How to Notch Your Eyebrow

Eyebrow slits, also known as eyebrow cuts or notches, are a trend that became popular in the 90s, made fashionable by hip-hop artists. Before this, we can even find evidence that "notching" was used throughout history and across cultures.

How to Notch Your Eyebrow

Step 1: Clean & Brush

Make sure you're working with a clean, well-manicured brow. Wipe your face with a cloth, then brush out your brow hairs with a comb or brush.

Step 2: Mark the Line

Draw vertical lines on your brow with white or light-colored eyeliner to mark where the slit will go. This helps ensure symmetry and correct placement.

Step 3: Shave the Slit

Using an eyebrow razor or precision trimmer, carefully shave the marked area. Go slow and steady for a clean, defined line.

Step 4: Clean Up

Remove any stray hairs and clean the area. Your eyebrow notch will grow back in 2-4 weeks, so it's easy to experiment without permanent commitment.
