Thread that Lip Hair Away
Women don’t want all that hair
in places other than on their head! With either heredity
or age, the ladies are bound to get a moustache on their
upper lip and it’s never ever welcomed. First there
was shaving, and then came the plethora of creams, lotions
and potions to remove hair, then there was waxing, and
even electrolysis. Now gals, there’s yet another
method you may choose to rid that unwanted stache on
your upper lip. It’s called Threading.
Threading is done at salons or can also
be done at home. The process removes the fine and fuzzy
hair right from the root. If it sounds painful, consider
the options. If you shave your lip, it’ll come
back stubbly, eventually like a man. What wants that?
If you use a cream, you’re subjecting yourself
to chemical reactions and it doesn’t rid the hair
at the root, so it’ll likely just grow back faster
and thicker. If you’ve ever had your lip waxed,
ripping that sucker off hurts too. Not to mention the
bright red upper lip for hours and the small beady blisters
for a week. Ick. Ever try plucking your hairs out? Ouch
is right! You could bleach that hair, but then you’ll
just have a lighter colored moustache. Every method
has its drawbacks.
Many women say the best method of hair
removal from the upper lip is threading. One of the
benefits is that you don’t have to wait for hair
to grow a certain length. The concept is that you’re
going to get the hair twisted and spun into the thread
and thusly yanking, gently yanking it off your face.
It might be difficult for you to visualize the procedure,
so you may want to have it done in a salon first if
you’re not getting the full gist of what needs
to happen.
To start take about 24 inches of thread
length. Yes, the sewing thread, any kind, nothing special
so long as you use a good quality, strong thread. Take
both ends and tie them, together in a knot. You’ll
have a circle of thread when you’re done tying
the ends together. Next hold the thread with both hands
and wind them around (loop around) your hands about
ten times. Then place the thread around the fingers
of both hands. Push the part that is wound up towards
one hand by widening the fingers of one hand and at
the same time closing the fingers of the other hand.
Use an alternating “open/close” motion with
opposite hands.
By opening the fingers of the closed
hand and closing the fingers of the other hand, you’re
pushing the wound portion in the other direction. It
will take some practice. Keep pushing the wound up portion
back and forth until you are able to push it back and
forth easily. Once you have the hang of it, you might
be ready to start practicing on a body part. Don’t
use the upper lip as a practice point. Try the leg or
some other body part that is easily accessible.
Begin by placing the thread on the portion
of your leg or elsewhere that you are going to first
try. Place the wound part on one end of the hair, and
the thread from the other side should be on both sides
of the hair you want to remove. Next, move the wound
portion to the other side, making sure that it catches
the hair while moving. It will then lift the hair from
the root as it moves back and forth.
After you’ve practiced this method
and are fairly comfortable with it, move onto your upper
lip. It’ll be quick and easy, taking only a couple
of minutes every other day. How wonderful will it be
to always have a hairless lip!
If all else fails, you may not be an
expert threader, but you will at least know what someone
is talking about next time they mention threading and
they’re not referring to cross-stitching!
