Informational: Threading

While I am not the one to brag on my looks or features (except my toes...my toes will make any man have a foot fetish...seriously), this week my eyebrows look really good. Now, that is just an opinion, but we all know women are their own worst critic so if I think they look great, then dang it bobby, it must be true. So I've decided to tell you about a not so new to some, but different approach in arching eyebrows. My friends told me about this a few years ago and I haven't waxed or plucked my eyebrows since! It's called "Threading" and usually done by women of Indian descent (Not Native Americans, but from India). We are all mostly used to plucking the hairs or waxing. These forms of grooming the eyebrows are ok when done temporarily or in case of an emergency, but the long term affects can damage your skin and cause early stages of wrinkles around the eyes (Oh no!). Waxing will unnecessarily stretch and remove the skin’s delicate top layers. Also, threading is more accurate than waxing . The threader can pull each hair one by one which is is very precise and allows to have a greater control than waxing, resulting in a better brow shape for you. It's all natural too! When I say thread, don't ask me how they do it (I've watched them thread about 3 times and I still don't know what they're doing) but they are really using thread. No, not special thread only found in India, but thread from Wal-Mart and Michael's! Plucking isn't too bad except for it is not as accurate. It's probably best for just cleaning up the eyebrow. Depending on your region the prices vary. From the east to the west coast and back down south again, the prices range anywhere from $4 to $12. If you're getting it done for the first time, it is a little painful and no you don't get used to it. Some days it's painless and others I have a tear drop or two. But it's still not any worse than waxing. I guess it depends on the day, thread, or the threader. Also if it's your first time, make sure your eyebrow are about a month past grooming. You'll see the results a lot better! I hope this informed you and if not, don't you dare judge me because my eyebrows are "what that is"! LOL!
