How Often Should You Wax Your Eyebrows?

Perfect brows are one of life’s pleasures. Not having to pluck or tweeze every few days to achieve your look is priceless. There are plenty of ways to achieve clean, symmetrical eyebrows that accentuate your face. 

Choosing the right beauty service for brow maintenance is a personal preference. Some love threading, and some like the pluck approach, but waxing is where it’s at for us!

But, how often should you go in and have your eyebrows waxed to keep them perfect?

We’re exploring the benefit of eyebrow waxing and answering all your burning questions today. Jump in, and let’s get going!

What are the benefits to waxing your eyebrows?

Many approaches to taming your eyebrow hair leave uneven results that don’t last. Out of all the beauty services, waxing provides a clean, manicured shape that won’t let you down. Beyond just a fierce look, there are some other benefits to waxing that you’ll love!

Long-lasting, consistent hair removal results

After an eyebrow wax session, you can expect the results to stick around for three to four weeks on average. The best part, though, is how consistent the results are. Because you’re working with an esthetician instead of tweezers and a mirror, they can plan your look.

Before applying the wax, they’ll map out your brows and your desired look to get it right. They’ll make sure you get the results you want each time! 

The hair grows back thinner

A side benefit of waxing besides removing unwanted hair is thinner growth over time. This process removes hair from the root, and not all roots grow back. Consistent waxing begins to thin out the hairs that eventually grow back, leaving less to wax. It also causes the hair strands to grow thinner, making removal easier.  

Waxing directs hair growth better than other hair removal methods

Before you start waxing, your eyebrows are on different hair cycles. Unlike plucking, waxing removes all hairs in the desired area. When you’ve been through several sessions, your hair will start to grow on the same cycle. Your results will last longer as you wax more regularly, eventually lasting up to a month. 

Factors that affect how often your brows should be waxed

Not everyone will enjoy the same results from eyebrow waxing. Depending on the following factors, you’ll want to schedule more frequently at first.

How fast does your eyebrow hair grow back?

This is one of the most significant factors when you first start having your eyebrows waxed. Hair that grows quickly will need more frequent sessions. Treatments begin to last longer as you get your hair on the same growth cycle. And as we said, fewer follicles produce hair after several sessions. When that happens, you’ll have less hair growing back to deal with!

What type of hair do you have?

Different types of hair react to waxing in varying ways. Your follicles determine your hair type: thick, fine, or straight. Thick eyebrow hairs are bushy and full and grow back noticeably faster. Fine eyebrows grow lighter and don’t show as quickly as thick brows do. Straight hair means you’re already working with nice brows; they just might need some shaping.  

Is your aftercare routine effective? 

Aftercare is nearly as important as a skilled esthetician concerning overall results. Waxing not only removes hair but also exfoliates your skin. Therefore, you’ve got to take care of your sensitive skin after an eyebrow waxing session. 

Give yourself a few hours after treatment before getting the area wet, and avoid sweaty activities for 24 hours, at least. Don’t put any scented product around your eyes, and don’t touch the area if you don’t have to. Wash your hands before putting them near your eyes to reduce the likelihood of infection. 

The shape of your eyebrows matter

If you’re doing a simple shape-up, you’ll enjoy results longer than shooting for a high-fashion look. A dramatic brow shape removes more hair than subtle looks, so they need more maintenance. 

Did your eyebrow waxer do an effective job?

Booking with a skilled esthetician regularly guarantees more consistent results. If you’re trying out a new salon, make sure to check out their socials. Most reputable spas post pictures of their work so you can get a gauge of what to expect. And if you’re still unsure, give them a call and discuss what you’re trying to achieve. 

As with any beauty professional, if you don’t like their vibe, you probably won’t love the results!
