Introduction:
Eyebrow threading is a thing of beauty. It is a true art form. You’ve probably long heard about the benefits of threading: how it achieves the perfect eyebrows, how threading cleans up all stray hairs and how wonderful people look leaving the salon. It’s everything you’ve heard of, but there’s a first time for everyone. Here, we address all your concerns as we have laid out all that you need to know.
What to Expect When You Get Your Eyebrows Threaded for the First Time
How it Feels
Threading involves two entwined strings. The portion that is entwined gently wraps around the tiny hair. Hair is removed in single, precise lines, which allows for greater symmetry than tweezing and other methods of hair removal. Some say the sound of threading is like hearing a deck of cards. Threading is more comfortable than tweezing, waxing and other methods of hair removal.
Your Part
You get to be a part of the process: you will hold one hand over your eyelid and the other hand will hold the skin above your brow. In this way, you will keep the skin taut. This helps to greatly minimize discomfort, and it helps to do your brows easily and effectively. The procedure can be incredibly fast.
Shape
Some salons ask you upfront what brow shape you desire, but others will decide for you unless you state what you want. Practitioners are trained to shape your brows in a way that’s suitable for your face shape and features. You can get your brows trimmed as well if you appreciate the extra precise look.
Recent trends call for thicker brows, but you may decide to have thinner ones. Salons generally provide a guide to look at and to show the practitioner. However, ask the practitioner for their opinion, too. You might like to try something new.
Reddening
You might experience some skin reddening. This is normal any time you remove hair from your brows; however, more often than not, you can have your brows massaged after the experience. Some salons offer aloe vera, which is soothing and cooling to the skin, and it helps to alleviate redness. It’s not advisable to wear a lot of makeup as it can interfere with the threading process, and it can leave an uneven appearance between the area your makeup remains and the area where your eyebrows were threaded.
The Aftermath
Your rosy-colored skin will dissipate quickly. Some experience redness for about an hour. It is not advisable to apply concealer or foundation immediately after your threading session. You could end up clogging your skin’s pores and causing other issues, which can cause spotting. Some salons will fill in your brows with a product of your choosing.
