I&#39;m not talking about the act of creating threads like in forums and such..but a &quot;mystical&quot; form of eyebrow shaping. Many of you may know it but it seems like 90% of the people in my life that I mention it to look at me like I just spat out a word like googlymonwich. So for those 90% of you that are reading this and are still confused i suppose I could delve a little into what it is. I&#39;m not sure on the specifics of where it started and all that, but i usually get it done by Indian women. So its an alternative to eyebrow waxing without all the hot wax, you simply need a long piece of thread. I dont even think it is any special type of thread..perhaps in the threading world there are different thread diameters but to me, it&#39;s just one long piece of thread. So the &quot;threader&quot; bits onto one end of the thread and keeps it bitten throughout out the process...and with the remainder of the thread she creates kind of like a scissor with which hair is plucked out. A good time for a visual perhaps....<div> <div at:enclosure="asset" at:xid="6a00f48d0edb36000100f48d0edd640001" at:format="medium" at:align="center" class="enclosure enclosure-center enclosure-medium photo-enclosure" style="text-align: center;"> <div class="enclosure-inner" style="padding: 9px; border: 1px solid; width: px; margin: 10px auto;" > <div class="enclosure-list"> <div class="enclosure-item photo-asset last"> <div class="enclosure-image"> <a href="http://lhanze.vox.com/library/photo/6a00f48d0edb36000100f48d0edd640001.html"><img src="http://a4.vox.com/6a00f48d0edb36000100f48d0edd640001-200pi" alt="Threading1" title="Threading1" /></a> </div> <div class="enclosure-meta"> <div class="enclosure-asset-name"><a href="http://lhanze.vox.com/library/photo/6a00f48d0edb36000100f48d0edd640001.html" title="Threading1">Threading1</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div><!-- end enclosure --> </div><div>I feel like its a lot more precise than just waxing and hoping that the shape comes out right. This way you can control each strand of hair somewhat.&#160;</div><div>The reason i bring it up is because everytime i go get a threading..i always feel like it loooks horrible and I have even cried at times when i see my reflection. I&#39;ve always had a thing about looking too made up and fake. So today I went and I almost felt like crying because I felt that she made it too thin and I looked like a 70 year old trying to look young and hip. But i got over it and after a good comforting from a friend, I felt okay to brave the world with my freshly threaded eyebrow hair. Now, several hours later, I love it! I dont know why I go through this everytime, the rollercoaster of emotions. Isn&#39;t it funny that I know its going to be okay but almost am conditioned to respond differently.&#160;</div></p> <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://lhanze.vox.com/library/post/an-ode-to-threading.html?_c=feed-rss-full#comments">Read and post comments</a> | <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00f48d0edb36000100f48cf030000003?_c=feed-rss-full">Send to a friend</a> </p> http://lhanze.vox.com/library/post/a-fresh-start.html?_c=feed-rss-full nobody@vox.com(Jigmey) http://lhanze.vox.com/library/post/a-fresh-start.html?_c=feed-rss-full http://lhanze.vox.com/library/post/a-fresh-start.html?_c=feed-rss-full Sat, 19 Apr 2008 22:03:47 -0700 <p>So i set out myself to find out what the craze for blogging is and after looking at a billion different hosts..i&#39;m here and I think this is going to be good for me!&#160;<div><br /></div></p> <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://lhanze.vox.com/library/post/a-fresh-start.html?_c=feed-rss-full#comments">Read and post comments</a> | <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00f48d0edb36000100e398f1c3ec0005?_c=feed-rss-full">Send to a friend</a> </p>
