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.
