We spoke with European Wax Center's co-founder and brow expert Jessica Coba, who gave us her tips and tricks on how to get groomed, gorgeous brows. So before you pick up your tweezers, keep reading!
Teen Vogue: What is the best way to work the full brow?
Jessica Coba: The best way to work the full brow is to keep it groomed and maintain a shape. Don't let your brows grow together or to your hairline! To keep your eyebrows defined, use a product such as a gel or shaper with a light hold that will last in any condition.
TV: What's one of the biggest brow faux pas teens make?
JC: When a person doesn't take into consideration the size and shape of their eyes, face, and forehead. Too-full brows can overwhelm a smaller face or forehead.
TV: How can one achieve fuller brows if they aren't naturally thick to begin with?
JC: Use a product to enhance hair growth, like European Wax Center's Restore It Enhancing Serum for Brows. It's power-packed with soy and wheat proteins to condition, repair, and restore eyebrow hair.
TV: What's your number one rule for eyebrows?
JC: The most important thing is to love your natural eyebrow shape. Work with a wax specialist or stylist to achieve your ideal shape and look.
**TV: What's the next big trend for eyebrows? **
JC: As with everything style- and fashion-related, eyebrows follow trends. In the past few years we've seen everything from bleached brows to no brows at all. I think full brows are here to stay, especially those with an emphasis on strong, defined shapes.
