Different parts of the body have different sensitivity, so areas with more delicate skin—the sides of the face, or above the lip—might feel more painful. Be hairy! The more hair the better, says Tummala. Also, just as you would bring a picture of a haircut you like, you can bring an image of perfect brows to inspire your specialist. Hair regrowth can vary from person to person but Tummala recommends between every two to five weeks.
Since threading removes hair from the root like waxing, it lasts just as long. You can Threading your chin or lip is easier but your eyebrows are a whole new ball game. But if waxing is a 10 on the pain scale, threading hovers somewhere around an eight, which is still more ideal, especially since there was none of that post-wax plucking that used to make me want to punch walls. Weirdly, my left eyebrow was noticeably more painful than my right, though it's apparently normal, according to Tummala.
Thankfully, the entire thing was over within a cool five minutes, and before the sting could set in, my aesthetician was smoothing a calming rose gel and some hydrocortisone cream over my brows and sending me on my way.
It was seriously that fast and simple, with minimal redness—a rare feat for my insanely sensitive and reactive skin. Apparently, not ripping off a layer of your skin helps? Who woulda thunk. I then had to admit to Tummala one of the other reasons I had been hesitant about trying threading: I had heard it was unsanitary, and that you could get infection. Where I heard this?
No idea; it was just one of those things. And I can honestly verify that my threading experience was way cleaner than any other beauty treatment I've ever tested, including waxing. Like, I almost can't explain how semi-crazy I feel for not having threaded my brows for decades, especially considering how sensitive and reactive my skin is.
