Threading is typically used to shape eyebrows, though it does have other uses too. The perfect shaping of an eyebrow can help speak volumes about the individual and can certainly help draw attention to the eyes like nothing else. This desire to have perfect eyebrows has been the catalyst for many inventions to help define the perfect shape.The ancient method of threading has been used and trusted by Asian women for ages to enhance their beauty. It is only fairly recently that the western world has caught up and has started to see the benefits of this method.
As the name suggests, this method uses a cotton thread for removing the hair. The practitioner twists 2 cotton threads together and then drags this over the hairs to be removed. The hairs that become entangled in the twisted thread are the ones that get extracted.
Once the technique is perfected, it is very easy to sculpt the eyebrow shape by dragging the thread in the arc that is required. Taking a small amount of hair each time, the shape slowly becomes apparent. The practitioner can slowly develop the shape and seek approval from the client as they progress. Once the ideal shape has been acquired the second eyebrow can be shaped to match. The results obtained through threading are extraordinary. Women in Asian and Arabic cultures wouldn't have persisted with such a method had it not been effective.How To Thread Eyebrows
Step 1: Shape up
Determine your eyebrow form. What pattern does your natural brow most closely mimic? Round, angled, soft angled, or straight. If it's impossible for you to tell, trust your threader to make the call.
But here's a tip: Forcing a different shape onto your face doesn't work. Your brows will be more noticeable because they will just look out of place.Step 2: Try to relax
Whenever you pull hair out of your skin, it's going to hurt a little. Since the threading instrument is laid down onto the skin in a straight line, it will pull several hairs out at a time. This naturally creates a clean shape for your eyebrow.Step 3: Creating the arch
Your threader defines the line underneath your eyebrow first. This is the basis of the arch, if you're getting one, and the most important step in shaping your eyebrow.Step 4: Cleaning on top
The hair above your eyebrow will be also be threaded for further definition-especially if your hairline runs into the top of your eyebrow. If you just some have baby fuzz, then leaving the hair intact is a better idea.Step 5: Between Brows
Removing hair between your eyebrows is the last step. The general rule is to not to remove hair past the corners of your eyes.
If your eyebrows are too far apart, they can make your eyes look sad, appear smaller and make your nose appear wider.Source
