How to trim eyebrows with scissors？
Proper grip: Avoid mistakes caused by incorrect force application
The grip of the eyebrow scissors is the first crucial step. The hole corresponding to the thumb is usually slightly larger, but it is easy to grip it incorrectly. Note that the concave part of the scissors handle is specifically designed for the index finger. If the index finger feels uncomfortable, it is likely due to an incorrect grip, and adjustments should be made promptly to avoid affecting the precision of the trim.
Comb orientation: Incorrect orientation can lead to over-trimming
Always remember: “The comb side should be against the eyebrows!” This means the blade of the eyebrow scissors must face outward so you can clearly see where you’re cutting and avoid cutting too much due to obstructed vision. Many people end up with bald patches in their eyebrows because the comb is oriented incorrectly, leading to misjudgment of the blade’s position.
Cutting position: Don’t be misled by the top of the comb
After combing the eyebrows upward, focus on the position of the blade (not the top of the comb). The point where the blades intersect is the actual area that will be trimmed. If you trim in the middle of the eyebrow, as shown in the example, it’s easy to create small bald patches. It’s recommended to lift the eyebrow comb slightly higher, position the blade as close as possible to the upper edge of the eyebrow, then adjust downward gradually while observing the trimming results.
Beginner’s tips: Light touch + multiple trims
For beginners, “light touch” is a must. If you’re worried about trimming too much, trim only a small amount of eyebrow hair each time and repeat the process multiple times. Achieve the desired length through gradual adjustments rather than aiming for a perfect result in one go. During the trimming process, use the eyebrow comb frequently to tidy the eyebrows and check for asymmetry or over-trimming.
Avoid common pitfalls: Key details determine success or failure
To avoid bald patches in eyebrows, the core principles are proper grip, keeping the comb close to the eyebrows, paying attention to the blade position, and using a light touch. Beginners are advised to trim in well-lit conditions, use a magnifying glass to observe details when necessary, and maintain patience. Once proficient, they can then attempt to adjust more complex eyebrow shapes.
