Eyebrow threading is a form of epilation. The process removes the entire hair, including the root, rather than cutting it. It starts with cleaning the skin under and around the eyebrows with a gentle cleanser or quick wipe with alcohol to make sure the area is sterile, and it is easy to see the hairs.
A technician will hold a piece of thread between their hands, occasionally with one end in their teeth, and twist it. They’ll then hold the end of the twist over the section of hair you want removed and move the thread in a swift motion. The twisting motion traps hairs between the threads and lifts them out whole.
Believe it or not, your eyebrows are a massive part of your look. They can help shape and define your face and can be coaxed and molded in a hundred different ways. One of the most recently popular is eyebrow threading.
Eyebrow threading uses a thin piece of thread to remove eyebrow hair. It’s a simple process that requires practice to perfect but has quick, controlled results. Before you get your eyebrows threaded, there are a few things to take into consideration. However, the process isn’t any worse than waxing or plucking.
As mentioned, eyebrow threading is the process of removing eyebrow hair using a piece of thread. The thread is typically made of cotton and is relatively thin to allow a stronger hold on each strand.
Eyebrow threading was practiced in multiple different cultures for several thousand years. While no one knows where it originated, the popular theory is that it started in either India or Iran, where a woman would carefully thread her eyebrows for cosmetic and cultural reasons. It was also popular in China, where thin brows were a mark of sophistication.
Today, threading has been adopted by cultures worldwide and is one of the most popular methods of unwanted hair removal.
