This is what you want to know about threading

Swish, swish, swish. I used to see it sometimes with an aunt or a friend of my mother. In rapid tempo, the thread was flashed along the face and a cloud of small hairs flew into the air. The most beautiful eyebrows were conjured up and I was just fiddling with that tweezers. I am a person with blessed eyebrows. The shape is good, I don't look like loose game if I forget it for a week and the result remains end-less. That's why I quickly turned to the pros, from an eyebrow whisperer to the beautician. They were waxed and plucked and it turned red and I got a trillion blisters. No exception. That's why I carefully planned those sessions, so I could hide for two days until the suffering was gone. Really, Pipo the Clown is average in comparison.

 “I have never been in the chair of an eyebrow lady for such a short time”

Marie-José, you know, from the delicious salon MJ Amsterdam on IJburg, gave me a tip. Let it be threaded once. I was up for that and I immediately subjected threading specialist Jessica to an interrogation for you. Between the flashes of the threads, I managed to extract the best know-how about the technique from her.

1. The fine hairs

During plucking, the small hairs are skipped. That's okay, because you see them less well, but with threading, those are included.

2. Pipo the Clown

If you react strongly to plucking or waxing, then threading is the solution. I had one restless spot and nothing else, zip, nada. After a waxing session, I always had to cool down diva-style with a towel or apply Nestosyl. But now my skin remained incredibly tranquilo.

3. Tight result

Because you are not messing around with warm wax or forgetting the small hairs with the tweezers, you get an extremely tight result.

4. Supersonic

How fast it goes. I have never been in the chair of an eyebrow lady for such a short time. And when you're done, you can just go to the office, no avoiding people. I find it super-efficient.

5. Hygienic

Also not unimportant. That tweezers has seen thousands of eyebrows, just like the spatula for applying the wax. The threads for threading are brand new and then go straight into the trash.

 
Threading is suitable for fine facial hair, so those fine hairs on the cheek can also be included. And for the rest of the body, this is the solution, just read.
