Before you get your eyebrows threaded — read this.
First things first, here's how eyebrow threading actually works: A piece of thread is taken and twisted on itself as it's glided along the brow to shape it. The hair is removed from the follicle, but it doesn't damage the skin. Before the actual threading happens, you'll be given a consultation to decide on shape. The whole process takes around 15 minutes to complete. Since threading only removes the actual brow hair and no skin, it hurts a whole lot less than waxing.
Threading is also a great option if you have sensitive skin that's prone to irritation. Sheikh says that it's a natural, organic technique that doesn't use harsh chemicals on your face. "People on particular medications or with certain skin conditions may turn to threading to remove their hair because it's gentler on the skin than some other types of hair removal," she explains.
"Your skin may look red, but this redness is from stimulation of the skin, not through excess skin removal that can happen from waxing," explains Sheikh. Much like waxing, threading generally lasts two to four weeks, but this depends on your hair type. However, you may eventually be able to go longer between appointments.
If you can't afford microblading and waxing is just simply too painful, eyebrow threading might just be the brow grooming method for you.
