Eyebrow Threading

If you haven't had your eyebrows groomed in a while or if this is your first time, my best suggestion is don't do it on your own. Most women don't have a clue of how to take care of their eyebrows so leave it to the professionals. Once a pro shows you some techniques and lays down a shape of your brow you can keep them in shape with tweezers. ( refer to my tweezing guide for more tips)

The best method you can use is that one that you think will be best suited for you. Threading is an excellent choice for beginners but if your skin is sensitive you might want to try either waxing or tweezing. Although out of all of the choices threading seems to last the longest usually about 2 to 3 weeks depending on how fast they can grow back. Also with treading if you have any unwanted facial hair you can get that done as well. If you're worried about money none of these procedures should cost more than 20 dollars depending on where you live.

1. The first step is making sure you skin is clean before you begin. You can also numb the pain by either rubbing an ice cube over you brow area for a minute or so before you begin. Or by taking pain killers to lesson the pain. Make sure that your tweezers are also clean for a better arch.

2. With tweezing you have to be very careful, many women can over tweeze and that can result to very many weeks with spare eyebrow hair missing. Sometimes it can take months till a year for your hair to grow back properly. Always remember when you're doing the space between your bros that it should be equal or a little wider than your eyes. If you want to find the space use a eye shadow brush and hold it parallel to the side of your nose. The brush should meet your brows, and that is where the brow should start. If you're looking for the end of your brow take the brush and move it diagonally from your nose. Follow the outside edge of your eye toward your brow. When the inside edge of the brush hits is where you brow should end.

2. Always follow your natural arch of your brow. No two people have exactly the same arch of eyebrows so don't use celebrity photos to try and get their arch. You have to find your own arch to bring out the best in your appearance. To find your arch take the brush and hold it parallel to the outside edges of your iris. Where the brush meets the brow is the highest part of where your brow should be.

3. Try to go in a room where the light can shine in through a window so that you can see all of your eyebrow hair. The bathroom is one of the best places because you can also use the mirror. If you want you can also try a magnifying mirror (you might want to tweeze a few times first because some people can over tweeze with magnifying mirrors.)

4. When you're plucking the hairs always go in the direction in which the hair grows. Do your best to grab as little hair at a time as you can. Grabbing to much can lead to an over plucked look. To make things easier use your hand to hold the skin as you go.

5. Don't be afraid to tweeze above your brow. In order to have a smooth clean look you need to tweeze both the top and bottom of the brow, but remember less is more. Go slowing as you tweeze. If you're in a rush pick a better time for tweezing your brows.

6. Look at your brow as you go along. You might want to pull always from the tweezers a couple of times to really see what's going on with your brow. Most over tweezers keep going and
