Eyebrow Waxing or Threading: Which Is Better?
When it comes to beauty regimes, everyone is unique and has their own preferences. If you are still wondering if waxing or threading is right for your brows, read on!
For many, eyebrow waxing is important for a neat and even look. Removing unwanted brow hair with wax is quick, fast and the results are lasting. Professionals also have the choice of using hot or cold wax. The cold wax strips professionally used by many stylists are easy to use. These wax strips come with a muslin or cellulose base and can be adjusted to the correct size before warming the sheet in their hands and using them.
Using the hot wax method involves warming up the wax and placing a little bit of wax over the unwanted eyebrow hairs, and a cloth is placed firmly over the warm wax. The cloth is pulled within 2-3 seconds to remove the unwanted hair. Hot wax is the more popular wax type in salons and hot wax is now expected by most customers.
There is also a popular method called threading. In this case, a specific threading technique is used to pluck the hairs on the eyebrow. Still popular with clients, while threading may take more time, the results are long lasting and accurate.
Steps for Using Eyebrow Waxing Appropriately
- It is always better to obtain professional help when experimenting with eyebrow waxing. Most of us don’t have professional training or knowledge of using wax for hair removal. Thus, a professional could help prevent accidents.
- At your first waxing session, clearly explain your preferred shape and preferences. The eyebrow artist may offer advice and together you will both find a shape that suits you best.
- If you are already a beauty practitioner looking for the perfect hot wax product, we offer an amazing professional eyebrow waxing kit that includes everything you need to deliver stunning results.
- The waxing process is quick and after a few minutes you should have your dream shape!
- The artist will then finish your session, using scissors to trim any longer hairs.
Steps for Eyebrow Threading
- The eyebrow threading process requires professional expertise and tolerance towards discomfort. Your practitioner will loop the thread in their hands and start the process.
- The loop has to be twisted in an x-shape while holding the ends out with both the index fingers and the thumbs.
- By keeping one hand in place, the other two fingers are moved in the motion of a scissor, causing the meeting point of the loop to have enough pressure to pull out the hairs in the area.
- The whole process has to be continued in the opposite direction of the hair growth. This process focuses on pulling out each hair, which may cause discomfort for some.
Conclusion
Both processes of eyebrow waxing and threading can offer you your desired look. The waxing session is not painful to most, and many choose the hot wax method for all their hair removal needs.
