A Less Painful Alternative to Eyebrow Waxing

I always trim my eyebrow by myself but i also plan to have it done in the salon but just don't have time.I will give it a try one day soon.

I learned something new today. Never heard of eyebrow threading. I have had my eyebrows waxed and have red, swollen eyes for a day or so afterwards. My skin is so sensitive. I cheat and use a razor once in awhile. My eyebrows have basically quit growing and am sure this is age related. In order to shape them just a little bit, I trim underneath and above so the shape is still in tact. I don't delete them from my face..lol I wear a little bit of pencil but don't overload them either because that looks silly and clownlike on my face, atleast.

You wont believe that i have perfect eyebrows not too think now too thick , but it is of the perfect thickness which suits my face , everybody will ask whether did i do threading , i would say no well its just natural one , im in a safer side because i cant bear the pain of waxing as well as threading , i think waxing will last longer than threading , but both cause pains while doing them , all my friends do threading , for some people it grows once in a month and for many people it grows twice a month , if they start doing it once and stop it , they look like devil lol.. they have that thick hair formed around the eyebrow which makes them look awkward..

Never tried it. The practice actually originated from the Chinese. It's also not usually for the eyebrows but that also includes it, and the whole face - since the beauty of the face was (and is) very important to them. I think I'd stick with the less painful alternatives :D threading WILL make you cry.

i've tried threading before i didnt like it. i found it to be more painful than waxing. i always wax my eyebrows and it lasts a great amount of time and it thins your hair so it barely grows back in time. i prefer to wax

I had never tried my eyebrows thread but as much I prefer is tweezing.. But I can try to go to salon to thread my eyebrow.

I just tried it today and I love it. I use to get my eyebrows waxed but haven't in a while. I am lucky that my eyebrow hair is light. I was walking through the mall and they were just opening up and I thought let's do it. The girls were not with me and it was a cool experience. My eyebrows haven't looked this good in so long. I want to take my 12 year old because she has very dark eyebrows and she says waxing hurts. Two eyebrowns up from Kim in Maryland

I never head of eyebrow waxing. Must be quite different,the experience I mean. We always get threading done on our eyebrows here. Thats what I have seen my mother and other females getting done. I am fortunate in this because my eyebrows are naturally well defined and neat. Lucky me, I know. lol

I had never heard of this but was intrigued enough to look it up. It looks interesting and does seem to do the job very well. For everybody else who doesn't know what is involved, here is a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NK-QzPLgUTo

Never heard of that.I will have to look that up thanks.

Hi Sydney, I belong to India and eyebrow threading is the most common technique used for shaping the eyebrows. I have always got my eyebrows threaded and never got them waxed, rather eyebrow waxing is new for me. As mentioned by another myLotter friend, the redness could be for not applying toner after threading or for some people it happens all the time....I experience some redness everytime but it vanishes within an hour.....

Terrible!! I never wanted to pluck my eyebrows as I strongly belived that it will damage your natural beauty. I didn't do it for my wedding too. Luckily the person who dressed me too did not ask me to do so. But recently I thought I should give it a try and went to the salon. I told the girl who came to pluck my eyebrows not to make it too thin just shape it without making me look like an artificial person. She agreed and when she atarted I creamed and everyone was shocked. It was soooooooo painful and I asked them why women wants to do such things? They all laughed and that was the first and the last visit to salon to pluck my eyebrows!!!!!
