Threading

Eyebrow Threading Tips

Here are some simple tips to tame your brows:

Spray a little hair spray on your brows and brush them using your toothbrush to keep them in place. Eyebrows slanting upwards make you look angry, so be careful not to take off too much at the outer corners. If your brows are sparse, use a freshly sharpened brow pencil to fill in the areas with light, quick strokes. It is important to use the correct shade for your brows. Fair women can use blonde shades while olive colored women should choose tawny or brown. In case, you have over tweezed certain brow area, try to fill the patch using brow shadow, applying in the direction of the hair growth. Eye shadow gives more natural look to your brows than an eyebrow pencil.

How to Pluck Eyebrows with Tweezers: The Do's and Don'ts

Many women pluck their eyebrows with tweezers. Some wax them, but wax is tricky because it’s hard to get an accurate shape. And some go to a hair removal salon to try "threading." Although threading is newly popular in the United States, it is a centuries-old technique of hair removal practiced in India. The eyebrow experts say never, never to pluck your eyebrows from above, but always to pluck from the bottom of the brow. I say, if you have some wild or stray or bushy hairs growing above your brows, feel free to pluck them. I did it once, and nothing bad happened to me. I read somewhere that it’s okay to trim your eyebrows. I think this is good if the single hairs are long and thick. You can pluck some hairs and trim the others, brushing them up, evening the ends (be careful not to trim too much!), then brushing them down checking again and again as you go along

 

 

 

Benefits of Threading

• the ouch(less) factor - threading is found by many to be much less painful than waxing. since threading only targets the individual hairs, skin irritation is kept to a minimum, unlike waxing, which often causes unnecessary stretching & removal of the face's delicate top layers of skin.
• an art of perfection - threading is very precise & allows our specialists to have greater control over which hairs are removed than waxing, resulting in a better brow shape for you!
• au natural - threading is 100% natural, there are no artificial waxes, chemicals, or invasive techniques used.
• we take it all off - even those short stubbly hairs can be removed, giving you the option of avoiding that bothersome grow-out period.
• the taming of the flame - minimal redness occurs after threading. any redness that does appear, usually subsides within an hour, so your beauty secrets stay secret!
• anti-acne - most people who breakout from waxing tend to have much better results with threading. also, threading is dermatologist-recommended for individuals who are currently using skin-thinning medications like accutane and retin-a.
• wrinkle prevention - warning: waxing can tug, pull, stretch, & even remove the delicate skin on your face, eventually facilitating the development of wrinkles! but there is good news, threading does none of this! so instead of torturing your face with wax, opt for threading which will result in hairless happiness!
• One of the greatest benefits of threading is that is less messier and faster as compared to waxing and tweezing for hair removal, especially hair on the upper lip and eyebrows and also a lot more effective and less painful.
• Threading is a relatively cheaper method of hair removal as compared to any other method and if a person goes in for it regularly, threading helps slow down hair re-growth and makes it finer and sparser after regular treatments.

• As in the case of waxing and shaving for hair removal, in threading the top layers of skin are not peeled or traumatized in the process; it is especially recommended as an option for those who use Retin-A, Accutane and similar products.
• If the eyebrows are required to be shaped, threading is an excellent choice for achieving that perfect, classic eyebrow shape that everyone wants since it allows the beautician closer access to each hair growth since it is done individually.

Eyebrow Threading

Threading is an ancient method of hair removal with origins in Arabia and South Asia. It is very delicate procedure, making it suitable for even the most sensitive skin. The art of threading may be seen in the gentle and precise twisting of a length of cotton thread which is twisted along the hairs which are to be removed. The twisting action of the thread traps the hair and lifts it out of the follicle.

Threading is more effective and less painful than tweezing; hair re-growth becomes finer and more sparse after regular treatments; and the top layers of skin are not peeled or traumatized in the process. Threading is highly recommended and an excellent option for those who use Retin-A, Accutane, and similar products.
