Eyebrows Threading

Eyebrow threading is a technique originated from India, although it is also widely practiced in the South Asia and Middle East. Beauty Salons in United States, Europe and Canada have not been offering these services until recently. Now, women and men in western countries became interested and the popularity of eyebrow threading skyrocketed. This 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, mainly cotton into a double strand. This double stranded cotton 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 celebrities, who are often distinguished by their crisp brow lines.

Eyebrow threading can be used to raise the arch of the eyebrow, eliminate a unibrow, 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. If you have rapid hair growth, every 2 week treatments will usually keep your appearance at its best. You make the decision. Once you have perfectly coiffed eyebrows, you'll know for sure when it's time to return for another treatment. 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 other creams can. During the initial visits, the skin may get red for more than a few minutes after the eyebrow threading session but generally becomes normal in a very short time. Some aestheticians also find it easier to shape eyebrows using this technique than other methods available.

It is important to find a specialist 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 Indian clients with perfect eyebrows.

To summarize the benefits of threading:

One of the most important benefits of eyebrow threading is that it is less painful as compared to other methods of eyebrow shaping.
Eyebrow threading keeps skin irritation to minimum level unlike waxing which results in unwanted stretching of skin and removal of delicate skin layer.
As compared to waxing eyebrow threading results in better shaping of your eyebrow.
Unlike waxing threading is purely natural and there is no use of chemicals or artificial waxes.
Threading gives you one of best results as it effectively removes short and stubby hairs also. There is no length requirement for the facial hair. You make the decision when you want to remove them.
Skin redness caused by threading is minimal and subsides within a short while.
Generally it is observed that waxing causes acne outbreak but in case of threading there are no such outbreaks.
Unlike waxing threading do not involves any stretching of skin hence reducing the risk of wrinkle formation.

Some disadvantages:

It is hard to find a really good practitioner of this hair removal method, depending upon how sensitive your skin is that can also be painful to an extent at the beginning. Read reviews or hear comments from other people to find a good practitioner.
Its other major drawback is that it works only on flat surfaces. Threading is difficult to perform on body areas that are not flat, such as the bikini line and the knees.
In few cases, its side effects can include folliculitis, a bacterial infection of the hair follicles, reddening of the skin and skin pigment changes.
