eyebrow threading

[kerriesmum]

does it hurt?
does it take long to do?
is the regrowth quicker than if waxed?

I hurts less than waxing and plucking and is quite relaxing - that's my experience. It's also much easier to get a good eyebrow shape.
The regrowth is slow and the hairs finer.

Be careful or else you might end up with no eyebrows! I friend of mine shaved hers off for some reason many years ago and they never came back!! I wouldn't wax the main shape, only underneath.

Try Eyebrow Knitting, quite difficult to do but the results are fantastic.

Hurts like a Mo-Fo! I hate it, waxing hurts much, much less.... however the result is nicer from threading. I recommend alternating your months. The place I go to, I reckon they really enjoy their work :-/

I found threading felt much like tweezing and I got the impression that regrowth was slower than waxing

I'll never go back to waxing having discovered threading, the finish is so much better with threading. I still go bright red and puffy but it is worth it.

Not sure there's any difference as far as regrowth goes, I always have a check in the mirror with tweezers in hand to remove any errant eyebrows.

*no...it doesn't hurt, really (and the more you have it done, the less it hurts)
*takes about two minutes, if that
*regrowth is less than waxing...and the results are more definative. wax can pull layers of skin off too, but threading is much less....risky!

try you tube for some demo's...you can even try to teach yourself! x

All you lot saying that it doesn't hurt are either liars or well 'ard ;oP

[kerriesmum]

oh dear conflicting answers about the pain of threading.
What does the process involve ?.

The best thing might be to go into a store where there is an eyebrow threading concession and watch someone having it done. The 'operators' are really skilful and generally don't mind you asking questions.

[kerriesmum]

That is a really good idea annemollie i might just do that thankyou.

I was put off after the first few times I had it done it hurt like hell. I find waxing quite relaxing whereas threading more of a faff as you have to hold your skin taut for the threader.

Saying that, I was tempted by a half price offer in Superdrug (not sure if it's just our one of generally) and I have to say it didn't hurt anywhere like before, maybe it's the technique of the threader?

I can't say I've noticed any real difference with regrowth. As for finish, I think, again, it depends on the threader/waxer.

after all the answers about pain i think i will keep the bushy look up a wee bit longer lol
