threading

[stonekicker]

have just started threading my own eyebrows. am a bit ham-fisted as new to the technique, but does it get easier with practice relatively quickly? my hubby had a good larf at the funny faces i was pulling in the mirror earlier! any tipswould be greatly appreciated x

Is it a bit like cats cradle - the way its knotted?

[stonekicker]

yes - have been using short threads as they are easier to control, but getting frustrated at my south-paw approach when the professional i visit does it in two minutes flat with really long bits of thread! have gone on the net for tips and watched videos but was just wondering how long it would take me to be proficient x

its worth it, practice makes perfect, i have been doing my own for 7 years now, and i have lovely arched brows, and they take longer to grow.

mmmmm, me too !! I'm seeing beads - but maybe not

its shaping them with a piece of thread, just like plucking, but the thread takes out more hair at once and keeps them shaped and tidy for longer.

I don't understand, if I pluck my eyebrows with tweezers, the hair comes out at the root - what else is there to come out with the threading method?

[suzie1]

the thread zaps the hair in quick succession, and weakens the route, i am an expert, i have done this for a long time and done it for others as well. try it

threading also helps to get the small and fine hairs you can't get with tweezers and because you get lots out at once, it is a quicker process. did them again today and it was better! x
