Eyebrow Threading versus or eyebrow waxing?

Being in the 70's era, we plucked our eyebrows too thin and now hard to get them growing back. Just wondered whether I should wax or thread.Eyebrow Threading versus or eyebrow waxing?

Eyebrow Threading vs Waxing





Contact with Skin: Since eyebrow threading has little to no contact with the skin, it does not irritate the skin for more than a few minutes. In contrast to that, waxing pulls the skin when the hair is removed. This can easily make the sensitive skin go pink and red with skin irritation. Read more on side effects of waxing.





Pain: While both these methods are quite painful, the waxing method is easily the most painful one, as most of the waxes used are warm and can end up burning or scorching the skin at times. Another reason is that the molten wax around your eyes can be a cause for concern.





Sensitive Skin: The chemicals present in the wax might irritate the sensitive, thin skin around the eyes. The resins and the artificial ingredients in the wax can trigger off an allergic reaction and rashes as well. In addition to this the top layers of the skin that are traumatized by waxing can develop redness and pigmentation. On the long run eyebrow waxing can result in skin loosening and the appearance of ugly wrinkles between eyebrows. People suffering from skin diseases like Rosacea may find the eyebrow threading method a boon.





Eyebrow Shaping: Threading gives you the perfect and the most accurate eyebrow shape with cleaner, straighter lines. It is also a quicker method of hair removal as compared to eyebrow waxing and ensures that the hair is removed from the follicle. Moreover, once the hair grows back you do not have to deal with the thick dark hair that is usually observed a few days after an eyebrow waxing session. Read more on eyebrow shaping tips.





Expense: Eyebrow threading is a cheaper option as compared to waxing. While eyebrow waxing can set you back by $12, threading your brows can cost somewhere around $7, so it does not pinch your pocket too much.





In addition to these comparisons between eyebrow threading vs waxing, it is also observed that threading eyebrows has long lasting results than any other hair removal techniques. Whatever method you choose, it is best to get it done by an experienced professional as wrong usage of any of the above methods can lead to uneven brows, hair breakage, ingrown hair and a whole lot unnecessary pain.Eyebrow Threading versus or eyebrow waxing?
Personally I find threading better because





1) Threading does not peel a layer of skin the way waxing does.





2) My skin reddened and kinda swelled up for a couple of days after waxing my brows.





3) Hair does not grow back as fast, and hair regrowth is finer.





4) Threading removes even the finest of hair and feels smooth like baby's skin.





Yup, so hope that helps! ;)
Threading i have heard from customers to be more painful, i would reccomend waxing for any type of hair removal. Plus you have a more control and precision with a wooden mini spatula, vs a string that rapidly removes youre hair, it involves alot of cleaning up with sissors. :-)
Wax. It hurts way less in the long run, threading feels like razors against your skin. They can control, and it lasts longer. When I threaded it only lasted 3 days, versus waxing which lasts 2 weeks +
Threading is much better. it lets you shape up your brow in any shape and size you want unlike waxing.
either or if ur skin is sensitive thread, if not wax
thread is better.
