Threading
i have really sensitive skin and it doesn't matter how i removed the hair i ALWAYS got razor burn. i tried plucking, but lets face it, for more "personal area" that can be dang painful!!!!
i tried the waxing, nair, and plucking of the upper lip and anywhere under my nose hurt really bad!
i do have good news for you however, i see that most of you haven't heard of, or know much about threading. ITS AWESOME
you do NOT have to go to a professional to do it either, its something that you can do yourself at home.
what you need is 100% cotton thread ( i went searching through my b/fs grandmother's sewing room and found enough to last a life time!!!
)
you need a piece of thread that is about 14-16 inches long, put the ends together and tie it so you have a HUGE loop. put BOTH your index fingers into this loop and pull until both pieces are parallel from each other.
bend ONE of your fingers so that your holding onto the thread, with the other hand, spin the thread around your finger so that your putting twists into the thread, you only have to do this about 8 times. now you have what looks like a very LONG 8 between your fingers.
now you put your fingers and thumbs into both ends so that you can make a scissoring action. if your doing this right, the twist in the middle will go back and forth. this is a good sign! this means that this long winded explanation is working!!!!
you want to hold this up against your skin lightly not so the thread is making a huge indent in your skin.
the scissoring is important, you will be making this motion to remove the hair. get the hair caught in the twist, and pull the twist so that the hair is removed.
i will not lie, this does take sometime to learn, but if done correctly, it will remove the hair from the root. basically if you can feel the hair with your finger tip, you can remove it with this method. it will eventually damage the hair shaft and hair will not grow back over time. you can even get those thin blond hairs that are hard to remove with epilators or that break using tweezers. BTW it doesn't hurt nearly as much as plucking, waxing or sugaring.... and you can remove more then one hair at a time.
i've even used it on my bikini line and LOVE the results... won't lie, some areas are sensitive, but it won't sent you screaming into the woods!!!
its cheap to do, and the best part is that the cotton thread is biodegradable
: oh not to mention that you can do it in the car on long trips if your the passenger like me!!!!!
by chance that my instructions were not good enough, look it up for yourself on youtube!!!
