    Trim long hairs or ones that stick out. Tweeze minimally hairs that are between brows or strays.

    You should not cut your eyelashes. Trimming or styling your eyelashes is ok, however.

    Comb them up and trim off any hairs that stick up more than 1/4" above the edge of the brow. Then, comb hair out and trim off hairs that are substantially longer than others.

    Can you do it at home with only scissors ?

    Yes you can but it is difficult and hard because they're so big and get in the way, so it is not recommended.

    I’m not sure if I did this right but now one of my brows is really oddly shaped!

    There is nothing you can do to make the eyebrow bigger if you made it too small, all I can say is wait for them to grow back, get the tiny hairs by your eyelids and get the extra hairs that make your eyebrows to messy. Try not to shape it, try to just trim it so it's not as messy or bushy or strange or big.
