If you must cut &amp; paste from the web please, limit to one short paragraph Mi no like read lang sinting! </span>

Re: Threading Eyebrows

I've done it...won't go back to waxing because I find it neater, quicker and less painful.

I can go two weeks without having it redone.

Yes, you can swim with it. Uhhh?

Process - you sit in a chair with your head back and a metro man or woman places thread between his/her teeth and quickly works it across your brow to remove hair.

I <span style="font-weight: bold">GOOGLED</span> to cut and paste the process to show you &quot;what is involved&quot; but it was more than one paragraph, so I thought, hey, I'll leave that up to you to do that.

Re: Threading Eyebrows



I cant take to waxing. THAT hurts too much for me. Other ppl say the opposite.

I can go up to 3 (almost 4) weeks before I thread again. Depends on the talent of the threader. Now I only go to the East Indian girls because they are very fast, do it clean and super duper cheap.

Regular Spa Price for Eybrows &amp; Upper lip: $25
East Indian Spa for eyebrows &amp; upper lip: $8

Time at regular spa: 30 mins
Time at East Indian Spa: 5mins

all them do is twist a peice of thread and pull it against your skin and it plucks the hair out. They come flying out fast and furious And I find it more precise than waxing. They can pull out a single strand of hair with a piece of thread.

Dont understand the swimming question though? I think you may have the wrong idea about what threading is You just pluck and go about your business.

Re: Threading Eyebrows

found a good video that highlights ALL the reasons why I do threading instead of waxing.

Not to disparage a soul but I will trust noone but an East Indian or Middle Eastern woman to do it well. It is their &quot;thing&quot; and they do it the best and quickest and least painfully.

Re: Threading Eyebrows

i do it because the wax usually burns me...or some piece of my skin that not supposed to come off does

painful? yes..but the (indian ) lady does a good job, and she does it very quickly.

Re: Threading Eyebrows

Well one of my aunts had her eyebrows threaded at the mall. She told my cousin she felt like gut punching the woman for both the pain and jacking up her eyebrows.

In top of that the threader was pizzed cause she didn't receive a tip, aunt had to go and buy a eye line pencil to draw some eyebrows.  

Sorry but I'm not letting anybody pluck, wax or thread anyting on me.

Re: Threading Eyebrows


I do it just to &quot;clean&quot; up the shape. Just give it sharper definition. That is why waxing just isnt useful to me. My brows end up thinner than I would like.

If u just have a few stagglers here and there then threading is best Two two twists and them gone

Re: Threading Eyebrows


Boopie what does this have to do with a thing

If a girl wants to pluck her eyebrows right off then for her choice. That dont mean everybody who goes to get them eyebrows done will walk out looking like that

The picture is just showing what may go wrong if you get the same lady. Just like the pink lipstick where did I say everybody looked the same.

This picture is what it will look like if the threader does a crappy job, where you have to draw them back on.
