Sharpening can be both factory and individual. It is better to choose double-sided tweezers for eyebrows with individual sharpening. When acquiring a tool, take it in your hands, run the canvas in the palm of your hand - does it cling, scratch the skin? Check the level of groundiness. Make sure that the tool does not have chipping, is quite sharp and easy to use. The last criterion is also important. After all, if during the procedure (especially during training) to press the tweezers you have to exert titanic efforts, an already not very pleasant exercise can turn into significant nerves.

Backlit tweezers. Relatively recently appeared on store shelves. Many customers choose it. However, here, as when making any other purchases, you should pay attention to the shape, appearance and manufacturer.

When choosing the right inventory, you can purchase several for quality work with various types of correction. With their help, you can create any desired image. To comb long hairs, it is necessary to use a special wax and a thick-fleeced brush for eyebrows.

What is different tweezers

Most eyebrow tweezers have a similar shape and about the same length. They differ mainly in the shape of the working edge and the material from which they are made. Tweezers of various plastics, metal alloys and stainless steel are sold in stores and online stores. Regardless of whether you purchase tweezers for work or personal use, choose only stainless steel.

Plastic tweezers can contain toxic substances that, penetrating through the skin or with inhaled air, will slowly poison the body. Nippers of an alloy of unknown composition are also a dubious choice. Depending on the composition of the alloy and the method of its production, such tools can become rusty, quickly dull, bend. With regular disinfection, they will be destroyed by corrosion. The best choice is tools made of austenitic grade 12x18H10T structural steel. They have a high corrosion resistance, do not rust with prolonged contact with water, withstand exposure to corrosive media, serve for a long time, and sharpen well. This steel grade is used to make a number of medical instruments, including tweezers.

Since the geometry of forceps for professional and personal use is the same, they are better to buy in specialized stores that sell products for beauty salons. Even in such stores, the prices of tools can vary greatly. If you see 2 practically identical tweezers of the same manufacturer, differing in cost by 1.5-2 times, this means that the cheaper instance is made of lower quality steel that contains microvoids, or the steel is cheaper way and is less durable, softer. Such tweezers fail faster. In the case of an accidental fall, from a height of 20 cm, the hairs normally stop grasping. When you try to sharpen, they form an uneven edge, with fins. In fact, they are not subject to sharpening.

Selection of tweezers in the shape of the working edge

Types of tweezers are determined by:

steel from which it is produced,
the geometric shape of the instrument (it should rest comfortably in the hand, not slip out, in fact, the tweezers should be an extension of the master's hand),
the degree of elasticity in compression (connecting the ends),
the shape of the working edge,
the sharpening method, which should be on both sides with wide-edge tweezers (if you wish, you can sharpen with the repair and maintenance tool or yourself).

Mechanical tweezers for eyebrows produced with 4 forms of the working edge:

straight wide
inclined wide
narrowed
acicular.

There are also automatic type tweezers. It is a retractable design. The retractable part is used to grip a hair, after which it retracts, pulling out a hair. This procedure does not cause any painful sensations, but can only be performed by a master. It is extremely inconvenient for them to independently adjust the shape of the eyebrows.

Some mechanical forceps are made with light. On the tool install a small LED flashlight, which should help better see the hairs. In practice, the effect of such illumination is negligible. The backlight is clearly visible in darkened rooms, in brightly lit rooms it is almost imperceptible. It is strictly forbidden to use such devices in salons, since they cannot be soaked in an antiseptic solution and sterilized in an ultraviolet lamp, especially disinfected in an autoclave, which can cause infection with any viral, fungal and parasitic diseases, including HIV, all strains of hepatitis, etc.

Straight wide hem is good for quick adjustment of thick eyebrows with thick hairs, but does not allow for detailed eyebrow work.

The sloping edge is suitable for all types of eyebrows. It is convenient to use both experienced masters and beginners.

The narrowed edge is most suitable for working with very fine hairs.

The needle-shaped forceps are universal, with a little dexterity they allow you to quickly, beautifully and painlessly correct any eyebrows for both the client and yourself.

Tips to help you choose the right eyebrow tweezers:

Making eyebrows at home

If you have never been engaged in the selection of the form and removal of excess hair, it is better to contact a professional. The wizard will help you to choose the geometry of the eyebrows that best emphasize your beauty, make your face expressive, give recommendations for the care and imposition of makeup.

