What is eyebrow microblading? We share 411 semi-permanent brow reviews

Hearing the word "blade" when it comes to a beauty routine can raise some eyebrows. ("Scissors" or even "razor" is more appropriate.) Doesn't that hurt? And along with the pain, won't it do more harm than good? You would believe us if we told you that although it sounds intimidating, there are actually quite a lot of benefits to "blades" and beauty. In particular, we are talking about "microblading".

Microblading is exactly what it sounds like. Not related to dermaplaning — a procedure in which a scalpel is run across the skin to remove hair and exfoliate — microblading is essentially the exact opposite of dermaplaning. While dermaplaning involves getting rid of unwanted peach fuzz from your face, eyebrow microblading involves injecting ink into your skin to bring out any sparseness or fineness in your hair. However, this is something that a professional (not at home) should 100 percent do. Also, the procedure is semi-permanent, and depending on your skin type, you may want to do some research (or consult with a specialist) before making an appointment.
