In both hands, hold the thread in all your fingers and thumbs. Then open your hands so that the circle will be converted into a rectangle in your hands.

Now you are expected to twist the thread about 10 times in the middle, so that it appears like a X, with the twisted part in the middle.

Initially, you may find it a little bit difficult, but you should practice pushing the twisted portion of the thread to the right by extending the fingers and thumb of your left hand while closing the fingers to the thumb of your right hand. Then try it other way. As you are required to do it both ways, practice pushing the twisted portion to the left by extending the fingers and thumb of your right hand while closing the fingers to the thumb of your left hand. A little bit of practice can make it easy.

Keeping in mind which hair should be removed, place the twisted portion of the thread on the skin, just to the side of the hair you want to remove. Now you are supposed to move your hands skillfully. Gently roll the twisted portion along the skin from side to side entwining the unwanted hair, either to the right or to the left whichever way you feel more comfortable, by doing what we learned in the previous steps. Try to capture the hair in the twisted portion and then simply pull. They can thus be quickly lifted from the follicles.

It is always safe to start with the hair in between both eyebrows. You can then move on to the top and then to the bottom. You should take care while removing the hair from the bottom line of the eyebrow as this area is the most sensitive area. The eyebrow shapes will depend upon the original natural shape and the overall shape and size of the face. Read more on eyebrow shaping tips.

You may cut down the length of some of the hair with a pair of scissors, if there is no need of removing them from the follicles.

At the end, do not forget to apply a toner directly on the skin to close the pores, which are left open by the removal of hair from the follicles. This will prevent the skin from drying and will give a soothing effect too.

The above procedure clearly indicates that threading eyebrows is a very simple and easy method to shape your eyebrows. Let us now compare eyebrow threading with waxing.