If you only need to adjust the grown hairs and you have a certain skill, you can remove unwanted hairs yourself. Immediately purchase professional tweezers. There is no fundamental difference in the design between professional and household tongs, but it is much more convenient for a professional to work, they are high-quality and durable. When used individually, will last more than one year.

Choose the shape of the forceps and the geometry of the working edge so that it is convenient for you to grab one hair at a time and pull it out in the direction of growth. The most uncomfortable - with a straight, wide edge. For painless procedures, take the needle-shaped. For self-application, many choose tweezers with a tapered or tapered edge.

Care tweezers

Although the pinch seems to be the simplest fixture, it also requires proper care. To serve it long and smoothly, you need to follow a number of rules.

Pliers can not be dropped: falling causes damage to the working edge. Often, after a fall, even from a low height, tweezers become unusable.
Before the first use and after each use, the forceps are washed under running water with detergent, immersed in an antiseptic solution. If the tool is used by one person, then 10 minutes in a 0.05% solution of Chlorhexidine Bigluconate is sufficient so that the tweezers do not have a nutrient medium for the microorganisms. After the instrument is removed, dried thoroughly and stored in a clean case or a specially designated box.

In the cabin, the device is immersed in a solution of a strong antiseptic, for example, “Optimax” (the concentration and time spent for the solution are prescribed in the instructions and depend on the specific agent).

After the solution, the forceps are sent to the sterilizer, where they stay until the next use.

Tweezers need to be sharpened in time. The sharpening schedule depends on the frequency of use. In salons, where the procedure is in great demand, they adjust the sharpening once in 2-3 months independently or with the master. Individual tweezers can be sharpened. Do it 1 time in 6-7 months, using an elektrochechetochka with a nozzle for scissors. With its help, you can round too sharp corners.

If you wear eyebrow tweezers in a handbag, make sure that the working edge is protected by a cap, and the forceps are placed in a convenient case, which protects it from damage and prevents the tweezers from spoiling the bag and the objects inside it.

Types of eyebrow tweezers

Such tweezers are an important tool in every girl’s arsenal, since eyebrows require special attention and meticulous care. It is important to choose an option that will meet all the requirements for it and not cause discomfort when using.

The following are the main types of tweezers:

A tool with a straight and wide enough working surface is the most common and classic option. The design features allow it to capture not one, but several hairs at once, which is why it is very convenient when working with rather thick eyebrows. In most cases, it is used by specialists in salons, since the peculiarities of the form of the working part make it difficult for them to work independently.
A tool with a bevelled working part is no less common and popular, since such features make it much more convenient for independent use, individual hairs are captured much easier. This option is ideal if the procedure is to remove individual hairs with a coarse structure.
Sharp-edged tool requires some skill to use. Working with eyebrows becomes more difficult, given the design features, such tweezers will not allow more than one hair to be captured at a time. One of the main advantages of this option is the fact that it actually does not cause any pain during the procedure.
Scissors-made tweezers not found such popularity as other species. This is largely due to the complexity of use and the fact that the final result often does not meet expectations. Such scissors in most cases make the eyebrows rather narrow after the corresponding procedure to correct their shape.
Automatic Type Tweezers It is also very difficult to call it a popular variety, since its operation is rather complicated, and it will likely take a long time to get used to such an instrument. All models of this type have a complex structure, in essence the tool consists of twin tweezers of the internal and external types. During the procedure, the inner tool captures and fixes a hair that slides inside the outer forceps. Despite all the difficulties of use, this option has one very significant advantage: the complete absence of pain when working with eyebrows.

In order to acquire the most convenient and suitable tool, it will not be enough to determine its particular variety, since there are other selection criteria. Their full list is below:

The shape of the surface of the working ends. It is desirable if it is as rounded as possible, since this will eliminate the possibility of accidental scarring of the skin during procedures with eyebrows.
The behavior of the tool when closing. It is necessary to make sure that the working ends are tightly pressed to each other, otherwise they will poorly capture the hairs.
Surface features. A quality tool has an absolutely smooth outer surface and is sharpened from the inside. If these rules are not observed, it will be quite problematic to get rid of recently grown hairs with a small length.
Sharpening tool from the outside. Not all models meet this criteria, but it is good if this rule is observed, as it provides additional security during eyebrow correction.
The convenience of use. Before making a purchase, you need some time to support the tweezers in your hands in order to make sure that it does not cause any inconvenience during operation.

