Eyebrow threading is a century-old practice that originated in Asia and now is practised by people across the globe. Threading not only enhances the natural shape of the eyebrows, but also helps create well-defined, graceful brows. Eyebrow threading comes with precision and it is this precision that makes the process all the more popular amongst both men and women.
The fact that the process of eyebrow threading involves removal of individual hair gives such a level of precision to the entire process. Besides, it also gives the enthusiast complete control over the final outcome. It also reduces the ‘grow-back factor’ thereby ensuring a longer-lasting outcome.
Identification of the shape of your eyebrows
The very first step that the experts from professional eyebrow threading salons in Pakenham would take involves identification of the ideal eyebrow shape. It is the key to perfecting a well balanced and symmetrical look for the eyebrows and the face as a whole. Factors like natural arch, shape of the face, and above all the personal aesthetic preferences and fashion sense of the recipients play a pivotal role in shaping of the eyebrows. Some of the popular conceptions of types of brows vis-a-vis the shape of the face include:
- Soft and Angled brows – for oval shaped faces
- Rounded Brows – for Heart-shaped faces
- Lifted, angled brows – for round faces
- Soft, almost rounded brows – for square-shaped faces
Trimming and Drawing an outline
The first and foremost step of eyebrow threading is trimming the eyebrows. For that, the professionals will draw an outline. Next, they will maintain that outline to trim your eyebrows so that the true shape of the eyebrows are properly visible.
It is done by using an eyebrow brush, which will help them sweep the eyebrows upwards. Once done, the section of eyebrows are held in place with the help of the brush and trimmed with a pair of scissors. It will help grooming the eyebrows, giving them a neater and more definite shape so much so that threading becomes easier. However, the professionals will not overtrim the brows as it will make threading difficult, due to lack of string grip. The pros will then brush the brows back in their place once the trimming is done.
Preparing the thread
The professionals offering professional eyebrow threading in Pakenham will then prepare the thread for eyebrow threading. They will take a piece of brow threading thread, tying the two ends to form a loop. They will put special emphasis on the knot to see if it is tight, trimming off the loose ends. This will provide a clean loop.
They will position the thread properly
Holding one side of the loop with the thumb and the forefinger, they will place the other thumb and the other forefinger between the thread on the other side. Now they will use one hand for twisting the thread to uproot the hairs.
However, for that they will place the thread properly. For better precision, they will start by positioning the twisted centre of the thread over the eyebrow of their patron right atop the sect of the eyebrow that is to be removed.
Shaping the Brows
Once the first stroke has been done with, they will reposition the twist onto a fresh section of the hair that has to be removed. They will repeat the process and continue till both the eyebrows are done. They will thread the section between the eyebrows as well to give a fuller look.
