What Is Eyebrow Threading?

Threading is a centuries-old technique for removing hair that began in South Asia and the Middle East. It involves using a thin cotton or polyester thread twisted and rolled over unwanted hairs, plucking them out at the follicle level. Unlike waxing or tweezing, threading removes entire rows of hair for a more defined and symmetrical shape.

Why Choose Eyebrow Threading Over Other Methods?

Each hair removal technique has its advantages, but threading offers a unique blend of precision, hygiene, and gentleness:

Benefits of Eyebrow Threading

• Precision Shaping: Allows the specialist to target individual hairs, offering sharp and well-defined lines.
• Gentle on Skin: No chemicals or heat involved, making it ideal for sensitive or acne-prone skin.
• Faster Process: Entire rows of hair are removed in one swift motion, reducing overall appointment time.
• Longer-Lasting Results: Hair grows back finer and slower compared to shaving or tweezing.
• No Skin Damage: Unlike waxing, threading doesn’t stretch or tear the skin.

Things to Consider

• Mild Discomfort: A slight pinching sensation is normal during the process.
• Temporary Redness: Common post-threading, but usually subsides within 15-30 minutes.
• Not Ideal for Large Areas: Best suited for eyebrows, upper lip, and small facial zones.

Common Eyebrow Shapes & What Suits You

Choosing the right brow shape depends on your face structure, eye shape, and personal style. Below are common eyebrow shapes along with the face types they complement best:

Eyebrow Threading Process: What to Expect

• Consultation

  • The threading session starts with a brief consultation. Your technician will discuss your brow goals, preferences, and analyze your face shape.

• Preparation

  • A soothing antiseptic is used to cleanse the brow area. This removes dirt, oil, and makeup.

• Threading Begins

  • A trained specialist skillfully uses a twisted cotton thread to carefully eliminate unwanted hairs with accuracy and ease. The thread glides across the skin, swiftly removing the hair from the root.

• Tweezing (If Required)

  • Some areas may be refined with tweezers for perfect definition.

• Soothing Gel or Aloe Application

  • Post-threading, a cooling gel or aloe vera is applied to reduce redness and calm the skin.

• Pre-Threading Tips

  • Avoid exfoliating the area 24 hours prior.
  • Don’t apply makeup around the brows before the session.
  • Be sure to let your technician know if you are currently using retinoids or any acne-related treatments.

• Aftercare Tips for Long-Lasting Brows

  Proper aftercare ensures reduced irritation and longer-lasting results:

  • Avoid Touching: Let the area breathe for a few hours.
  • Skip Makeup: Avoid using makeup on the treated area for a minimum of 4 to 6 hours after threading to reduce the risk of irritation.
  • Moisturize: Apply aloe vera or a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer to calm and hydrate the skin.
  • Sun Protection: Wear sunscreen to prevent darkening of the skin post-threading.

Eyebrow Threading for Men

Eyebrow grooming isn’t just for women. More men are opting for threading to achieve clean, well-defined brows without making them look overly shaped. The technique allows for natural results and enhanced facial structure.
