Threading vs. Waxing

[chinadoll]

I like threading. It's more precise and cleaner. It took a few times to get use to it. Waxing does not really take all my eyebrow hairs out. In NY it's all the rage now. For 7.00 your eyebrows are threaded and you return maybe every 3 weeks or so..depending on your growth.

Hi,

Threading is a lot nicer and more precise, but it's too painful for me. :scared:

Dumb question: What's threading......:tocktock:

 

[-Liz-]

its when the tech uses two threads twined together to"rip" out the hairs, by opening and closing the threads it isss painful, i thought i was gonna cry the first time but i loove it!

 

[mowgli]

yeah threading leaves your eyebrow area so smooth, even the tiny hairs get pulled out! and regrowth takes a lot longer too..

I used to go to a threading salon too. It is a bit painful, yes.

Now, I am personally tweezing my eyebrows and I am ok with it.

 

[chinadoll]

Sometimes threading can make them too thinned out. Gotta watch out for that or your eyebrows disappear..ha.

 

[missnadia]

So it's like plucking them out but with a thread instead?? Why not just use tweezers?

because its more thurough than tweezing and gets the job done better than wax( an you cant get burnt this way)

Ive never done threading but im assuming its better than waxing. I do my own brows by plucking because they always mess up my brows.

I love threading too. It's soooo painful, but never the less worth it.

I love threading. I've tried the 4 methods (wax, shave, tweeze and threading) I think threading is the best. I hurts but the pain doesn't last. I need to get mine threaded now that I look at them.

I would love to have my eyebrows threaded sometime but I need to find a place that does them.

You girls all say that it hurts but I had my eyebrows threaded when I was in egypt and was surprised that it wasn't that painful.

 

[Jennifer]

ditto for me!!

I haven't gotten my eyebrows threaded yet, but I did have it done to my upper lip and LOVE the results. The place I went is so far from me, but I think I'll go back when it's time for my eyebrows to be done again.

I have done both threading and waxing and I usually like the results better with threading, it does hurt a little bit but not for long. I need to get it done every 3 weeks or so.

I have been letting mine grow in so I could go have a professional thread them. I'm finally going tomorrow. I hope it doesn't hurt too bad!

Some people can not have their eyebrows (or any other area waxed for that matter).

If one is taking Accutane, or up to 6 months after finishing a course, the waxing can burn skin anywhere on their body.

If one is using Retin A, or similar, the wax cannot be applied where ever they apply the Retin A.

A painful red scar can result that takes several days to heal.

Threading is fine - no different than plucking - and will not burn/harm the surrounding skin.
