    Default Threading vs. Waxing

    After hearing some rave reviews, I decided to finally give threading a try. Today I got my eyebrows threaded. The experience was a success, but it was more painful then I was expecting it would be. D;

    Ladies, and gents (not judging), do you prefer to get your facial hair threaded, waxed, plucked, or do you shave it?

    There is this woman that was my substitute teacher a few times. She would shave all her eyebrows off Whoopi Goldberg style and then draw them on with a Crayola pencil.

    When I was young I thought eyebrow threading involved stitching additional hair into someone's skin

    EWWWW, Huxley!

    I actually have never tried either. I just pluck. I'm probably going to get my eyebrows waxed this weekend though, because I'm becoming progressively worse at plucking my eyebrows, and I also have sneezing fits when I do that.

    I usually pluck, but my one friend knows how to thread and I've watched her to do it AND IT IS THE COOLEST THING EVER. D:

    I do, too, rye. I guess the hairs touch on some nerves or something!

    This threading seems interesting, a massive plucking. No wonder it hurt!

    Absolutely threading!

    I don't think it's too painful. Just stings a little, but not too much worse than plucking. This thread reminds me that I need to go and get my eyesbrows done.

    I've never even heard of threading! I will have to look it up later.

    Recently, I've begun shaving around my eyebrows to shape them. It is one million times better than plucking, and it does the exact same thing. You just have to be careful.

    I've had friends who can get away with shaving their eyebrows off and drawing them on instead (one girl's never grew back!) but I could never do it myself.

    Ew, threading! D:

    I prefer plucking.

    I pluck. I use the anger and pain to fuel my massacres later in the week.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    I never touch my eyebrows. I didn't realize eyebrow grooming was such a common practice o.o

    The only thing I can add to this thread is that I know my mother gets her eyebrows threaded at the mall down the road. It looks smurfing crazy.

    Also, I shave my face. Everything else is gay.

    I don't like shaving, because the hair grows back quicker because you don't get as much of the hair out, and then you look funny. I actually like plucking, and threading just stings. And it's faster than plucking.
