How to choose and use an eyebrow trimmer?
In the 21st century, thick natural eyebrows are in vogue, and therefore today many women strive to take care of them. Eyebrow shaping is usually done either with tweezers at home or at an appointment with a professional beautician. However, the most convenient and inexpensive way to groom your brows is with the trimmer, an easy-to-use tool.
What it is?
At first glance, this eyebrow machine looks like an ordinary pen, at the end of which there is a nozzle with blades. The tool has this shape for reasons of convenience: it is comfortable to hold it in your hands during manipulations.
A new-fashioned device, which has appeared on our market relatively recently, helps to remove all unwanted hairs in the area of the browbone, including those that are not subject to conventional forceps.
Moreover, its advantage is that it neatly cuts off all unnecessary, and does not pull out the hairs directly from the root, causing discomfort. Trimmer, or eyebrow styler - literally salvation for girls with sensitive skin. It is also suitable for those who cannot remove very fine hairs with forceps. It does not irritate the skin of the face and does not cause microtraumas, but allows you to gently and without cuts carry out the procedure to remove unwanted hair.
Among the advantages of an eyebrow trimmer are:
- ease of handling, care, storage;
- maximum saving of time and effort (as well as money for a beautician);
- painlessness of the whole process from start to finish;
- compactness of the machine, because you can always take it with you;
- you can always experiment with your image, periodically giving your eyebrows one shape or another;
- thanks to the maneuverability of the tool, it can be used to remove hair from particularly difficult areas (moles, nose, ears).
Of course, the trimmer has its drawback - short-term effect, because trimmed hairs grow back very quickly, unlike those that have been removed from the root. For this reason, the procedure is performed on average once every 2 days.
What are they?
Stylers are made for both women and men. Women's and men's trimmers are equipped with different sets of attachments and differ in appearance: trimmers for girls, for example, are smaller and lighter. Male models are aimed at correcting sideburns and beards, and are used to treat the auricle and nasal cavity.
This trimmer-razor can be used to model a beard, however, it should be borne in mind that it will not replace a regular machine or an electric razor.
The female trimmer is designed with sensitive and delicate skin in mind. With models of this type, the set almost always comes with a whole collection of various attachments so that any woman can give her eyebrows the desired shape.
Eyebrow stylers are classified according to how they work. They can be connected either to the network or powered by an internal resource: battery / battery. There is also a combined option.
Battery or battery trimmers are most often taken on trips or business trips. It seems that such a device does not work for long - only an hour without charging, but this is quite enough for a full-fledged carrying out of several procedures. That is The trimmer with battery can be safely taken, for example, on a week-long trip.
Users of such a machine should remember to recharge it from time to time, as if the device has a low charge, the blades rotate more slowly.
AC trimmers are not as convenient option, but suitable for people who spend a lot of time making adjustments. The most practical type of trimmer is by far the combination trimmer. It can work both on batteries and from the mains, used in any convenient place at any suitable time.
Choosing an eyebrow machine should tailored to your needs... For example, cordless trimmers are mobile, lightweight and well-shaped, and operate quietly, but their charge is short. Networked machines can work as long as necessary, but the length of their cord does not allow you to stay far from the outlet during the process. And the combo trimmer is an option that will suit almost any user.
There are also professional and household stylers.
Professional ones have a high price, they can work for a long time without recharging, they are small and ergonomic. Household trimmers are quite heavy and less easy to use.
And the last classification of trimmers is their separation. for mechanical, or manual, and electrical. The former look like ordinary scissors or combs with blades. They are not as popular as electric trimmers, which have a motor in them.

How to choose?
To get a good trimmer that will serve you faithfully and make your eyebrows luxurious, there are many factors to consider when buying it.
- First of all the quality of the material plays an important role, from which the model is made, and only then its design. It is recommended to buy a machine with stainless steel blades, which have a long service life. More expensive models are titanium coated. Sometimes you can find ceramic blades, but they are not as good as the version with "stainless steel". The body of the model itself can be made of plastic. A trimmer made of this material usually has a low price, it is light in weight and practical. However, it should be borne in mind that such a product can only withstand light mechanical shocks and breaks easily.
Important! The product must not have a strong chemical smell (for example, a plastic smell).
- It is better to choose a trimmer in person, rather than ordering online. It is necessary to assess how comfortable the interaction with the device will be: it should not be heavy and should fit comfortably in the hand. However, if absolutely necessary, you can study video reviews or read the section with customer reviews in the online store to find out the real characteristics of the model, its real pros and cons.
- Don't dwell on just eyebrow stylers, since some models have wide functionality and nice additional options. That is, the number and types of attachments are important in choosing a trimmer. At the same time, you need to competently approach their choice, since a large set is expensive, but in reality it may turn out that not all attachments will be used. Some brands offer replacement parts separately: you can create your own set where each attachment will be useful.
- It should also be borne in mind that trimmers have specific characteristics depending on their type (male and female models).For example, a men's set may not contain attachments for delicate women's skin.
- When choosing a styler, it is recommended to pay attention to how many modes it has. It is ideal if it has 2 modes: one is softer, and the second is intensive, since different areas of the body require different treatment.
- Weight the device is also important, because the cutting process lasts more than one minute, and the hand can quickly get tired.
- It is advisable to make a purchase in official brand storesso as not to stumble upon a fake. Online shopping, although it is cheaper, does not allow you to examine the model in detail, hold it in your hands.
