If you’ve been tweezing or waxing for years, then you may still have to sample the joys of eyebrow threading!

Due to the precision of the approach, threading is a great alternative to other salon or DIY approaches and because it’s inexpensive and takes mere minutes, it’s the way to go for students and girls on a budget who won’t settle for less when it comes to their brows!

The method, which originated in India, is done by removing unwanted hair with a twisted cotton thread. Sounds fairly painless, right? Wrong!

Eye-watering, yes, but is it worth it? Absolutely.

Here are three quick tips for anyone new to threading!

Communicate
Like all beauty procedures, it’s vital you communicate your preference to your beautician. Thick, medium, thin; don’t forget to speak up!

Expect some pain
The threading process is over very quickly, but it stings while it’s happening. Deep breaths and the knowledge it’ll be over in less than two minutes will see you through!

Don't panic
Threading tends to be a little kinder to the skin than waxing and tweezing, but it may not look that way immediately after!  Don’t panic; the redness will calm down almost immediately and you’ll be left with brows that perfectly frame your face.

If you haven’t yet tried this approach, give it a go! It might be the exact approach you and your brows are looking for!
