Some people say it's bad cause your eyebrows get thinner or something like that what's your opinion on it?

Nope
It's absolutely better than waxing since it doesn't rip off and tug your skin resulting in premature wrinkles

I so agree! But there's always comments trying to say how bad it is. I prefer it over plucking, waxing, and shaving.

I am a big fan of threading! My skin under my brow used to breakout every time after a wax, but with threading I don't breakout.

Yes so true!! It's much more sanitary and it's cleaner when it comes to the finished look, besides waxing. I just always hear people saying my brows will get thinner but it's not like they're threading your whole brow off.

Traci I had gotten so used to getting my brows waxed, but then after a while I started breaking out and noticed the areas around my brows were white lol. I just recently started getting them threaded and love it! no break outs. it's basically like getting them plucked!

Cindy I'm so glad you found that threading worked better for you. I really try to promote it to friends who haven't tried it because I have yet to find a better way!

Alexis the pain from threading is definitely the worst the first time you get it done, same as waxing in that aspect. But don't worry, the longer you stick to it the less it will hurt over time. The first time I had mine done my eyes watered a bit but now I can go in and get it done with virtually no pain at all since my skin is finally used to it.

I agree with Traci it's hurts like a motherf***er the first time. but then you just get used to it. and it's a bit cheaper than waxing Tbh or at least it was for me cause I was getting them done at ulta. that's 20 bucks right there. threading where I live is like 12 bucks.

I much prefer threading, would never have my eyebrows waxed again.
It's so quick and I feel only a little tugging feeling, not pain.

Actually, I searched several medical journals and found that threading has high instances of fungal, bacterial, and viral infection (particularly if the technician holds the thread in their mouth). It can also cause scarring, permanent nerve damage, and vitiligo (hypopigmentation).
I'd much rather pluck strays with sanitized tweezers than risk permanent damage, especially so close to my eyes.

I don't want to try threading only because I love the feeling of getting my eyebrows waxed lol its so relaxing to me!
