EYEBROW threading is a rapid growing trend. Many celebrities and those into beauty and skin care now prefer this ancient method of hair removal over anything else. Celebrities like Madonna, Jennifer Aniston and Megan Fox achieve the perfect brow with the perfect arc by threading. Threading is an ancient hair removal technique that uses 100 percent cotton thread to remove unwanted facial hair. Its origins can be traced back to ancient Eastern culture and has recently gained popularity in the West.
Threading gets rids of the finest and smallest hair with ease and doesn’t leave the area extremely swollen or red. Here’s how it works: A cotton thread is pulled along unwanted hair in a twisting motion to trap hair in a mini-lasso and lifts hair right out of the follicle. It may sound painful but it’s not so bad, maybe the first time. I honestly think waxing hurts more. Those who keep up with beauty trends or visit the overseas frequently will be aware that eyebrow threading salons are popping up at a very fast rate. So why has this trend grown so much? Well, here are some of the reasons threading is better than waxing.
Threading allows for the sharpest eyebrow form and definition, more so than with tweezing and waxing alone. When you draw lines from the arch to each end, in accordance with your eye, they are perfectly aligned.
No chemicals used
Store-bought and salon wax contains harsh chemicals that are bad for your health. These ingredients include resins, artificial fragrances, and dangerous dyes. With threading, you don’t have to worry about any of that. The removal method uses only pure cotton threads and nothing more.
Skin friendly for sensitive skin
Those with sensitive skin often struggle with hair removal due to chemical reactions and skin damage. Waxing, depilatory creams, and even tweezing can leave skin red, raw, and inflamed. With threading, there is little contact with the skin so there is no skin damage. It’s an ideal alternative to waxing for those on prescription acne medications as skin is thinner and more prone to sensitivity in those areas.
Saves time and works fast
Another great thing about eyebrow threading is it works much faster than plucking. Instead of pulling each individual hair out one by one, threading grabs one line of hair at once, removing it instantly. Threading eyebrows and other unwanted facial hair is faster than sugaring and even natural waxing methods because there is no waiting time for anything to dry or harden. The hair is just gone.
Longer lasting
Another great thing about threading versus waxing is it lasts much longer. After eyebrow threading, your hair will be gone for 3-4 weeks.
Better Overall Value
With traditional salon waxing, your unwanted facial hair (and some of your skin) gets yanked out and you’re sent on your way; oftentimes with painful skin burns and watering eyes. With eyebrow threading, the process is quick, less painful, and lasts longer. Threading eyebrows also beats waxing for the attractive arch and shape you get the moment you step away from the chair.
There are lots of hair removal methods out there. The best choice for you will depend on how much money you have to spend, the sensitivity of your skin, and your pain tolerance. With threading, you don’t have to worry about any of that. The removal method uses only pure cotton threads and nothing more. Less irritation and less chance of getting wrinkles! No one wants wrinkles, right?
