After years of overplucked eyebrows in the 2000s, fuller brows are back in vogue. There are many ways to achieve this look, using makeup products and semi-permanent treatments such as microblading. Permanent tattoos may be another solution, but that involves risk and recovery time. An easy, hassle-free solution: eyebrow wigs are another viable option without ongoing care or recovery.
Size
Eyebrow wigs are tiny little ones designed to adhere to either your existing eyebrow hairs or your skin using special glue. While initially created for those suffering from Trichotillomania and alopecia, they have also become popular with beauty vloggers and Instagrammers due to the thick-brow craze. Before donning your wigs, trim away any excess hair with blunt tweezers (or your fingertips). Lay the wig face-down on a clean, dry, lint-free surface and view it through a mirror to determine where you would like it placed – make a note with an eyebrow or eyeliner pencil of this spot so it will remind you later where to apply the wigs.

Color
Eyebrow wigs are fake eyebrows you can attach to your face using particular glue, and were initially developed with patients suffering from Trichotillomania, alopecia, or cancer in mind; however, due to Instagrammers and beauty vloggers’ current fascination with thick eyebrows, they’ve now become popular among Instagrammers and beauty vloggers as well. Only some people view them as worth the effort, however. One beauty vlogger who tested out this product on her YouTube channel criticized it for being too costly and difficult to use – she even warned it might pull out some natural brow hairs! To decrease this likelihood, use a cotton swab soaked in skincare oil or makeup remover before peeling them off, as this will allow smoother removal without the risk of skin damage.
Shape
Eyebrow wigs are designed to emulate the shape and size of natural eyebrow hairs, using either synthetic or real hair for weaving, in various shapes and sizes to suit most face shapes. Of course, these can be more expensive than makeup or eyebrow pencils but can often be easier to use and last several months, depending on the brand you purchase and their care. They’re available both online and at some beauty stores. Before applying eyebrow wigs, cleanse the area to eliminate dirt or oil buildup. Next, study your brows in the mirror to decide where you want them to sit; a sharp pencil or eyeliner marking the desired spots is helpful here, as are blunt-tip tweezers; blunt-tip tweezers will come in handy too for removal purposes, as will an eyebrow adhesive, wall mirror, tissues/cotton pads for padding purposes as well as unscented isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol for application purposes.
Material
Eyebrow wigs are stick-on eyebrow extensions of human hair designed to fill out sparse brow areas. While initially intended as a treatment for those suffering from Trichotillomania and alopecia, they have become popular with beauty vloggers and Instagrammers due to the thick-brow trend. Wigs are available in various colors and shapes to meet your desired look, making it easier for you to find one that meets your tastes. Furthermore, these wigs are easy to maintain, lasting for three months when taken proper care of. Microblading may be ideal if you prefer more permanent solutions, as a professional can create natural-looking eyebrows that last up to five years.
Application
Eyebrow wigs are handcrafted with human hair on thin mesh material, handcrafted from real hair. Available in natural shapes, these reusable pieces of makeup provide instant facelift or reconstruction effects when worn as needed for instant facelift or reconstruction purposes. Eyebrow wigs offer temporary solutions to sparse or thinning eyebrows and those suffering chemotherapy treatments, Trichotillomania, or alopecia (conditions which cause hair loss), among many other conditions that cause hair loss. When applying your wigs, place them hairless side up on a clean lint-free surface like a makeup palette or piece of cardboard. Apply a thin line of the glue provided with each wig by squeezing it onto its back and then spreading it using either your fingertips, tweezers, or toothpick. Allow this step to dry for 30 seconds, and repeat this step for all wigs you plan on applying.
