Bollywood eyebrows are the HOTTEST depilatory fad since the Brazilian bikini line! It has long since become a major craze for salons and high-end spas across the country. Threading is an ancient Indian art of hair removal used to give flawless shape to the eyebrows and a clean look to the face by removing access hair.

It involves rolling and twisting cotton thread over hairlines pulling rows of hair from the root. Unlike tweezing or waxing the process is quick and precise. The beautician will begin by looping the thread around her hands about ten times and then pulling it taut over the area of hair. Her experienced hands will then cast her thread lasso-like around the ‘hairy’ region and remove the hair.

The standard hair threading session can last up to 20 minutes depending on the area you need cleaned. Any desired shape and thickness can be given so be sure to voice your desired look to the skilled beautician.

Like most hair removal methods, threading can be a little painful but no more than waxing and tweezing, and in the end the results are worth it. To alleviate some of the pain place a cool cloth on the skin when you get home and apply light moisturizer to the area.

Your sharp new look should last you about three weeks. Splendid!

Thick in the Right Places

Super skinny brows with high arches have been pushed aside to make room for the full natural looking brow. In other words, the unnatural astonished expression some gals walk around with can finally be laid to rest.

If you were born with sparse brows or went tweeze happy, there is a simple solution to filling in your eyebrows.

 

You’ll need:

Soft Pencil (shade lighter than your brows)

Powder, or eye shadow (Match the shade to the color of your brows)

Brow Brush (Small, angled brush with pointed bristles)

Clear mascara, or clean mascara brush

 

Grooming 101:

Since the pencil tends to stick to the skin, not to the hair, you will lightly shade in the area where the hair should grow using short, feathery strokes. You want to create an appearance of natural hair so avoid making any definite lines. Next, using the brow brush dab some powder along the brows. Be sure to swipe some over the pencil as well blending in the color perfectly. To pull the look together, take the clear mascara and brush eyebrows into place.

 

It’s easier than shooting a fish in a barrel!
