When choosing the perfect<br />
eyebrow colouring, Shavata<br />
suggests opting for two shades<br />
darker than your hair colour for<br />
optimum results.<br />
<strong>Eye</strong><br />
on the facts<br />
<strong>Eye</strong>brow threading<br />
n Threading is an increasingly popular,<br />
natural and precision way to remove<br />
unwanted hair from the brows<br />
n Thread is twisted and rolled along the<br />
surface of the skin, entwining the<br />
hairs and removing them at the root<br />
n It’s considered less painful than other<br />
shaping methods as it targets<br />
individual hairs with minimum<br />
skin irritation<br />
What is eye brow<br />
threading?<br />
It’s a hair removal technique<br />
using a cotton thread that is<br />
manipulated in a way that pulls<br />
hair out from the root.<br />
depending on the technician<br />
this can be done in a very<br />
precise, clean manner.<br />
Where did it originate<br />
from?<br />
<strong>Eye</strong>brow threading originated<br />
in India, hundreds of years ago.<br />
Is it better than other<br />
methods?<br />
It’s pure preference. The<br />
results are the same as waxing<br />
and tweezing in that hairs<br />
are pulled from root. It just<br />
depends what you prefer, that’s<br />
why we offer all services at the<br />
Brow Studio.<br />
Can it be done at home?<br />
unfortunately not, unless you<br />
know how to manipulate the<br />
thread in the correct way!<br />
<strong>Eye</strong>brow masterclass – the<br />
do’s and don’t of shaping<br />
n Always pluck in natural light, and only<br />
little by little – this will help to ensure<br />
that you don’t go overboard<br />
n Never pluck above the brow - this is<br />
your natural shape and tweezing this<br />
area will mean it never grows back<br />
the same<br />
n Use a hand mirror and a big mirror<br />
when shaping eyebrows – the hand<br />
mirror for close up plucking, and the<br />
large one to check that your brows<br />
are even<br />
