Eyebrow
threading is
a depilation
technique which
originated in
India, although
it is also widely
practiced in
the Middle East.
It is used to
give clean lines
and good shape
to the eyebrows
and also remove
hair from the
eyebrow. Although
it may seem
quite simple,
it does take
a certain amount
of skill to
ensure hairs
are not snapped
off.
Threading
is best for
those of us
who have a large
amount of eyebrow
hair and surrounding
facial hair,
as tweezing
simply takes
too long. If
you are lucky
enough to have
just a few stray
hairs and no
noticeable facial
hair then you
probably won't
understand what
the fuss is
about.
Threading
is a hair removal
technique that
uses a cotton
thread. The
100% cotton
thread is twisted
and rolled along
the surface
of the skin
entwining the
hairs in the
thread, which
are then lifted
out from the
follicle. It
is said to be
more precise
than waxing.
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,
Acutance, and
similar products.
You need to
go to a Salon
for eyebrow
threading since
it cannot be
done at home
by you. It need
skilled technician
to mend your
eyebrows and
give them the
curls and curve
you desire.
Eyebrow
threading is
a practice of
shaping the
eyebrows using
a thread. Salons
in Wes ern nations
offered the
service to Middle
Eastern clients
for decades
before European
and American
women became
interested and
the popularity
of eyebrow threading
skyrocketed.
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.
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.
It is important
to find an aesthetician
who is experienced
at eyebrow threading.
Inexperience
can result in
uneven brows,
hair breakage,
ingrown hairs,
or unnecessary
pain.
Most
urban areas
have a wide
variety of spas
offering eyebrow
threading, and
many online
resources offer
reviews of the
service, including
photographs
of clients.
If you are unsure
about a spa
look for one
which is frequented
by Middle Eastern
and Indian clients
with perfect
eyebrows.
If
your eyes are
a beautiful,
mesmerizing
picture, you
certainly don't
want to over
whelm them with
the frame. As
in a good piece
of art, the
frame is a compliment
to the work.
If you like
your eyebrows
full, natural,
and you don't
like to tweeze
them, don't.
Leave them as
they are. If
they are very
bushy and tend
to be unruly
(but you still
don't want to
tweeze them),
take an eyebrow
brush, brush
them well, then
spray the brush
with hair spray
and apply to
your brows.
This will help
make them more
manageable.
But
you should be
aware that as
a woman grows
older, as many
parts of her
body will begin
to move down,
her eyebrows
are also going
to look heavy
and low. As
we age, our
faces begin
to sag a bit,
and sagging
eyebrows really
take away from
sparkling, full
and bright eyes.
So for mature
women who have
always preferred
not to shape
the eyebrows,
reform. Just
try to pluck
them at the
bottom of the
brow to clean
and lift them
up a bit.
For
those of you
who do want
to shape your
brows, there
are ways in
which your eyebrows
cannot only
frame but actually
enhance your
eyes and minimize
their drawbacks.
For example,
if your eyes
seem to slant
down, sort of
"sadly," you
can minimize
the slope by
shaping your
eyebrows into
straighter lines
(the effect
is much like
a puppeteer
who can pick
up a puppet
on one side
and lift it
a little). If
you have evenly
set eyes, start
your brow where
your eye starts
and end it where
your eye ends.
If you have
eyes that are
widely set,
start your eyebrow
closer to your
nose and end
it where your
eye ends. This
will seem to
bring your eyes
closer together.
For eyes that
are set closely
together, start
your eyebrow
a little bit
after your eye,
to make your
eyes look farther
apart.
