Keeping Eyebrows Groomed Via Threading

Threading is an ancient form of hair removal from India and the Middle East. The western world has actively adapted to threading themselves. During threading,  the threader loops a cotton thread around the hair to be removed, twists it, then pulls the hair from the follicle. The procedure is commonly used on facial hair. The amount of pain experienced is similar to that of tweezing.

Shaping your eyebrows correctly is important because it can change your facial expression. Though the shape is up to you, it's best to stay as natural as possible. In general, the beginning of the brow should be aligned with the center of the nostril below it and should extend a bit past the outer corner of the eye. The arch should fall over the outer third of the eye. Removing hair too far in from the inner edge of the eyebrow will make your eyes look smaller; removing too much from the bottom will make you look perpetually surprised. If you have doubts, do not remove the hair.

Always discuss the shape and look you are going for with your threader prior threading. Remember, once the hair is removed it will take time for the hair to grow back