An important role is also played by the place of purchase, it is recommended to make such purchases exclusively in specialized stores and professional cosmetic departments. Their staff will help you choose the most suitable option for specific needs and sharpen tweezers if you need to.

Initially, it is necessary to wash your hands with soap and water, after which the skin area around the eyebrows is exposed to the disinfection process. By the time the procedure starts, the entire instrument must also be clean.
Movements of one hand should be carefully and gently pushing the skin in different directions, and the other to remove excess hair using tweezers. If you follow this rule, the pain will not actually be felt.
Each hair is removed only separately, because otherwise there is a risk of disrupting the intended shape of the eyebrows.
After removing all excess hair, the surface of the skin near the eyebrows is treated with a special soothing gel. You can attach a small piece of ice or make a cold compress, which will allow to calm the irritated skin process a little.
If there are ingrown hairs in the eyebrow area, then the procedure can be started only after preliminary steaming of the skin and using scrub. For removal in this case, tweezers-scissors or tools with pointed surfaces are best.
Exfoliation of the dead upper layers of the skin and correction only in the direction of hair growth will allow you to get rid of this problem in the future.

So, choose eyebrow tweezers.

The shortage of such products has long been a thing of the past, and long live the competition!

We can find a large number of goods on the shelves of the cosmetic departments of stores, namely:

Eyebrow tongs with sharpened edges.

Sharpening can be both factory and individual. It is better to choose double-sided tweezers for eyebrows with individual sharpening. When acquiring a tool, take it in your hands, run the canvas in the palm of your hand - does it cling, scratch the skin? Check the level of groundiness. Make sure that the tool does not have chipping, is quite sharp and easy to use. The last criterion is also important.

Or such an interesting design.

With the help of convenient and reliable tools to create the desired image is not difficult. For smoothing long hairs after correction, you can use eyebrow wax and a thick brush.

Currently on the market are a huge number of tweezers. Among them are both very cheap options costing a little more than fifteen rubles, and elite products, the price of which exceeds three thousand (for example, tweezers from the company Anastasia Beverly Hills). It is not surprising that many women are interested in the question: what causes such a difference in price, and how to choose the tweezers for eyebrows correctly.

What are the tweezers?

Eyebrow tweezers are a tool that, on the one hand, has the appearance of two welded plates or scissors, on the other hand, pointed tips (working edge) that can remove hair from the root. It should be borne in mind that the option "scissors" is considered less practical because it is inconvenient to use, if you need to pull out a large number of hairs. But the “scissors” model will cope with a small amount of separately growing hairs without problems.

Also recently appeared automatic tweezers for eyebrows. The tweezers in it are located inside the structure, where they retract after they seize a hair, which makes the procedure faster. This tool for plucking eyebrows is not particularly popular because it requires some practice.

Make eyebrow tweezers from plastic or metal of different quality. Tweezers, made of high-quality stainless steel, are considered to be the best tools for tweaking: it does not contain harmful substances, is strong, durable. Compared with him, even high-quality plastic models serve much less.

Another parameter by which eyebrow tweezers differ from each other is the shape of the working edge. There are the following types of forceps, with which you can make eyebrows:

straight line - tweezers with this edge should be properly used to get rid of coarse, hard-moving hair.
pointed - well suited for the correction of thick eyebrows, they can capture the small hairs that have just started to grow.
in the form of a needle - it copes well with ingrown hairs, in addition, it is convenient for them to make a detailed correction, removing hairs that other types of tweezers capture with difficulty.
oblique - well suited for the removal of coarse and thick hair, as well as if you plan to remove a large number of hairs.

The expensive model differs from cheaper analogs in the ability to remove hairs with the help of a working edge: inexpensive tweezers have poor sharpening, and therefore are often unable to grab the hair, or instead of removing them from the root, cut off the skin. If you can not afford a professional tweezers, you can limit the product of the middle price category with sharp sharpening.

Some types of forceps provide illumination inside. Such a model is convenient for detailed correction, but in order to give the eyebrows a symmetrical shape, daylight is necessary. But the presence of a magnifying glass in the tweezers is approved by a woman, because it allows you to notice hairs that are invisible to the common eye and remove them.

What you need to know when buying

When choosing tweezers for eyebrows, much depends on the price: not every woman can afford to buy tweezers from Anastasia Beverly Hills. Therefore, it is very important to know what to look for when buying tongs.

