There seems to be an eyebrow trend in every decade, like the bushy brows of the ‘80s and razor-thin brows of the ‘90s, and now in 2022, we’re putting soap on our brows. There are viral videos explaining how to achieve the soap brow, but here are a few things to know before you give it a try.

Unlike brow gel, soap contains glycerin, so it will hold onto brow hairs, thus giving it a shiny slicked-back look, and Dr. Dhaval G. Bhanusali says soap is a “great humectant and can keep eyebrow hair hydrated and healthy.” However, body soap can cause irritation, so opt instead for a soap meant for eyebrows, like West Barn Company’s tinted brow soap.
