Threading men's eyebrows involves carefully shaping them by using a twisted thread to pluck hairs, focusing primarily on cleaning up stray hairs and maintaining a natural shape. The technique requires precision to avoid over-thinning the brows, especially important for men's generally thicker and more angular brow shapes.
Steps for Threading Men's Eyebrows
While the reference video does not provide a full tutorial, we can combine information from it along with general best practices to outline the process:
-
Preparation: Ensure the client's skin is clean and dry. You may use a mild cleanser to remove any oils or dirt.
-
Stretching the Skin: According to the video, the skin must be stretched tightly to make the process more effective. The person whose eyebrows are being threaded should hold their skin taut for best results.
-
Identifying Stray Hairs: Determine the areas where stray hairs exist around the natural brow shape. The goal is usually to remove hairs that fall outside the natural brow line, under the brow, and between the brows.
-
Threading Technique:
- Hold one end of the twisted thread in each hand.
- Move the thread with quick, precise movements over the hair you want to remove.
- The thread will grip and pull the hair from the follicle.
- Focus on small sections at a time for better control.
-
Focusing on the Bottom of the Brow: As the video suggests, threading typically starts on the bottom of the brows to clear away the hair that is not part of the natural arch.
-
Maintaining a Masculine Shape: Men's eyebrows are typically fuller and straighter than women's, so focus on removing stray hairs while preserving a natural and masculine shape. Avoid over-thinning, which can look unnatural.
-
Post-Threading Care: After threading, apply a soothing lotion or aloe vera to the area to calm any irritation and prevent redness.
Key Considerations for Men's Eyebrows
- Natural Look: The goal is to enhance natural brow shape, not create an artificial or overly manicured appearance.
- Minimal Shaping: Avoid drastic changes to brow thickness or arch; subtle changes are usually best.
- Consultation: Always consult with the client to understand their preferences and avoid over-threading.
