eyebrow shaping method

Hi all,
for those of you looking for a place that does threading in your country/state/city
this site will help you Eyebrow Threading: All about eyebrow threading, facial hair threading, and finding threading salons near you

For those of you who want to learn self threading be warned that it is not easy and takes a lot of patience.

To get started you will need a strong thread not an easily breaking one. I prefer coats 100% cotton number (??) I have to check.

cut a 16 inch long thread and make a loop by knotting the two ends (hold two ends together loop over your ring finger, bring you thumb against the loop, push it off while twirling and pulling tight). this is the easy part.

make figure eight while holding the loop on the edges of ring finger and thumb of both hands. Increase the twists by keeping one hand stationary and twirling the other hand either in clockwise OR anti clockwise direction. This is also an easy part.

Practice moving thumb and ringfinger of one hand only bringing them closer and stretching them farther apart while keeping the thread streched taut and the other hand stationary. Once you get a hang of it, now try moving thumb and ringfinger of both hands in co-ordination, while one set is close together , the other will be wide apart and vice versa. practice this while keeping the thread tautly stretched. this is the medium hard part.

Now hold both hands very close to the area that needs to be rid of hair and move the '<' part of the loop over the hair so that edges of the hair are betweent the thread. stretch fingers of one hand wide apart simultaneously bringing the fingers of the other hand close together and repeat. If you are lucky you will manage to thread out few hairs at this first attempt. This is the hard part and this is where patience comes in handy. Keep trying until you get to master it.

Please try on your legs or on your toe hair first. The key is holding the thread taught.

Major disadvantage of plucker is that you might pull skin also along with hair leaving tiny scars or pits.

have fun trying....
