eyebrow shaping method

Hi,

Monthly once I go to beuty parlour to shape my eyebrows. Now I am going to a chinese shop and they do waxing type to shape it. However,one of my friend said when we do waxing for eybrow shaping the skin will loose there and soon some wrinkles will come. Anyhow,I didn't belive this but deep inside I am scared about this. Is it really true and it does make any sense? What is the difference between threading and waxing? And which one has better effects and which one has more side effects?

regards
srilak.

I read this comment by Shahnaz Hussien in The Hindu. She says that for any hair removal on the face, waxing is not advisable. Waxing apparently erodes the elasticity of the face. For other parts, waxing is okay.

Hi Srilak,

You have posted what was there in my mind too for a long time now. I used to get my eyebrows waxed but when I met this Indian lady who does all this work from home, I started going to her and she mentioned the same point as you did, and although i still continued going to the chinese salon once in a while, i did have it in the back of my mind. This lady was gone to India for a couple of months and I was worrying so much, but she just called yday to inform that she's back!!!

Not only is threading deemed to be a better way to deal with skin, it also is less expensive than the waxing we do at the other salons. I pay her 5 bucks as against 12(incl tip) at the salon.

Hi,
I use plucker for removing extra hair from eyebrows.
I used to go to parlour for threading too. If I cannot go
to parlour, at that time I use plucker.
Can anybody suggest me that using a plucker is good or bad?
Is it bad?

Dear Vidhyalakshmi ,
Don't ever use plucker - it will spoil the shape . So better u wait till u r able to go the parlour , ok ?

THANX in advance.

HI,

Thanks for all the inputs. So everyone agrees that waxing is not that good comparing to threading. Regarding plucker, here everyone,my friends, use it. They go to parlour for eyebrow shaping every 2 to 3 months like that and in between they take it off unwanted hair by plucking. I think it won't harm. They say it will maintain your eyebrow shape. However, for me it pains a lot so I never did it.
