6 Reasons Why Threading Is Definitely Better Than Waxing

OK, ladies, if you're the kind of girl that gets her eyebrows done, I'm sure you're familiar with the whole "threading vs. waxing" debate. Typically you're either on one side or the other, and one thing I've noticed is that so many girls are afraid of threading because "it hurts"... well OK, honey, it's not supposed to feel good - they're literally ripping hairs out of your face. But, besides that fact, here are six reasons why threading is just so much better than waxing:

1. They Look So Much More Natural

My biggest reason I absolutely love getting my eyebrows threaded is because they look so much more natural. That's just it. Not to say that waxing "doesn't look natural," I just prefer to keep all of my skin layers on my face when getting my eyebrows done and avoid caking a couple extra layers of foundation around my eyebrows to keep everything even. Sorry, but not really.

2. The Redness Doesn't Last 15 Hours

Of course, I'm exaggerating a little bit when I say that the redness after waxing your eyebrows lasts 15 hours, but it sure doesn't last just one. I personally have incredibly pale and sensitive skin, so the majority of the time if you even touch my face, i'll get red. I'm sure some of you out there know my struggle. But, one of my favorite things about threading is that the redness only lasts an hour or so, two at most. You can go get yo eyebrows done, go home, get ready, and be ready for the club in less time than it sometimes takes us ladies to pick out an outfit.

3. It's so, so quick

Every single time I go to get my eyebrows threaded, I have been in an out of there in less than 5 minutes. If you're the kind of person who gets super picky about your eyebrows, then maybe you'll spend 10 minutes in that salon, but come on, it takes you longer to take a dump.

4. Threading Lasts Way Longer

Comparing the usual 2 weeks it takes after waxing before you have to go back and get them waxed again, threading lasts anywhere from 3-5 weeks, and if that doesn't sell ya then I'm not sure what will.

5. You Don't Have To Worry About Chemicals

For you girls with sensitive skin like me, some of us struggle with having adverse reactions to wax on occasion - what a bummer! Threading is great because the only necessity is cotton thread and that's it!

6. It Really Doesn't Hurt That Bad

Last but not least - the famous "well I've heard that it hurts so bad, so I'm not going to try it," excuse. Of course, it doesn't feel great, they're ripping hairs out of your face. Yet, I don't understand this because you're literally doing the same thing when it comes to waxing.

I stand by the saying "don't knock it 'til you try it," and I feel that this is definitely a debate that falls into that category! It's OK to be a little nervous when trying something new, but don't be afraid of it — once you try it, you may never want to wax again!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
