For those with a higher pain threshold, try tweezing. It will definitely hurt as you are pulling the hairs out but the end result will be worth it. As the hairs are being pulled out from the roots, they won't grow back as fast and you won't see any hair remnants unlike when shaving.

Honestly though, it doesn't hurt that much and you will get used to it after awhile.

Shaving the stray hairs around your eyebrows is practically painless and is a great alternative for those who cannot take pain. However, you will need to be very careful to prevent any cuts and accidental hair loss on your actual brows!

It's easy to get carried away when shaving your eyebrows as it's painless and quick but remember to take all the time you need to achieve brows on fleek.

#2 Tweeze your brows after showering

We are not going to deny that tweezing can be painful but if you prefer this technique, then make it easier for yourself by only tweezing after taking a shower.

The warm water from your shower will open up your hair follicles and the hair can be pulled out more easily. This will make the process less painful.

#3 Groom your brows in a brightly lit area

Don't take the risk and groom your eyebrows in a place with bad lighting! That can result in a disaster where you accidentally shave off more than you should or pluck a hair that shouldn't be removed.

Go to a brightly lit area in your home so that you can see all the hairs that you need to remove.

#4 Follow your natural eyebrow shape

Follow your natural brow shape when grooming them as you wouldn't want to end up with eyebrows that are too thin or in a weird shape. Only remove the stray hairs around your brows.

But, if you are confident and know exactly what you are going for, go ahead and shape it according to what you want.

#5 Draw the outlines of your brows before tweezing or shaving

Another easy way to know which hairs to pluck is to draw in the outlines for your brows. All the hairs that are outside of the outlines need to be removed.
