Question 1

Can I thread my own eyebrows at home?

Accepted Answer

You can, but it takes practice to get it right, increases your risk of side effects, and could see you catch your own skin in the thread.

Question 2

Is threading painful?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It’s fast and, unlike waxing, it doesn’t tug on your skin; however threading does pluck hair out from the root, so it will hurt. Rest assured, though: the pain is quick and bearable.

Question 3

Is threading better than waxing?

Accepted Answer

It’s not for us to say, but many therapists prefer it because it allows them to be precise without damaging the skin. It also means there’s no danger of double-dipping wax between clients, and it can remove shorter hairs that wax can’t fully grip on to, meaning your eyebrows will stay beautifully shaped for longer.

Question 4

What can I expect during a threading treatment?

Accepted Answer

During a threading treatment, your therapist will use twisted strands of thread to pluck single hairs from the root. Once threading is complete, your therapist may apply a cooling gel (like aloe vera) to the treated area to help soothe your skin.

Question 5

How often should you get threading done?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your hair’s regrowth rate: most people get their legs done every 4 weeks, and their eyebrows done every 2-4 weeks.

Question 6

Are there any risks associated with threading?

Accepted Answer

Side effects are rare, but may include redness, infection, hyper-pigmentation, and ingrown hair. To minimise the risk of side effects, always book in with an experienced professional.

Question 7

How often should I get threading done?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your hair’s regrowth rate: most people get their legs done every 4 weeks, and their eyebrows done every 2-4 weeks.
