Eyebrow threading is an old hair removal technique which originated in the Middle East and South Asia

Threading shapes and cleans the eyebrows, and it can also be used to remove hair from other facial and body areas. The eyelid is stretched to make the hair removal easy.  Eyebrow threading involves twisting a piece of thread, usually cotton, into a double strand. Eyebrow threading can be used to eliminate a unibrow, raise the arch of the eyebrow, or add shape and definition to the brow. As it removes hair by the follicle, it is a reasonably long lasting hair removal technique as well. Eyebrow threading also will not harm the skin like wax and some depilatory creams can. If done correctly, the skin should not be red or irritated for more than a few minutes after the eyebrow threading session.

Eyebrow threading has positive and beautiful outcomes and the results involve cleaner and straighter lines, balanced facial features and often lift the eyes. Eyebrow threading is a favored hair removal technique for a number of reasons. The art of threading may be seen in the gentle and explicit twisting of a length of cotton thread which is twisted along the hairs which are to be removed. 

It is necessary to find an aesthetician who is experienced at eyebrow threading as inexperience can outcome in uneven brows, hair breakage, ingrown hairs, or unnecessary pain.

If the eyebrow arch is very high fill the lower area with eyebrow pencil strokes and remove a few hair from the upper segment of the brow. When the eyebrow arch is low, hair should be removed from under the eyebrows and the upper area should be defined with the eyebrow pencil. Threading offers best results when performed by a beautician you endorse and knows exactly how you want them.

Other advantages to eyebrow threading is no allergic reactions such as rashes, no chemicals are involved, it is a good method for people with sensitive skin and the top layers of skin are not damaged when using this approach. Threading is highly suggested and an excellent option for those who use Retin-A, Acutane. This technique is more efficient than tweezers as it pulls out a row of hairs out at a time instead of plucking them one by one. Tweezers can often nip the skin causing small marks. If done properly, the skin should not be red or irritated for more than a few minutes after the eyebrow threading session.
