My Eyebrow Threading Tutorial

hi everyone it's Alexandra today I'm going to teach you exactly how to thread your own eyebrows this is a fundamental and a foundation in Beauty because it is expensive to have to pay into an eyebrow Salon or just a salon a Med Spot whever you get your brows done if you got to do that every single time the hair grows you can do this also for the hair on your upper lip around the chin just like your favorite pair of tweezers This Thread mechanism is as powerful it's actually pulling out the hairs from the root just like a good pair of tweezers now the most important thing here for me is that I'm able to do this as much and as often as I want when you have knowledge of how to do this you can do this as often as you like every morning anytime the hair grows back there's never a cost barrier in terms of if you can look polished or not if you already know how to do this but you want to stick around do that because I'm going to go through some of the troubleshooting tips some of you have done this at home and it went really well but then you got a few little bumps around the area where you did your threading we're going to go through the tips that just prevent that so that it never happens you should be able to have this on Lock and there's a few things you need to know so let's get started first things first what kind of thread do we use we use sewing thread this isn't like a beauty industry product it's nothing branded and in fact you might have a sewing kit at home or something in your drawer that just has a little bit of thread wound up you could use that now the first step is clean hands and a clean environment and then finally and perhaps perhaps most important clean face no matter whether you're wearing makeup or not always make sure that when you do this because there will be times you want to do this and just touch up real quick but make sure every time that you thread your eyebrows or anywhere on your face for that matter make sure it's always after you've just cleans your skin even if you're not wearing makeup that is because we can't always see what's there but there's often environmental factors that have laid their bacteria onto our skin dust pollution all types of things and so some of these are the reasons why when somebody is going to use thread they then find that they break out and they think okay this is just part of it it's not part of it it doesn't have to be part of it so make sure everything including your hands is clean now with your Clean Skin make sure you don't add any moisturizer at least where you're going to be threading if you feel uncomfortable add it to your cheeks or your forehead just avoid the brow area if you're going to do your upper lip make sure you're not adding moisture because that slip that it adds to the skin and that moisture that it adds to the hairs itself makes it kind of hard for the the thread to pick up and pull the hair out by the root it doesn't make it impossible but I want you to have the best experience now it's time to create our thread mechanism this is easy we take some of this thread and tie it in a knot it's probably a universal rule of thumb that the length of your circle should be around the length of your face and you might want to tie this with a double knot you know when somebody's making a hand gesture that's like you're talking but you're really saying nothing we're going to be doing that exact hand motion or another way that you could look at this is like a teeter totter you open one and then the other ones closed then it opens and the other one closes du du and this open and the other one close is the exact motion that gets the thread moving along the skin pulling up hairs from the root some of you want to know does it hurt to do this on your brows does it hurt to do it on your cheeks your chin your upper lip a little bit kind of this is not overly painful so I think we just have to suck it up you're going to be fine if you're just about to start your period it's going to hurt a lot okay so the best timing to do this is after your period when I first wanted to learn how to get comfortable doing this what I would do is I didn't even look in the mirror I would just thread my cheeks without looking in the mirror just to train myself and just getting used to the feeling once you get the hand motion down your first question is probably the same as mine where exactly is the thread going that is what I started to wonder immediately when I started doing this myself how do you know where to send that little thread the thread that's removing the hair how do you know to angle it so that it removes exactly the hairs that you want to remove and it doesn't end up uprooting your entire eyebrow uh that wouldn't be good but it is not an unpredictable thread it's not something that we don't know where it's headed actually the top thread This Thread is the one wherever it's placed is where the thread is headed so this one is the one you want to keep your eye on now the wonderful thing about removing hair from your upper lip it's that you never need to keep one in all the years that I threaded my upper lip it has never been that I was like oh wait not that hair I want to keep that one there's never a hair there that I want to keep but with the eyebrows there's lots of hairs we both want to keep in order to do that perfectly you may want to make marks with little eyeliner pen and that can serve as a visual guide so that you thread your brows into a shape that you can get on board with but I think generally speaking if you and I do this the same way we're going to use this as a touch-up method for those of you who are going to start doing this for good I'm honored to be able to teach you so thank you for watching this far into the video this is also a good time to ask you to like And subscribe to my channel this is something where unlike tweezers you're less likely to overshoot it I don't know what it is about threading it just produces a better more controlled outcome there's something about tweezers where as a tool you've really got to be on your game otherwise you might overshoot it and remove too much hair if you have picked up your phone while you doing this and your fingertips have touched the surface of your phone make sure you wash your hands again before you go back to your face this is important these are the details that will keep your skin clear even when you're threading your skin even when you're bleaching your brows the more diligent that you are you will see it pay off with clear skin all the time once you finished threading your brows that's really exciting you can probably do this to touch them up and keep them in the shape that you like forever you can also add a little bit of aloe vera gel just like they do at the brow Salon this is Cooling and relaxing I know some of you might follow this tutorial thread your own brows and it goes really great but you notice that you have a little bit of slipping this would almost feel as though you wish you had more grip for those of you who experienced that you can use a baby powder little touch of this or if you don't have a baby powder that you like corn starch or you could use a makeup powder like this just make sure whatever it is that you apply this with it's not a dirty makeup sponge and it's not a dirty makeup brush some of you have been watching my videos lately I've been mentioning hypochloric acid this is something that kills bacteria and yet it is calming even soothing on the skin which is like super cool I find that this has a lot of applications using this with a little Spritz over the face before or even after I thread that makes a lot of sense to me like I said in the beginning threading your brows is going to be one of the most coste effective Beauty practices that you adapt into your routine I really hope that you enjoyed this video if you found this video helpful if you enjoyed it
