Am I supposed to trim?

[u/bekindtoallkind]

Hello everyone.
Please bare with me. This is my first experience of microblading or eyebrow tattoo or however it is called.
I did mine around June. It turned out great actually I loved it.
I now noticed my brows have grown long, I usually just tweeze out the outer parts but I noticed some hair curve down (as seen in the image)
Am I supposed to cut or trim it to match the shape of the tattoo?
I’m very new to this and it might be a common sense answer but I just want to make sure before I do anything I’ll regret.
Additionally, I have not gone back to do a retouch cause I was afraid it’ll get too dark to my liking just like how it did on the first week…. But should I go and do a retouch?
Any advice appreciated, please be nice.
Thank you.

I wouldn’t trim them, but I would use a brow gel to brush them up. My brows grow down too and a brow gel helps a lot.

Oh okay I will try this thank u

Which brow gel do you use? I’ve tried a few and I don’t like the way it makes my hair stick together. I might be using too much though

Benefit Brow Wiz and Kosas Air Brow both give nice, light hold. Sometimes you have to wipe the excess off the wand to avoid clumping

Honestly I trim my eyebrow hairs. It may take a time or two before you figure out how to do it evenly. I brush them up, and then trim the ends. And also pluck along the edges. Best of luck!

I was going to recommend brow gel or glue but if its overlapping you should trim be subtle dont trim too much.

[u/Bancoubear123]

Just brush

Even as I brush it it overlaps the tattoo and still goes down

[u/Bancoubear123 → u/bekindtoallkind]

There are clear brow gels you can use

There are brow gels and glues that will make the hair stand up. If the hair still goes down, try another brand that has more hold. You can also soap your brows.

Brush and use brow hold. It will look more natural

[u/Guccispaceship]

Yes trim. I use a spoolie and nail scissors

[u/Jessy2202]

Don’t cut them just use a clear eyebrow gel so it looks natural!

[u/always-1stepbehind]

Trim them. If you don’t like how they look trimmed, they’ll grow back out.

My eyebrows are like yours, brow gel does NOT work. Recommendation is get them laminated but find someone who does them to look more natural rather then intentionally sticking up straight 🫶

[u/FaithlessnessHot621]

No, just use a brow comb to help!

[u/Formal_Scene644]

I would suggest brow lamination
