Must Know Disadvantages Of Eyebrow Threading

Threading uses a length of thread twisted around the fingers of the beautician. The fingers are moved in such a way over the eyebrows so as to give a scissor like movement where a row of eyebrow hair is pulled from the roots at one go.

Introduced from Asia this unique process of eyebrow grooming is gaining rapid popularity in the west. You can remove unwanted hair, arch your eyebrows and give definition to your eyes. It is better than tweezing since at one go many hairs are removed and so the process is faster. Also, threading is a far cheaper way of getting rid of your unwanted hair.

However, it is important to get it done by a beautician who just knows her job well otherwise you may lose a substantial chunk of eyebrow hair just by one wrong move of the thread. A competent person will do it in such a way that you will not feel any pain.

In spite of the many advantages of eyebrow threading there are certain downsides too. Here below we discuss some of them.

Information About Eyebrow Threading

Threading Pain

This completely depends on the competency of the person who is wielding the thread. With some you will feel not even an iota of pain and won’t even realise when the process is over; while with others every hair removed turns into an ordeal with tears coming into your eyes automatically because of the accompanied pain.

However, it is a general experience that the first time under a thread can seem difficult, but over time when you get used to the process after some sittings the small amount of pain fails to bother you and you start taking everything in the stride.

Also the pain depends on the skin sensitivity and consistency of your eyebrow hair, so regular threading diminishes the pain since thickness of hair is less in that case. But if the pain seems unbearable and too much, it is better to switch over to another salon or beautician or may be another method of hair removal altogether for better results.

Wrong Effects

Uneven threading, incomplete threading, wrong threading, unmatched threading all of these can mar the beauty of your face and all this is in the hands of your threader. So the mantra is beware of an inexperienced threader. Get it done by someone who knows her job well.

Chances Of Infection

Threading removes hair from the follicles so, there is a chance of the eyebrow hair follicles to get infected. Follicle infection or folliculitis results in the appearance of white itchy pimples. Severe cases may cause permanent hair loss from your eyebrows or scarring.

Just after the threading the area around the eyebrows becomes extra sensitive and all the skin pores remain open. In such a case some lotion or beauty product applied by your beautician may trigger allergic reaction.

In order to avoid the chances of infection and allergies it is best if a toner or astringent is applied on the threaded area, this drastically reduce the chances of any untoward happenings.
