eyebrow threading Options

[qoddesscheeks]

has anyone ever tried getting their eyebrows threaded ? i heard that it's better than plucking&waxing, but is it really painful ?

[gigiopolis]

I haven't had them threaded, but I've heard that it's cheap, fast, and painless.

[kokosofly]

I've heard of it... but how do they do it?

[gvoxford]

yea me neither, sounds kinda creepy. i thought of like... stitching your eyebrow.. eeeh!

[lovescream]

Eww, sounds disgusting. Threading is not a good work for me.

[Joanne]

it sounds scary.......

[Wishful_Dream]

my friend's mother can do threading. my friend said it's painless. well less painful than waxing or plucking.

[nevlothiel]

Oh my God...it hurts so much! I got it done in grade 8 and I almost DIED! It was so painful...ever rolled an elastic band over your arm hair? Feel that? Well, it's like a more painful version of that...and if you move your face, you start to bleed because the thread cuts your skin instead of the hair on your eyebrows. I'd stick to plucking/waxing if I were you.

[Gypsy Eyes]

If you get them threaded, make sure you get them done at a good place. I personally only get them threaded twice a year (before states) It really isn't too painful.

[gigiopolis]

Eyebrow threading doesn't include any puncturing, so you can stop grimacing now. It's just threads that pull together on a hair, and pull the hair off. I don't know how to explain it...maybe google it?

it's not THAT bad
well it'll hurt a little

[laylooo]

i saw it on tv, its just like plucking your eyebrow, but w/ strings? yea im pretty sure it'll still hurt

[b0st0ngrl]

I would not know.. But to me, it sounds like it hurts. I don't want a needle near my eyes!!!

[flyonthewall4590]

i don't thingk there's a needle envolved^

[becomingAWARE]

Wow. The responses are so varied...Now im a bit afraid to venture into the world of threading...id stick to waxing if its your first time, then you can pluck from there.

[*stephinika*]

hm i've heard its painless, but it depends on the person. btw, jackie, i love your new sig.

[EmmalieV]

hmmm..eyebrow threading 0_o weird.

[gigiopolis]

I would not know.. But to me, it sounds like it hurts. I don't want a needle near my eyes!!!

There are no needles involved.

I just said before it involves no puncturing. Jeebus, can people just read the posts??

[qoddesscheeks]

lols, well i googled it and found some background information. it is an ancient indian way of fixing eyebrows. well i guess the pain varies among people (just like piercings). i'm just wondering if it's worth giving a try.

[shortiiex]

ugh...i got the chills

[shortee_]

I would try it since my grandma knowes how..it's suppose to be painless and last a little longer?

[lovescream]

There are no needles involved.

They can read, they just don't tend to.
Or I am wrong and they can't read, period.

[lilnatcat]

Lolz, when i saw the topic, I was like "this sounds interesting"
But yea, I know what you're talking about now that you've described it.

Yes, its exactly like plucking ur eyebrows but ONLY with string, no needle or nything sharp involved! You'd need very good eyesight and be a professional, I have never tried it myself coz I don't trust myself.

[misoshiru]

wow...maybe i'll try it.

[MeanBastard]

Um, eyebrow threading is when you get a piece of string. Wrap it around your fingers tightly. And you sorta.... scrape wherever you dont want hair.

[imadorkabledxd]

i have. doesnt hurt.

[miss barnes]

i didnt think i knew what it was until i read the posts. i dont know anyone who does it..so?

[sunissed14127]

I saw it on Tv.....it didnt look like it hurt, but I've heard it's pretty painful. I'm just sticking to waxing =)

[linister]

i saw this and thought i would reply... i've only really heard of indian people doing it i guess cuz im indian... hahaha... the only places i've heard of it being done are indian salons... but yeah its really cheap... my sister learned how to do it and just about all her friends come over for her to do it for them... it doesnt hurt unless the person doing it isnt good at it... the first time i got it done, i cried the whole time and swore i would never do it again but then my sister and one of her friends did it and i didnt even feel it and it was so fast... a lot less painful than pulling each hair out individually like plucking... it kinda grabs a bunch at one time... and there are no needles or anything involved...

[Teesa]

I've had it done before. To tell you the truth, I like it better than waxing and plucking because it is really quick and it only hurt a little the first time and it gets the hair our quickly.

[xsweetxcandyx]

it hurts like a motha!

[lilphoenix]

best to get someone who actually knows how to do it.

heard of it, seen it done, don't wanna do it.

[lakerfever2476]

Wow, *feels on eyebrows* i should try that! I:)

[xSqueekyMexicanx]

i dont get it

[Spunknicity]

ewwww, sounds gross, but never tried it, so i wouldn't know.

[gigiopolis]

i dont get it

Google solves all problems.

[smyleefaceangel]

I did it and it was a little painful, but just becuz it was my first time doing it. U get used to it after a while and it is a whole lot better than plucking or waxing. The results last longer and it is much faster. :)

[angel-roh]

ewwww... who would want to do that... ewwwwwwwwww!!

[linister]

whats ewww about it?

