How to style eyebrows

Beautiful eyebrows – an important part of your look. They make the eyes more expressive, highlight their beauty, and visually adjust facial features. Therefore, eyebrow care is one of the basics of perfect makeup, both professional and everyday. But it's important to know how to do it correctly. We’ll tell you what to use for eyebrow styling, what procedures exist for this, and which products are worth adding to your makeup bag.

Lamination – a method for long-lasting styling

This is one of the popular procedures among brow specialists. The essence of lamination is creating a professional styling that lasts for an extended period. The long-lasting fixation is ensured by using special formulations that penetrate deeply into the hair structure, making them more manageable. The result lasts for about 3 months.

Lamination is a safe procedure. The products contain moisturizing and nourishing components that care for the hairs. Additionally, lamination can be combined with Botox. The procedure does not dry out the skin or hairs, nor does it damage their structure. Of course, this is provided it is done correctly and high-quality professional cosmetics are used. Therefore, this procedure should be entrusted to experienced specialists who work with proven products.

To provide long-lasting fixation for the eyebrows, several steps are performed:

• Thorough cleansing. Soft foams and gels are used to remove sebum, impurities, and decorative cosmetics;
• Application of a coloring formula to give the hairs an even color;
• Styling to give the hairs the desired direction and shape;
• Application of a fixing formula.

Lamination is a great solution if you don't want to spend time styling every day. Additionally, the coloring stage helps conceal gray hairs and make the color more natural. The procedure is suitable for almost everyone, including girls with unruly curly or fine and sparse eyebrows. However, there are cases when it is better to avoid it:

• Pregnancy;
• Skin irritation in the eyebrow area;
• Herpes;
• Ophthalmological diseases;
• Individual intolerance to components of the cosmetic products or allergies.

Lamination is also not suitable for girls who love experimenting with looks and makeup. They need the ability to change the shape through daily styling. For this, you can use both special cosmetics and home remedies. We’ll talk about the latter now.

How to fix eyebrows with homemade products

You can style your eyebrows at home without cosmetics. For example, common household items such as soap, petroleum jelly, or clear hygienic balm can help. These should be applied to the eyebrows, evenly distributed, and then the hairs should be combed in the desired direction to shape them. This type of fixation can last a few hours.

However, using such products has its inconveniences. They are not very easy to use, and they can't provide reliable and long-lasting fixation, especially in windy weather. Moreover, in the cold, such soap can freeze and form a white coating, and in humid weather, it can easily wear off. To avoid these problems, it's better to use special cosmetic fixing products available in various types.

Types of products for daily styling

The beauty industry offers a wide selection of makeup products. Specifically, eyebrow styling products are available:

• Gels;
• Waxes;
• Soaps.

They differ in composition, texture, and the result after application. Let’s look at each in more detail.

Eyebrow fixing gels

Eyebrow gel is the most popular product in the eyebrow styling category. It is easy to use, and Zola products contain keratin and vitamins that care for, strengthen, and nourish the hairs.

Gels come in transparent and tinted versions. Transparent gels can be combined with pencils or eyeshadows. Apply them before the fixing product.

To ensure your gel eyebrow styling lasts all day, it's important to do it properly. Apply the product with a brush, then comb the hairs downwards and sideways to ensure the product covers them from all sides. Give them the desired direction and shape. Before going outside, let the product dry for a bit (this usually takes 5-10 minutes).

Eyebrow wax

Eyebrow wax is denser in texture than gel. The product is very economical, provides excellent fixation, and is convenient to use. Wax is perfect for unruly brows. It makes the hairs more flexible, allowing them to be styled more easily, and adds shine.

It’s best to apply wax with a brush or mini brush. As with the gel, first distribute the product on the eyebrows, comb the hairs downward, then give them the desired direction. Use wax in very small amounts.

Zola’s wax also contains vitamins and nourishing components that moisturize and care for the brows. It is available in different volumes for ordering.

Eyebrow fixing soap

Eyebrow soap is a special product that has a texture similar to wax. It also provides reliable fixation throughout the day and is easy to use.

There are two ways to apply soap: dry and wet. With the dry method, apply the product to the eyebrows and comb them with a brush. This method creates a natural styling effect and adds volume. When wet, the soap is moistened, which provides stronger fixation and shine, similar to lamination.

Zola’s soap is available in small bars that are convenient to use. The formula contains aloe vera extract and glycerin to care for the hairs.

How to choose the best product

Having reviewed the types of cosmetic products, it’s important to pay attention to a few factors:

• Ease of use;
• Desired effect;
• Hair structure. For unruly eyebrows, wax or soap is better;
• Presence of pigment;
• Quality of ingredients.

A quality product ensures ease of use, reliable fixation, and hair care. Zola products meet all international standards and are available in various formats. To choose the best product, try several options and find your perfect one.
