I go to a facial spa to shape my eyebrows. They use the threading technique which removes the hairs from the roots. New growth of hairs only begin appearing after about 2 weeks. If you like to learn more about eyebrow threading you can visit http://skin-care-tips.org...

Wow I have never heard about threading your eye brows. Thanks for the link and educatting me!! I love it. Usually I go and get them waxed and then try to keep up with plucking them at home. But normally that stops after about a week. Ha ha

You're most welcome.
Even I had no idea about eyebrow threading until I came back to Sri Lanka. You must never use wax on eyebrows or to remove unwanted hair on any part of the face because it stretches and pulls the skin.

I never tried threading though I would like to try. I know it's something painful but maybe it's better than plucking then. I only pluck mine ever since. I saw women who go to parlors just to get eyebrow threading. I guess most parlors/salons here are using the threading method.


myLot reputation of 97/100. serendib (886)   ranked 36 out of 177 in make up  6 months ago

It is painful but once you get used to it, it's not that bad. Yes it is better than plucking because it takes a couple of weeks before hair grows back again. I thread my eyebrows once a month. It's difficult to do threading on your own. You have to go to the salon to get it done. Thanks for your reply.

I much, much prefer getting my eyebrows threaded versus waxing or plucking. I personally think it gives it a much cleaner look and lasts longer than the other two options. It's quite fast and not really that painful - I suppose it depends on your pain tolerance. But waxing, to me, seems more risky because there is the potential that the wax will get on parts of your eyebrows that you don't want ripped off. I also found that waxing made me break out, perhaps from the wax or the after-oil that they use to soothe your skin. I usually get my eyebrows threaded every month or every other month, and in between sessions, I'll maintain the shape by tweezing a few strays here and there. I'm amazed this procedure hasn't caught on as much as waxing in beauty salons.

Your reasons are why I too prefer to have my eyebows
threaded. In my country this procedure is done in every beauty salon. I think it's not that popular though in some Western countries. Thank you for your response. happy

Hi serendib - Oh wow! Thank you for the best response. My first one.:)

Oh I like that too. But as of now I only pluck my eyebrows.


myLot reputation of 97/100. serendib (886)   ranked 36 out of 177 in make up  5 months ago

Plucking is fine except that the hair grows back quickly. I'm terrible when it comes to plucking my own eyebrows. I think you have to have alot of patience to do it. Thank you for your response. happy

The first time I actually tried threading my eyebrows was when I was vacationing in the Philippines. The procedure was so new to me and I was scared at first. It's a little painful but it's not too bad compared to plucking or waxing. I noticed that the re-growth of hair took awhile, like 2 weeks and I really like this method. Unfortunately, I didn't see this done here in my local salons, so I am back to waxing if I want my eyebrows done. Hope threading will be common here someday.


myLot reputation of 97/100. serendib (886)   ranked 36 out of 177 in make up  5 months ago

Threading is the best because like you mentioned the it takes awhile for the hair to grow back. Threading should be another alternative to plucking and waxing done in beauty salons in Western countries. Thank you for your response.

I do pluck my own eyebrows. I never tried threading it. well, I can't do it on my own. and I heard that you must go to salon for that. and It was too expensive.


myLot reputation of 97/100. serendib (886)   ranked 36 out of 177 in make up  4 months ago

Threading is really cheap here. I pay Rs 75 which is about $0.60 (in US currency). And you're right, it is really difficult to do it on your own. But threading is the best. Thank you for your response. happy


myLot reputation of 97/100. zer0charly (1334)   ranked 84 out of 177 in make up  4 months ago

LOL. that is so cheap in your country. here in the our country it will cost about Php 150 or more.. $3 converted into US dollar.


myLot reputation of 89/100. fafinette79 (524)  4 months ago

I'm too afraid to do my own eyebrows, so I go to a salon to get them done. They wax then pluck the stray hairs. In the town I'm in it costs about $7. I do my own nails though.

That sounds good.New gorwth of hair begin appearing a few days by plucking. But I have never heard about it before~


myLot reputation of 97/100. serendib (886)   ranked 36 out of 177 in make up  4 months ago

You should try threading. It hurts a bit but it's gentler on the skin than waxing and the hairs don't grow as fast as it would when plucking the eyebrows. happy

I have heard of threading and seen it done at malls. I have myown wax machine and do it at home. I wouldnt mind learing how to do the threading, it seems less messy. The waxing can get a bit sticky.


myLot reputation of 97/100. serendib (886)   ranked 36 out of 177 in make up  3 months ago

You're right about threading being less messy than waxing. But it takes a bit of practice to learn how to do it properly. Thank you for your response. happy

I pluck - ouch! But in two weeks I have an appointment for my first wax!


myLot reputation of 97/100. serendib (886)   ranked 36 out of 177 in make up  3 months ago

You should try threading instead of waxing/plucking. Threading is gentler on the skin than waxing. Hair takes some time to grow back too unlike after plucking the eyebrows. happy