[xBaBiEGrLx]

i know this lady that does it.it doesnt look like it hurts for her.

[*mona lisa*]

ooh ooh i know how to do it!! it doesn't hurt as much as waxing. that's if whoever is doing it is good and experienced. you can do it yourself too. and its a lot quicker. but i think plucking hurts less.

[177emories]

it doesn't sounds "unpainful"

[whomps]

i saw this and thought i would reply... i've only really heard of indian people doing it i guess cuz im indian... hahaha... the only places i've heard of it being done are indian salons... but yeah its really cheap... my sister learned how to do it and just about all her friends come over for her to do it for them... it doesnt hurt unless the person doing it isnt good at it... the first time i got it done, i cried the whole time and swore i would never do it again but then my sister and one of her friends did it and i didnt even feel it and it was so fast... a lot less painful than pulling each hair out individually like plucking... it kinda grabs a bunch at one time... and there are no needles or anything involved...

It's not only Indian.. I've seen it in being done in Chinese movies.

[Just_Dream]

It's not only Indian.. I've seen it in being done in Chinese movies.

Really? lol What Chinese movies?

My mother's friend (who is Chinese, lol) did it to my mother and my half sister.. Not just the eyebrows, but around the face as well.. Well I heard it stung a little at first but then aftewards the pain sort of goes away and it's a lot better than waxing/tweezing anyway.

Actually, isn't it where you get like two pieces of string (I'm not sure if it's 1 or 2 pieces of thread) and thread it together a certain way. Then you put the thread on your face and pit at the string and it grabs clumps of hair and yanks it out. You pull the ends of the string in a certain way, I believe in opposite directions, and it grabs the hair quickly and yea... Something like that. I saw my mom's friend doing it to her.

[D1SMANTLED]

OUCH! eyebrow threading HURTS!

[linister]

x_angawhomps... didnt say it was only indian... just only heard of indians doing it...

Just_Dream... kinda like what you said... one piece of thread you just tie it together so its one circle then twist it... and put it against the hair and pull one end open... ok that doesnt really explain it... it sounded better in my head...

[lilJdawg]

Hm. that sounds wierd. never tried & won't. sounds painful.

[*not_your_average*]

I get threading done. It hurts a little, but you get used to it. It's especially good for your eyebrows, because you get a more precise shape than you would with waxing or plucking.

[charanjust4yu]

i get it done by my sis's friend (we are indian but its not only indian) and it hecka hurt the 1st time cuz i had **** load of hair yes i am ah airy beast.. lol i couldnt even opne my eyes but you get used to it.. so it doesnt hurt anymore yay i love the resulsts tho.. hair doesnt grow back for 5 weeks for me... you should definitely try it and theres nothing eww bout it

[mai_z]

It's in quite a few ancient chinese movies... (the only one I can think of now is witness to a procecution) they use it instead of shaving the face (on guys and girls ) as well as eyebrows. I've heard it shapes your eyebrows better too, but i've never had it done so I wouldn't know.

[XtasyHigh]

yea me neither, sounds kinda creepy. i thought of like... stitching your eyebrow.. eeeh!

took the words right out of my mouth!

[lilliannnn]

ewwww... who would want to do that... ewwwwwwwwww!!

How is that gross?


I haven't done it, but I'd like to try it.

[shesFRESH]

ive seen it done, i always wanted to get my eyebrows threaded.

[Comptine]

threading is actually suppose to be a lot better than waxing.

what they do is take a thread and twist it till it's a little kinky in the center then they roll it while stretching with their fingers. the kinky middle part moves around and leaves a hole. they apply this to ONE HAIR and pull. waxing rips out lots of hair and skin at the same time while threading pulls one hair at a time out.

[x_FLiPbaBY_x]

i`ve seen how they do it.. my friend says that it really doesn`t hurt... so i dunno... maybe i`ll try it someday...

[bbyunique]

What's eyebrow threading? Is it less painful than waxing? I wax and its not that painful.

[x1_krazie_ladie]

ouchie at 1st it hurted like a mofo i had tears in my eyes hurts SO BAD here's the story: told sis i want to get my eyebrows done...she then says she go do hers and i follow she said it was threading i didnt know what it was so followed anywayz went there she got hers done first nd i watch her and it looked painless but wen she got off that chair her eyes....TEARS then it was my turn i got so freaked out just closed my eyes the WHOLE TIME nd i kinda squirmed(sp?) in the chair cuz it really hurts but once u get use to it its not that bad...its actually pretty good they get it clean =]

[HoodieObsessed]

hmmm, never done it, my eyebrows are very petite.

My friend got her eyebrows waxed and said it hardly hurt at all. It's been like half ayear and surprisingly they still look great, so...maybe you shoudl go with that?

I don't know, I'm not a cosmetic expert by any means

[loopylandscapes4...]

threading hurts a lot

I think plucking is better, slower, but not as painful

[girlwiththecamer...]

I haven't tryed it. Nor will I ever plan to. It really sounds creepy to me. I rather just have to pluck more often.

[xx_Fashionista_x...]

Hurts like hell but has a satisfiying outcome
