I'm usually a nails girl, but a few months ago I booked myself into Capital Hair and Beauty's Eyebrow Threading and Shaping course (http://www.capitalhairandbeauty.co.uk training cost at time of this blog publish was £99). Not only was the trainer excellent but I also greatly enjoyed learning a new skill and am now able to thread both mine and my friends/family's brows!
You know I love a good list! So, today I thought I'd simply share the essentials I pack in my threading kit;
Vanity Threading Thread - £2.00 ex VAT from Capital, also available on eBay etc...
This is a 300 metre antibacterial thick white cotton, perfect for create a sturdy loop and coil for threading
Small Ruler - I use the Twist 'n Flex approx £2.00 from Amazon
Having a ruler is essential for beginners like me. This enables me to quickly map out the key eyebrow points on my clients; such as where the eyebrow should begin/end and where the arch should be
Disposable Mascara Brushes - £1.99 ex VAT from Capital
Great little tools for brushing brows up/down to enable a clear path for threading strays and avoiding the hairs you want to keep. A simple spool will of course work, however disposable is essential to ensure good hygiene practices if you are threading multiple clients
Marvelbrow Twizzor - £7.95 ex VAT from Capital
Fantastic little scissors which are sharp and precise for trimming longer hairs if required
Marvelbrow Prep & Prime plus Soothing Balm - £5.95 each ex VAT from Capital
These products were used in the training course and are great for threading as well as waxing or tweezing. The Prep & Prime is rosewater based therefore the anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties are great in preparation for threading, whereas the Soothing Blam both cools and clams with chamomile and aloe vera to again provide anti-inflammatory and antibacterial plus redness reducing
I'm not sponsored by Capital or Marvelbrow, but can honestly say all the above products were great in both training and in practice. I use these on myself and friends/family and look forward to continuing my beauty journey and getting better and better with practice.
If you have any threading tips be sure to comment below. Also, I was thinking to write a post to share the tips and tricks we were taught in the course on how to measure up your brows to find the perfect shape, if you'd be interested let me know!?
