Threading, Threading and more Threading....

So I’ve decided that my first inaugural post since publishing this blog will be about my absolute tried and true hair removal technique: threading!!! If you are one who has ever wondered how to achieve that razor sharp, perfect eyebrow arch without risking the botox shot to the wrong muscle look or that dang I sneezed when the razor was still moving look, then threading is the way you need to go.

Threading is an ancient, eastern hair removal technique. I mean if we are all about vintage clothing, why not be about vintage beauty techniques as well. Some say threading originated in India (my belief as well); others will list other Middle Easter countries, nonetheless, this technique has well passed the “up and coming trend” here in the US. Celebrities like Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez, Kim Kardashian, and dang it Oprah are sworn threaders, you should be too!

The Technique:
The actual process of threading requires a SKILLED threading practitioner. Before going on, I cannot stress that enough – eyebrows you all will learn are my favorite body part, yet can be so easily messed up with a long lasting impact. I mean how many have accidentally had too much taken off? That super thin, do you have alopecia look that will last at least a month. It’s not worth it and definitely not Radiant, so let’s always keep it professional. That being said, the process includes use of 100% cotton thread which is rolled and twisted along the surface of the skin entwining hairs and lifting them from the follicle one by one, talk about precise! In terms of pain, I personally believe it’s not much different in comparison to waxing (just a little longer), but it is all-natural so none of the weird, red eyes funny business afterwards. In fact, threading is highly recommended for those using prescription acne treatments such as Retin-A and Accutane. When your hair re-grows it will come in finer and sparser than before. Additionally there is a reduction of in-grown hairs.

Pros and Cons: I am obviously biased, but for the objective at heart here’s my attempt at a balanced perspective of this super hot and **Radiant** trend:
PROS:
• It’s all natural – not likely to have an allergic reaction here
• Less expensive – so on a personal note my first introduction to threading came from my desire to stay Radiant yet frugal when I moved to Atlanta for college, I always manage to stay within the $4 - $10 range
• More precise
• Shaped to the natural curve of your eyebrow – or – achieve other desired eyebrow shapes

CONS:
• Where can I find a place near me?

So there you have it folks, the uber Radiant beauty technique for those fabulous eyebrows. Let me know if there is anything else I can include to make this more **Radiant!!!!**
