Thread Alert: How to get the best brows

Unruly brows? Unkempt facial forests? Put down the tweezers – threading is the timeworn tradition that’s taking our eyebrow conscious nation by storm. With some help from the team at Eyebrow World, we uncovered why every woman (and man) will become a threading convert. 

An ancient hair removal technique commonly used across India and the Middle East, threading has rapidly grown in popularity in the Western world. A threading artist twists and rolls a cotton string over the eyebrows, which lifts the entire hair from the follicle. 

There are many benefits to threading as opposed to other hair removal techniques. First and foremost, threading is free from the chemicals used in other hair-removal methods, and is also the kindest on the skin, particularly on delicate areas of the face. And, if you weren’t already convinced, threading is ultra-precise, boasts long-lasting results and is also friendly on the bank balance.
