Eyebrow Threading, indian salon eyebrow threading tips

Eyebrow Threading is a very quick and effective, traditionally Indian and Middle Eastern, way of getting rid of rows of unwanted hair, but it is catching on in the West too. Threading method is also known as the "fatlah" or "khite".  It is done by twisting a thread to pull or cut hair.  Redness and swelling is normal and subsides in an hour. Threading involves the beautician to make a loop with a thread and then twirl it 2-3 times. Beautician holds one end of the cotton thread in his or her teeth and the other in the left hand when applied with light pressure on the area of unwanted hair growth removes hair efficiently.

Eyebrow Threading is the best method to shape eyebrows and to remove fine facial hair. The best thing about eyebrow threading is that hair can be removed from the exact spot and desired shape for eyebrows can be achieved.

Threading is done on Eyebrows and upper lip hair. The therapist uses a piece of taut twisted thread to pull out the hair. It is no more painful than tweezing and is faster. Eyebrows threading is done in usually every 2-3 weeks. Trained aestheticians roll a considerable length of thread over the skin.

Comment Suggested by Shakky

Threading your eyebrows is better than plucking because:

1. By eyebrow threading the hair grows slowly.
2. plucking hurts more.
3. Plucking takes time whereas threading can be done in less than 2 minutes.
