EyeBrow Threading:

Eyebrow threading is a depilation technique which originated in India, although it is also widely practiced in the Middle East. The hair removal technique is not just for the eyebrows: threading can be used to remove other facial and body hair as well.

Eyebrow threading involves twisting a piece of thread, usually cotton, into a double strand. This double stranded thread is used to pick up a line of hair and then remove it, creating a very clean, precise hairline. Eyebrow threading is the technique preferred by Indian movie stars, who are often distinguished by their crisp brow lines.

Eyebrow threading can be used to eliminate a unibrow, raise the arch of the Eyebrow, or add shape and definition to the brow. Because it removes hair by the follicle, it is a reasonably long-lasting hair removal technique as well. Repeat visits after three to four weeks are standard. The technique is also not terribly expensive because it is easy to do quickly and does not require costly chemical ingredients. For women who would like to pursue a more natural beauty regimen, Eyebrow threading is a good choice, since it does not use harmful products.

Eyebrow threading is a preferred hair removal technique for a number of reasons. Unlike tweezing or plucking, Eyebrow threading removes one clean line of hair all at once, making it much quicker and easier to shape the brows. Eyebrow threading also will not harm the skin like wax and some depilatory creams can. If done correctly, the skin should not be red or irritated for more than a few minutes after the Eyebrow threading session. Some aestheticians also find it easier to shape eyebrows using this technique than other methods available.

How it works:

1. Use a cotton ball to apply baby powder to eyebrow area.

2. Take the spool of thread; hold it in your right hand

3. Place the loose end of the thread in your mouth and clench with your teeth.

4. Unravel the thread about two feet.

5. Place the pulled thread over the index finger of your left hand.

6. With your thumb and index finger, twist the thread in a circular motion around your index and thumb about 10 times until it is twisted in the centre.

7. Place twisted area of thread on eyebrows and begin lightly pulling your head backwards to capture hair.

Don’t forget to tidy up hairs by brushing eyebrows upward and trimming them with small scissors. Tweeze ingrown and short hairs that can’t be removed with the thread. Once finished, apply astringent or aloe gel to eyebrows with a cotton ball to clean area
