Eyebrow Threading
February 5, 2010
Until recently, plucking eyebrows and waxing upper lip hairs were probably the two common things of facial beautification that women did not look forward to.
I have met quite a number of women who hated plucking, especially those who were new to the business.If it’s not necessary, even I would not subject myself to such painful endeavor. However, as it is considered barbaric not to pluck or remove unsightly upper lip hairs, we inflict pain on ourselves in the name of beauty and fashion. Who would want to wear thick eyebrows? Or have a hairy upper lip? Certainly not me.
Finally, our prayers were answered. A unwanted hair removal procedure called Threading is now being patronized.
What is Threading?
Threading started as a kind of hair removal practice that originated in Persia and Middle East, and is now being enjoyed in Western countries. In fact, threading shops are now being frequented by many women who like getting rid of unwanted hair through this process. And who wouldn’t? Not only it is quick, but you emerge prettier and relaxed after the procedure.
How is it Done and Where?
This procedure works a lot like hair waxing and can only be done by Aesthetician, where a thin cotton thread is twisted around unwanted hairs in areas like eyebrows, upper lip or moustache. Hairs will be stripped in batches directly from the roots, resulting in well-manicured eyebrows.
Women nowadays enjoy the benefits of this procedure from the many threading shops. However, threading also has setbacks. Like plucking, skin can also suffer from irritation and the hideous ingrown hairs.
Threading still continues to gain greater popularity because it can be done very quickly. For average eyebrows, the procedure will only take about 5 to 10 minutes. If done properly, threading is a great option for those who have sensitive skin, since it uses no chemical compound.
How much does a Threading will Cost?
You can find many threading salons in metropolitan areas and the procedure will cost you about $5. It is very affordable and effective. As hairs would re-grow quickly, maintain your brow line with the help of tweezers.
