Dos and Don’t While Eyebrow Threading!
1. Don’t Wear Eye Makeup
It is of no use to put on your eye makeup while going for the threading session as your aesthetician will simply wipe it off before the session starts. Besides, if you tend to tear up even a bit while threading your brows, the mascara or the eyeliner or even the kajal will smudge and will be a complete mess. This might lead to an improper threading or might even break the hair instead of pulling it clearly from the roots. So, the next time before going for an appointment remember not to wear any eye makeup!2. Do Choose The Right Salon
Though it may sound obvious to choose the right salon, one must be cautious. Note that not everyone who operates a salon can wield the cotton thread perfectly.
