Despite its recent surge in popularity, eyebrow threading has actually been around for hundreds of years. Wax-coated thread is expertly twisted around the hairs, quickly pulling them away from the follicle, while the skin of the brow is held taut.

GETTING READY FOR THREADING OR WAXING

It’s a good idea to clean your skin beforehand, removing any traces of make-up, whether you’re threading or waxing. Threading or waxing your brows when there is dirt or oil buildup can result in post-treatment pimples. Before beginning, a trained beautician will ensure that your skin is clean. For the same reason, avoid applying make-up immediately afterward, as this can easily enter and clog the opened follicles. As a result, it is ideal for at-home beauty treatments.

We also recommend that you avoid the sun or sunbeds the day before and the day after plucking, waxing, or threading. Sun exposure can cause your skin to become more sensitive. Some women believe that avoiding brow sessions during their period is beneficial because hormones can make their skin more sensitive.
