Eyebrow plucking??

Question

This is hard for me to explain but on the tele I have seen someone pluck their eyebrows with 3 strings dragged over the eyebrow. Could anyone tell me what this is, what its called and how it works? Thanks!

Answer 1

It's the asian method of hair removal called "threading". Facial threading is a painless, Asian method of hair removal with no side effects. It also helps give clients a tremendous glow and clean shape after the procedure. Two to three feet of special, thick cotton thread is twisted over the area in a quick motion. The process is fast and can remove all types of unwanted hair.

Answer 2

Its called threading, plucking eyebrows with thread. Easier way is to take one long string and tie knot on the broken ends. Put both hands inside the knotted string and pull the strings like repelling each other. Hold one hand still and twist the other hand. put the string on the hair to be pulled on eyebrows or upperlips or legs, and continue dragging with the twists in the string. It is much easier than the 3 stings, one in the mouth, second two in the hands. Yes, it may hurt a little, in the beginning, but the skin comes out so smooth and relaxing that hair growth decreases termendously, also hair doesnot grow out for long. Good luck plucking ur eyebrows with thread.

ok - its a process called threading...its like the new plucking. im not sure if its possible to do it yourself, but i do know you can get it done at like a salon. not sure of the price, but it shouldnt be more than $20. dont know if it hurts either. all i know is that ive always plucked mine and think thats all i ever do. im always getting complimented on my eyebrows. but personally threading seems nice. i believe they take a string and loop it around the hair and pull it out. and from my understanding i think they do it pretty fast too. so hope it helped...

It's called threading and is done mainly in Indian/Asian beauty salons. I used to wax my eyebrows but that removes a layer of skin which can lead to scabbing and scarring. I now get my eyebrows threaded about once a month; the results are better, faster, less painful and there's no scabbing or scarring.

Answer 5

This is called Threading. It uses a string to take out hair very much like using a tweezer except it gets more hair out at the same time. I have this done all the time, for me its better than waxing. It might hurt if its your first time but youll get used to it.

Answer 7

you can do it yourself, practice on your legs first until you get the hang of it.

tie the piece of thread together in a knot and then wind it up making up sure there are gaps at both ends so you can hold it with two fingers - both hands at either end and then it's like using scissors - use on hand and when the gaps get wider at the other end use the opposite hand.

It takes a lot of practice - but you will get the hang of it.

Hope i have explained this right....

Answer 8

its just called getting your eyebrows threaded. the hairs get pulled between the threads and then get pulled out . . . If im correct it was East Indians who started it :) most east indian salons usually do it !
