Hey everyone, welcome back. Im back with a different kind of post today!
A women started working in the salon I work in 3 weeks ago doing eyebrow threading and tinting. I had never got threading done before, I usually wax them myself as I done a bit in college! But a few of the girls raved about the threading, and my sister swears by it, so I said Id give it a go!
Threading is a method of hair removal originally from India. Its done by using thin thread doubled and twisted, and then rolled over the skin to remove unwanted hairs. It pulls the hair straight from the follicle, and it gives more control over the shape of the brows. It would also be alot more gentle on the skin, as you wouldnt be pulling at it like you would with waxing.
Honestly I was slightly nervous to get it done, but I knew if I didnt Id be raging with myself!! And now I dont know what I was so nervous about. I found it quiet soothing! Its a funny sensation, hard to put into words! But you can feel all the hairs falling onto your face (hairs I never even knew were there!!) Its like a tingling, flicky feeling! I could feel the thread gliding across my skin and catching the hairs! I did feel it a little more when she done below my eyebrow but naturally the skin is alot thinner and more sensitive there. To do there she makes you pull up above your brow and pull down my closed eye, to keep the skin tight and that also helped stop it hurting.
I really found I got a much nicer shape to my brows after it. She got every little hair possible! And although I always liked waxing I think Ive been coverted!!
Honestly Id highly recommend you trying it out, alot of beauty salons offer it now and its alot more relaxing! Also I think its roughly around the same price as waxing, and wont give you sagging or drooping eyebrows in years to come!!
I inserted 2 pictures to show you what my brows look like after, and what threading looks like so you have an idea!
Hope you enjoyed this little post:)
Till next time x
I also prefer threading as a method of hair removal rather than waxing and pulling. That’s the best way for me, especially for my eyebrows. Threading gives the best results in shaping and cleaning our eyebrows, and yours is the perfect example. Thanks for sharing that, Aine! Stay gorgeous!
