Step 1 of 9

Gather supplies. You may want a handful of Qtips handy.

Step 2 of 9

Put a dollop of Nair on top of Qtip.

Step 3 of 9

Follow your bottom brow line covering all hair with a nice thick layer of Nair.

Step 4 of 9

Voila. Feel free to apply this way...OR

Step 5 of 9

This way to get an even cleaner brow.

Step 6 of 9

Clean up excess with clean Qtip & wait the directed time. I usually leave mine on for 8 minutes.

Step 7 of 9

Wet & drain your washcloth with the hottest water you can stand & wipe brows clean. This is the nice treasure you should end up with.

Step 8 of 9

Voila! Nice clean brows at home! I add Vaseline & brush my brows after removing Nair.

Step 9 of 9

This isn't my best photography job, but I was sleepy😝. My mom taught me this trick when I was in HS. I HATED waxing @ plucking. This was her solution! 12 years later still working for me. Any ❓ask!

Some people are really sensitive to Nair products. I can use it on my face but not my legs because they become really sore. Put some Aloe Vera or something for sun burns on your eye brows.

Actually now the puffiness has gone down they look a bit better :/

I did this earlier today and now have really thin eyebrows that look stupid! :(

Sorry, just thought I should warn, thats all. each person chooses its method after all, my comment wasn't meant to be mean or anything. It is still great that you took time to make thus guide and share tips with us so thanks :)

It's not shaving creme. And here comes this little Mosquito again. Lmao!

Vanessa Powell (author) 6 months ago

Oh my... do you know that using this kind of shaving creams is actually the same thing as literally shaving your eyebrow... hair grows back stronger and thicker... There's nothing better than wax, with time the hair weakens and it hurts a lot less...

Victoria Torelli 6 months ago

Jennifer me too! I'm Italian so hairy is my middle name. Your brows look gorgeous so I think this will make u happy!

Vanessa Powell (author) 6 months ago

I'm going to try this!😊 My eyebrows are a little hairy on top and on the side and I kinda have hair on my forehead😒 what can I say I'm a hairy beast. Lol jk but yeah I'm going to rite aid to get this.

Jennifer Martinez 6 months ago

Love it Alyssa! Think about the money you'll be able to spend elsewhere now. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

Vanessa Powell (author) 6 months ago

It worked great for me. My eyebrows look better than when I get them professionally threaded.

Alyssa Coleman-Stevens 7 months ago

Yay! I'm so happy it worked out for you.

Vanessa Powell (author) 7 months ago

This is a great guide! I went out and got some Sally Hansen face cream that comes with soothing lotion. It worked wonders! I stopped getting waxed a while ago and switched to threading, which is AMAZING, but this is much more convenient and cost effective. Thanks!

Alyson Hames 7 months ago

For sure ill let u know i trust this to be good for me first iv got to find the products lol and your most welcome i like your guides and tips thanks

@Michelle I just noticed your first comment. Here is a round of applause for you!! 👏 Thank you

Vanessa Powell (author) 7 months ago

Oh and one more thing for inquiring minds. My brows grow in thicker and fuller. EVERYONE Is different and that is why you proceed with caution. You wouldn't add peanuts to brownies if your allergic just because the directions says to so PLEASE don't hurt yourself trying to save a dime.

Vanessa Powell (author) 7 months ago

@michelle let me know how it goes! 12 years strong with no nasty side effects. The last time I got my brows waxed half my brow was gone so I'm sticking with my crazy different way.

Vanessa Powell (author) 7 months ago

@Make up gal that's a given. Hence my warning at the beginning of the guide. But if you have a make up gal I doubt you need a quick cheap way to do your brows

Vanessa Powell (author) 7 months ago

Im going to try this thank you for sharing your guide if its worked for you for 12years then thats grate i hope it works for me

Missy Pokipoki 7 months ago

@makeup_Gal one makeup artist has there thoughts and what ever but don't mean there right when another may think diff. Your comment defeated the point in giving a comment when all she was doing was her guide and tips on how she does painless & safe hair removal with products that are made for the removal of facial hair. And she done it GOOD an her way is grate and is perfect for the people that would rather do this them selfs at home not ever1 can afford a makeup artist to do it for them or go to a salon to get it done your just been negative for no reason oh and been a model don't mean you have the answer!

Missy Pokipoki 7 months ago

Its a good idea but my makeup artist does not recommend doing this, as it can cause skin problems over time and can cause your eyebrows to not grow properly. Sorry if that was harsh. I'm a model myself and I'm just giving advice

That's the Nair I have pictured. I was so relieved when they made that one you're right it burns way less!

Vanessa Powell (author) 7 months ago

I found some Nair especially for the face which works wonderfully and doesnt burn as much as the regular stuff.

Virginia Jones 7 months ago

Okay! Thanks so much vanessa!

Ethel Monique 7 months ago

Let me know how it goes. You'll probably rid yourself of waxing & shaving for good. That little bottle of Nair last me normally 3 months or longer an I do my brows twice a week.

Vanessa Powell (author) 7 months ago

Perfect for thick brows and you can find the Nair anywhere Walmart/Target/Walgreens/Rite Aid its almost always by the razors.

Vanessa Powell (author) 7 months ago

And would this work on thick brows?

Ethel Monique 7 months ago

Wow! Thanks a lot for this! I grow out my hair super fast so im always shaving, this is a perfect solution! Could u find these at walmart though?

Ethel Monique 7 months ago

@Kelly I used to but for some reason it made my brows grow in thinner. I'm already thin haired in the brow area so I find doing it this way allows me to keep some volume. I have a friend w flawless brows and she shaves. I'm not so lucky!

Vanessa Powell (author) 7 months ago

It sure can Kali. I have never in 12 years gotten it in my eye so it's very possible to do this carefully.
