Eyebrow threading is an ancient hair removal technique that is most commonly attributed to Indian origins, but it has also been used for centuries throughout the Middle East and parts of East Asia. It is believed to have originated 6,000 years ago
The threading process involves holding a piece of thread so that it coils around itself, allowing you to either grab hairs one by one or, in some cases, pull out a line of hair. A thin cotton or polyester thread is doubled, then twisted. It is then rolled over areas of unwanted hair, plucking the hair at the follicle level.
Threading is a more precise hair removal technique than waxing or sugaring and slightly less precise than tweezing4. It allows for a finer and more polished brow line than waxing, as each row of hairs are removed one at a time with a precise motion.
Threading is a natural and chemical-free way to shape your brows. It doesn’t involve the use of any chemicals or harsh substances that can potentially irritate sensitive skin.
The results of eyebrow threading can last about four to six weeks. Because the hair is pulled from the root, it grows back finer and gets weakened throughout the process.
Threading can cause ingrown hairs and small red bumps. However, if done correctly, it can result in less irritation and fewer ingrown hairs compared to other methods.
Threading is gentler on the skin than waxing. It uses cotton thread to remove the hairs and that’s the only variable. That can make the procedure less irritating to the skin than waxing for most people. It’s also a good option for sensitive skin.
Estheticians take all necessary precautions to avoid injuries or post-treatment infections during eyebrow threading. They practice proper hygiene and sanitation, clean the client’s face especially the forehead and the eye area before a threading session.
Threading is a relatively quick and efficient process. A trained professional can shape eyebrows in just a few minutes, and the results can last for several weeks.
Threading allows for easier brow shaping. Because each hair is pulled out individually in threading, your brow therapist has much closer access to your hair follicles, making it easier to develop your brow’s natural arches. It can help to open up the eyes by de-fluffing brows, removing excess stragglers, and creating two neat lines of symmetrical brows.
Eyebrow threading is a fantastic, chemical-free alternative to other hair removal methods. It’s safe, precise, and long-lasting, making it a popular choice for many people. So, next time you’re thinking about grooming your brows, why not give threading a try?
