Waxing for some women, is preferable to plucking for various
reasons. What you have to remember, is that both procedures
are going to smart a little, and that the hair will grow back
at approximately the same rate, in anywhere from 8-10weeks.
At that time you will need to decide whether to wax as soon
as hair reappears, or wait until it is long enough to be removable
with wax. If you have particularly thick eyebrow hairs, the
re-growth process can be painfully obvious, making it difficult
to hide them under eyebrow powder or other coloring.
Anyone can wax their eyebrows, unless they are extremely sensitive,
in which case you might want to opt for a professional job,
or other method. An astringent to clean and de-sensitive the
area first, is a good idea. Waxes are available commercially,
that can be heated inside a pot of water to soften it. It should
then be applied to the areas that you want hair removed from,
in the direction the hair grows. But do not let it dry! After
using an application spatula or brush to control the extent
of the waxing, immediately lay a small strip of material (muslin
is preferred) on top of the waxed area. Pull the skin taut with
one hand, and use the other to lift the end of the strip, and
remove it quickly in the opposite direction to which the hair
grows.
After you are done, avoid make-up, creams, or sun exposure until
the skin is less irritated.
