Hi,

Can someone enlighten me on this process please because someone at work suggested that i got this done, i've had them waxed before but threading sounds scary!

It involves hair removal with the use of cotton. The cotton is twisted around two fingers of each hand and the removal process is then done by pinching and extracting the hairs between the twisted cotton strands ... it's a bit hard to explain actually.

I've been told that hair removal this way is very effective yet it is quite painful and causes redness around the area being treated.

Personally speaking, I'd much rather have my eyebrows waxed, as my tolerance of pain is quite low

ouch sounds painful think i'll stick with the waxing!

i've heard different, i've met many people who have had eyebrow threading and they say it is hardly painful at all, it's incredibly accurate and doesn't take long to do. I've not had it done myself so i can't comment, but like i said the people i've met who have had it done can't praise it enough.

i had my eyebrows threaded a few weeks ago it did make my eyes water! it took about 15 mins and the shape was very defined. the therapists tend to remove a lot of hairs that you probably wouldnt do with waxing (like above the eyebrow) i think because it is an indian tradition and their hairs being dark this is why they do that to get the 'perfect' shape.

ive had mine done and must say its a lot more 'uncomfortable' than waxing. waxing is quicker, but the threading left a much tidier job and also it seemed to last longer,,,not sure how, but it did...

i will go again to get threading done...just got to wait for a interpreter to make me an appt again, as the therapist only speaks indian!

I have my eyes and top lip threaded i'v been having it done for 2 years now.
somtimes it hurts but i find the hair doesnt grow back as quick

how do you find the growth after getting your upper lip done? i was asked if i wanted mine done but i said no. ive seen women who shave it and it grows back really stubbly. ive bleached mine in the past, but have taken to just trimming them slightly as this doesnt effect the growth cycle.

also what would the difference in appearance be to waxing the upper lip to threading?

iv never had my upper lip waxed so i carnt compare it to threading.but my hair is dark and i find i need to have my lip threaded every 2/3 months they do recomend every 2 weeks but i only go when the hair starts to get visual..

wow thats a long time! much be good aye! im still to nervous to get anything done, as im worried i'll end up growing a moutstache (sp)

My sister has a huge mouthstache (it even puts my partner to shame)so im always paronaid about hair on my upper lip..thats why as soon as the hair becomes noticable i go and have it threaded lol x

i know when waxing the hair has to be at a reasonable level to get it waxed....

when having threading, can the hair be shorter then needed when waxing?

Im not 100 % sure on that but my hair is never long x

Hiya!

Well, threading is a simple art form of removing hairs using a cotton thread. It is twisted, catches the hairs and removes them from the root. This ensures less and thinner re-growth. The shape is great and accurate, but requires many years to be brilliant at.
I have been doing it for 8 years now, and if you would like to come and have your eyebrows threaded, message me back and ill give you my contact details. Once you try it, you will be hooked!!

Take Care
