Then there’s the pro, who performs the complex art of pulling tiny hairs out of your face, via thread, at a rapid speed. You should also check that the eyebrow pencil will wash off with water or makeup remover so you can get rid of the outline once you are done threading your eyebrows. Opening and closing this thread loop means a scissor-like motion is created that cuts the hair, “this allows for a very precise hair removal process,” Yana says. Yana explains that everyone is a great candidate for threading, especially those who struggle with waxing or post-wax breakouts.

If you find the loop is too hard to control, you may try making a new loop that is shorter in length. Sheikh shares some words of wisdom: “‘The least possible to get you through’ is my motto, unless you really know what you're doing,” she says. As with any professional working on your body, you should feel free to ask questions of the threading specialist you see. It can be slightly dangerous to your skin,” adds Kayla Weiss, cosmetologist and co-owner of Los Angeles’ Thread Eyebrows.But, anyone who's never had their eyebrows threaded before probably wonders how a single piece of string shapes brows and gets rid of stray hairs. Choeden recommends a consultation prior to your first appointment to help both you and the threader get on the same page about requirements, goals, and steps to achieve the perfect design.

Unlike traditional eyebrow waxing that uses warm wax and special fabric strips for removal, threading only requires a cotton thread. Hair will start to grow back sparse and finer after repeated threading because hair is pulled out at the root, which gets weakened through this process," says Sheikh. The loop’s center twist should move back and forth as you increase and decrease the distance between your thumbs and forefinger. Since the cotton thread is rubbing against skin, it can cause a little redness and minor irritation on very sensitive skin types.As with waxing and plucking, your skin could break out and — while the risk of infection is low — it does exist.
