EYE BROW ARCHING

Plucking out the wild, unruly hairs of the eye brows to give a shapely, smooth, well-groomed appearance is known as eye brow arching.

The natural arch or growth of the eye brow follows the curved line of the eye socket. Most people have a disorderly growth of hairs both above and below this natural line. These hairs should be removed to complete the general facial improvement.

The skin is very sensitive around the eyes and because of this some people cannot endure eye brow arching. For these persons the eye brows may be shaped by shaving or by the application of commercial hair removers known as DEPILATORIES. These methods, however, tend to make the regrowth heavier.

REQUISITES FOR EYE BROW ARCHING

1. Cold or Tissue Cream.
2. Cotton.
3. Hot Water.
4. Eye brow Brush.
5. Eye Brow Tweezers.
6. Witch Hazel or Alcohol.
7. Peroxide.

PROCEDURE
