Threading Over Waxing

Eyebrow threading is one of the most popular methods for safe hair removal which is why I love it. Who wouldn't want a 100% cotton thread removing their eyebrow or lip hair? It's believable that waxing isn't the best choice to remove facial hair because it is harsh on sensitive skin and can cause chemical burns and skin damage. One of the benefits of threading is that there is little contact to the skin so there is no skin damage. The process of eyebrow threading is quick, less painful and lasts longer. For a girl who has the lightest eyebrows growing up, waxing wasn't the best choice. Instead of crying while plucking each hair out one by one, threading grabs one line of hair removing it instantly. If you want that 'eyebrows on fleek caption,' you can count on threading to create that attractive arch and shape. Eyebrows can change the entire way your face looks.

There are no dangerous chemicals while getting brows threaded. Waxing can cause reactions and irritations. Threading will protect your skin from being raw, red or even inflamed. For people with sensitive skin or those who suffer from acne, believe it is a better alternative. Threading is also more sanitary, and you can be sure that your thread has not been used on anyone else. For waxing, there is a high chance of double dipping which can lead to a skin infection. Threading is much kinder to the skin and is less painful than other methods of hair removal.

Threading lifts the hair from the follicle and weakens the follicle so hair growth becomes less dense over time and new hair will grow finer and sparser. Threading is free of any chemicals. All it needs is a pure 100%, strong, and good quality, cotton thread. It removes facial hair effectively. It is especially preferred for eyebrows, lip, sideburns, chin, neck and fingers. Unlike the waxing or sugaring method, threading is simple and is not messy. There is no wax or sugar syrup to melt and apply and no pain while pulling out the hair.

With waxing, you must wait until hair is a certain length before you can remove it, which for many clients means an unruly brow between treatments. In the case of facial hair, threading is once more precise with longer lasting results. You must let the hair grow to a certain length because it often means unwanted hair growth between treatments. Threading is definitely better than waxing and saves you from discomfort.

Threading is an inexpensive method which takes no more than 15 minutes. I feel like a new person whenever I get them done and I love the arch. You might not be able to get them done in all nail salons, but definitely at the mall or somewhere nearby.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