Specialists recommend buying a tool for plucking eyebrows not on the street, but in a specialized store, a rich assortment of which and the help of a professional consultant will allow you to choose the best option. When choosing tongs, you need to carefully inspect its surface, for which you should pick up and firmly squeeze the working plates.

The canvas should be smooth, the edges should not stick out, and the tweezers should close tightly (only in this way can it tightly grip and remove a hair). Also, it will make sure that the tool for plucking eyebrows comfortably lies in the hand, does not bend during pressing, compresses as needed.

You also need to look at how well the plates converge, if they do not close, you do not need to buy tweezers. Many women say that it is right when choosing tweezers to give preference to a tool with a bevelled working edge (this is characterized by forceps from Anastasia Beverly Hills), which is suitable for many situations and is a universal tool.

It will be correct when buying to check the sharpness of sharpening. If it turns out to be poorly performed, the hair will be pulled out not from the root, but cut off from the skin. Therefore, when buying a need to inspect the inside of the forceps. A properly sharpened tool from the inside of the working edge is not smooth, but slightly brushed. Also, it should not have any chipping, which may remain after manual sharpening.

It is desirable that the tool for plucking eyebrows had an external sharpening: the edges of the forceps should be carefully rounded and polished (this is necessary so that they do not damage the skin of the eyelids).

To make sure that the tweezers for the skin are safe, you need to put the plates together and hold them on the inside of the palm: this will determine whether the instrument has scratched the skin. If the answer is yes, it is better to abandon the acquisition of forceps, otherwise scratches are possible (despite the positive reviews about the Avon, this happened with tweezers from this company).

All good tweezers have protective caps so as not to damage the working edge in the event of a fall, and not to injure with a sharp end (for example, when it is in the purse). This applies to both the Anastasia Beverly Hills and the cheaper Avon. When buying very cheap tweezers, it is likely that the cap is missing.

Advantages of an expensive model

Another point to consider when choosing tweezers is that if a woman is used to using expensive tweezers, the price of which is 3 thousand rubles, a cheaper model worth 120 rubles will not like it.

Having become accustomed to an instrument that is easy to use and easily removes any hair, it will be inconvenient to use cheaper tweezers and you will have to get used to working with it for some time (you can even traumatize your skin). At the same time, women unfamiliar with Anastasia Beverly Hills quality tweezers are satisfied with Avon's instrument and hairs are easily removed.

Such an attitude to the tweezers of the middle price category from women, which are used to Anastasia Beverly Hills, is due to the fact that this tool is capable of capturing hairs of any hardness and size, including thin fluffy ones, as well as black rods that barely showed above the skin without leaving roots. .

The Anastasia Beverly Hills tweezers are made of high-grade stainless steel, the hair gripping plates are very thin, sharply sharpened, fit snugly together, which allows them to successfully remove not only hairs that appear above the skin, but also ingrown into the skin.

Operating rules

Properly selected eyebrow tweezers can last more than a decade.To avoid damage, it is enough to follow a few simple rules: do not throw on the floor, store in a special compartment, after each use wipe with a disinfectant.

Every six months, the plucking tool should be sharpened (this applies to both Anastasia Beverly Hills and Avon). It is better to entrust the sharpening master, who will do this work professionally. While performing the work, the specialist will check how well the plates converge, and if something has broken the work, will eliminate the defect.

Then do the grinding on the abrasive wheel, making sure that it is uniform. After that, make sure how well the working edges are compressed with each other, and, if necessary, fit them to each other. At the final stage, the wizard carefully removes all the fins that appeared during sharpening, and checks how well the tweezers capture the hair.

If it is not possible to give the forceps to the master, you can make the grinding yourself with emery paper. To do this, it must gently rub the inner edges of the tool. When the forceps re-grasp the hairs well, the eyebrow tweezers will be ready for use.

Hello to all!

Dear kosmetistochki, I would like to know your opinion about eyebrow tweezers. I know that there are several varieties - beveled, straight, pointed - and that each girl selects the most suitable and convenient for her by trial and error.

My previous tweezers "retired" (and I used it for a very long time) now I'm in search of a new one. I tried 5 pieces in different price categories and different shapes - all is not that: either it seizes the hair badly, it cuts it, it scratches the skin, it doesn’t delete anything

By what criteria do you choose them and what are you using (can be the names of manufacturers)? I saw tweezers on the MAS site, but the price is painfully biting, but if it’s worth it, you don’t feel sorry for the money, can anyone use it?
