Eyebrow Threading

Written by Juliet Cohen Wednesday, 30 January 2013 15:27

Eyebrow threading is a Chinese technique. The eyelid is stretched to make the hair removal easy. Eyebrow threading is a depilation technique, which originated in India, although it is also widely practiced in the Middle East. The hair removal technique is not just for the eyebrows: threading can be used to remove other facial and body hair as well. Eyebrow threading involves twisting a piece of thread, usually cotton, into a double strand. Eyebrow threading can be used to eliminate a unibrow, raise the arch of the eyebrow, or add shape and definition to the brow. Because it removes hair by the follicle, it is a reasonably long lasting hair removal technique as well. If done correctly, the skin should not be red or irritated for more than a few minutes after the eyebrow threading session.

When it feels like there are too many wicked people in this world, you have to remind yourself, there are many more kind people out there doing nice things. I don’t want to be discouraged when I hear about burglaries and break-ins…I want to think that in general, people want to be good to one another…that good triumphs over evil.

My mom, sister and I all have our birthdays close together. This year my sister wanted to share our birthday celebration by doing Random Acts of Kindness. We’re making a list, and spending an entire day doing unexpected nice things for other people. Hopefully those people will do nice things for other people, and acts of kindness will continue to grow all around us.
