How long should i let my eyebrows grow before threading?
As someone who has been threading their eyebrows for years, it’s a question that comes up often. The answer isn’t as simple as you might think – there are a few factors to consider when deciding how long to let your brows grow before getting them threaded.
What is eyebrow threading?
Let’s start with the basics. Eyebrow threading is a method of hair removal where a thin thread is twisted and rolled over the skin, plucking out hairs at the follicle level. It gives precise results and lasts longer than other methods like waxing or tweezing.
Why should I wait before getting my eyebrows threaded?
Threading requires some length on your eyebrow hairs to get good results. If your brow hairs are too short, it can be painful or ineffective. On the other hand, if they’re too long, they may not come out cleanly and could break off instead.
Additionally, frequent threading can lead to an increased risk of ingrown hairs, which can be uncomfortable and unsightly.
So how do you figure out just how long to let them grow? Here are some things to keep in mind:
Your own hair growth cycle
Like any hair on your body (yes even those toes), eyebrow hairs have their own growth cycle: Anagen Phase – Growth phase usually lasting between two-four weeks.
Catagen Phase – Short transitional phase where hair stops growing around ten days
Telogen Phase – Resting phase typically lasting about three months
This means that everyone will have slightly different patterns of regrowth after getting their eyebrows done. Some people may find that they need touch-ups more frequently because their brows grow so quickly, while others might go longer between appointments.
The bottom line: pay attention to your brow growth patterns! You’ll want enough growth so that every single little stubby follicle gets pulled out, but not so much that you’re running to your car crying because it hurts too bad.
Your personal preference
Not everyone likes the same eyebrow style! It ultimately comes down to what makes you feel most confident and sexy as possible . Some people like a more natural look with slightly fuller eyebrows, while others prefer a sharp arch or prefer clean Korean style brows. Whatever look you’re going for – this is something totally in your control.
Just keep in mind: If you are planning on changing up your brow shape OR trying out new trends (bold colored eyebrows all the rage?!?) , let them grow for longer periods of time than usual just incase during struggle city happens.
Eyebrow Shape
If you have naturally bushy brows, it’s important to work with their natural growth pattern instead of fighting against it. Consider if there are any areas where there might be bald spots from over plucking (not judging) – those might need some extra love and patience before good results can happen.
Those without much hair may also face dilemmas — when every last precious hair counts, letting things go wild for months just isn’t an option! In these cases many experts suggest increasing protein intake through diet or supplements which can encourage healthy growth—something we should really invest in anyway given how essential nutrients directly influence our bodily functions including pulling off looking like Dua Lipa at least once in our lifetime!
The End Result
Eyebrows take roughly four-six weeks fully regrow after threading appointments so usually waiting no less then six/seven weeks between appointments allows the hair follicles ample amount of time needed to rejuvenate its strength.
In conclusion, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer to this question; however keeping track of growth patterns combined with professional advice on eyebrow shapes would help greatly towards finding the right timing unique to each individual making sure they always are looking fierce and fabulous.
