If you have very long or unruly eyebrows, plucking and waxing may not be enough to keep your brows in control. Trimming eyebrows with a small pair of sharp manicure scissors can make for a cleaner look. Trim slowly and sparingly to keep from removing too much hair. Eyebrows normally take between four and eight weeks to regrow completely.

Difficulty: Easy
