones.
