Cecilia FloresTop AnswererWaxing and plucking are essentially the same thing. Waxing takes less time and pulls out more hair at a time, plucking takes more time, pulls out less hair at a time, but you have more precision.

QuestionHow do I remove facial hair?

QuestionCan I use wax to shape eyebrows?
Community AnswerYes, waxing is less painful (because it's quick and easy), but threading is more precise and effective. Plus, threading will generally make your eyebrow hairs come to a "pause" so to speak because it will have your eyebrows last longer with less hair in the shape you wanted, rather than waxing, which allows the hair to grow back. -
QuestionHow do you pluck the upper part of your brows?
Community AnswerPull your eyelid down and flatten the skin under the eye so that the tweezers don't catch your skin. Put the tweezers under the hair and pull. It may help to wince your eye to help the hair come out of the skin easier.
-
QuestionDoes plucking hurt more?
Masterdancer17Community AnswerYes. Threading isn't the best option because it doesn't remove the hair in the root of the brow. Plucking hurts more because it removes the hair from the root.
-
QuestionI have had my eyebrows threaded by a professional salon, but now one eyebrow is up and the other one is down. What can I do to prevent it from happening again?
Syna SinghCommunity AnswerTry going to another salon if possible. You can use castor oil to make your brows grow back faster. If you do get your eyebrows threaded again, make sure you tell the person exactly what shape you're looking for. -
QuestionWhen you thread your eyebrows, does it grow back thicker?
Syna SinghCommunity AnswerNo, when you thread your eyebrow hair it doesn't grow back thicker. Instead it gets thinner over time, since the hair is being plucked out of the roots.
-
QuestionWhat is more painful, plucking or threading?
Community AnswerPlucking hurts worse because plucking pulls out the root of the hair, whereas threading does not.
-
QuestionDoes the hair grow quicker and darker and thicker after its threaded?
Syna SinghCommunity AnswerNo. Threading doesn't make your hair grow darker and thicker. It takes about two or three weeks to actually see the regrowth of eyebrow hair that has been threaded.
-
QuestionCan threading be done to the underside of the brows too?
Community AnswerYes, but it's much more difficult. The underside of the brows is usually a lot thinner than the top, and it can be tricky not to accidentally thread the part you don't want to. I suggest watching a video demonstration first so you can get the results you want. -
QuestionCan tweezing result in pimples?
Community AnswerYes, tweezing can result in pimples or ingrown hairs, so if you experience this issue, I would suggest that you tweeze less often.

QuestionHow can I thread my chin hairs on my own?

QuestionWhy doesn't threading pull out the root of the hair like plucking does?
I like sushiTop AnswererIt is a different hair removal method than plucking, and it is not meant to work the same way.

QuestionWould moisturizer work for soothing the irradiated skin?
Community AnswerYes, moisturizer will work. You can wash the affected area first. Then towel dry it and apply moisturizer.

QuestionWhy does the thread not take anything with it?
Community AnswerIt does if you keep the centre folds of the thread very near to the hairline. You need to practice capturing hair, as it is not easy to get it right instantaneously.
-
QuestionWhat to do if we get a cut during threading?
Community AnswerAvoid threading that deeply. Wash off the affected area with soap and water. Towel dry it and apply an antiseptic cream to help it repair.
-
QuestionWhich thread is better, the cotton or polyester thread?
Community Answer100% cotton threads are the best to use. Flimsy, stretchable synthetic threads can slide and glide, so are best avoided.
-
QuestionDose threading stimulate more hair production?
Community AnswerYes, it may, as it uses no lotion or hair removing creams to affect the skin.
-
QuestionWhat is a good shape for eyebrows?
Community AnswerDepending upon your natural eyebrows, the main shape can guide you to make it starker by removing excess hair and maintaining a good shape. Have a tail end at both corners, as it looks better than trimmed ends.
-
QuestionCan I shave my eyebrow instead of threading?
Community AnswerNo, that is not a good idea. If you use a razor and it slips, with hair as thin as that on the eyebrows risks vanishing in one wrong swipe. If you decide to do this, be cautious with your choice of razor and use careful hand movements.
