Eyebrow threading is an ancient hair-removal technique practiced for centuries in Asia and the Middle East. A cotton thread is twisted along the skin to lift hairs cleanly from the follicle — more precise than waxing and gentle on the face.
Threading is a hair removal technique that uses cotton thread. The thread is twisted and rolled along the surface of the skin and the hairs caught in the thread are lifted quickly from the follicle. It is more precise than waxing and allows for cleaner, more defined lines.
Waxing peels the top layers of skin and four out of five people are sensitive to wax. Waxing is great for the body, but threading is best for the face — wax can pull skin and lead to wrinkles. Threading is gentler and a better choice if you use medicated products on your skin or are prone to breakouts.
You'll hold your skin tight while the brow is shaped — one hand on the eyelid and one on the forehead to stretch the skin gently.
It depends on your eyebrow shape and hair thickness. On average it takes about 5–7 minutes.
Generally every 4 to 6 weeks. Done repeatedly, the hair grows back finer and the follicle becomes thinner. Unlike waxing, threading can be done as soon as the hair appears — there's no need to wait for a certain length.
Threading is much less painful than other methods because it's fast and removes several hairs at once. The more often you thread, the less discomfort you feel as the skin adapts. For most people it feels like a small pinch — and it's less painful than tweezing.
We recommend a few days before. Especially for first-time threading or after a long gap, the brow area may be slightly red. Redness usually fades within a few hours but can last up to 24 hours for some.
Henna tinting is a treatment that stains the skin and brow hair. The dye is natural and plant-derived, making it safe for the majority of skin types.
Yes. Henna is one of the best options for covering gray hairs in the brow. The natural pigment is extracted from the henna plant, has no side effects, and conditions each strand to make it stronger, thicker and the color you want.
Yes — an all-natural henna dye will color the eyebrow to your desired shade as long as it's left on the brows long enough to develop.
