To thread or not to thread....

I keep reading on here about how people find threading their eyebrows so good, and I wonder if I should have a go.
I have relatively 'tame' brows. They aren't particularly thick or thin, I just pluck the odd stray hair here and there.
Would threading make much of a difference?
Interested to know!

Mine aren't particularly horrendous when left au naturel, but I do find threading tidies them up a lot and makes me look vaguely "groomed" even when have no makeup/scruffy clothes. It also lasts for ages.

what about chin threading?

I have thick eyebrows that need a lot of maintenance and threading is fab. As PP said it helps you look more groomed especially on a no makeup day.

It also saves me doing the every day tweezing routine that is needed if I don't get them threaded.

I did have my top lip and under chin threaded once and I would never do it again - beyond painful!!

I had my eyebrows and upper lip done this year and it was fab, the eyebrow shape has stayed really good now and I just pluck the odd bit of regrowth. I would definitely get them done again.

The lip area, I had done twice, the first technician was amazing and it didn't hurt at all but the second time was a different technician and it was quite painful my eyes were watering like mad. I probably would still get it done again as its only a few seconds of pain for great results.

Anothe vote for yes - my beautician moved overseas and I stopped threading for a bit- yikes I was never so relieved when she arrived back.Smile

I promised myself that I wouldn't touch my eyebrows with tweezers again, they are still trying to recover from my teenage/twenties years.
I was explaining to my DD that "in my day" the look was a thicker bit near the middle then a sharp angled brow to the edge I must've looked gorgeous

She had hers threaded today, she had pink skin for a while but it wasn't painful.

Mine haven't recovered enough to merit any intervention. (I used Revitabrow, they've bulked out a bit but still need filled in )
