How to do Eyebrow Threading

With its origination beginning in india this hair removal technique is widely practiced in the middle east, how it works is with a double stranded thread that is used to pick up a line of hair in the brow and then remove it, eyebrow threading involves twisting a piece of cotton thread along the brow area for a crisp shaped eyebrow.

Whereas waxing and plucking can cause irritation to the skin, threading does not harm the skin area and removes hair all at once for a clean line of raised arched eyebrows that lead to shape and definition.

How eyebrow threading works you will need to get some thread and tie it into a knot at the end so that you have a loop, then with your right hand you will turn the thread clockwise until it looks like a bowtie, with the center of the thread twisted, now you will want to put the top opening of the loop against the opposite direction of the way your hair grows so that you can pull the hair out from the roots, next you will glide the thread upward and then backward untill you cover the whole extention of the brow, as you go along you will notice a clean smooth shaped and defined brow.

Wow ! Never heard of stencils before.

Both of us have our eyebrows shaped by a beauty therapist about every 6 months, and then use tweezers to keep them in shape in between times.
