Twenties Economics | Threading
Hello Everyone,
I hope all is well!
In today’s episode we will discuss threading! Particularly for the eyebrows. I know many people are waxing or tweezing folks but I am a threading STAN! I do not care. I do not care. I do not care. Except, when it diminishes my pockets of course. As you all know from my last few episodes I am in a financial predicament due to poor money decisions but I’m learning and growing. However, the predicament has given me some time for reflection and I have realized that threading cost me $17 each session…which is $34 per month without the Lyft drive there and back (since I don’t have a car yet). That totals $408 annually. I swear every time I write an episode I am put into perspective how much money I spent on beauty alone - sheesh!
Anyways, that is why I decided to learn how to do it on my own! I was very scared but no pain, no gain so here I am! So, without further adieu, let’s get into it!
So, What Even Is Threading?
Well, gosh, I am so happy you asked! Threading is an ancient method of hair removal, has been practiced in Southern Asia and the Middle East for centuries. It has only recently gained popularity in the Western world - courtesy of migration. Threading is a technique that uses a thin cotton or polyester thread to twist and pull unwanted hair from the root.
Threading is a popular method of hair removal because it is gentle on the skin and can precisely target individual hairs. The technique is particularly useful for shaping eyebrows, removing hair in small, delicate areas, and for those with sensitive skin. Compared to waxing, which can sometimes remove a thin layer of skin along with hair, threading is a gentler option. The technique is also more precise, making it ideal for removing hair in small areas.
You Ain’t Really Tellin’ Me Any Benefits Though…
Threading has many benefits compared to other hair removal methods. It is a natural and chemical-free hair removal technique, making it an excellent option for those who are allergic to products used in other hair removal methods. Threading is also a cost-effective hair removal option as it requires minimal equipment and supplies.
One of the best things about threading is that it is easy to learn, and you can do it yourself at home. Learning threading on your own can be beneficial because it allows you to control the process and avoid any potential irritations that may occur in a salon. With practice, threading can become a quick and easy method of hair removal. Just like tweezing!
I’ll Probably Still Go to My Main Waxer…But I Might Try It In The Future
I completely understand but for the people who are like are me here are a few tutorials as well as a link to the thread and Aloe Vera (for soothing). I recommend washing your face prior and after this.
