I love learning new stuff. I love seeing myself become pretty good at new stuff. And I love continuing doing what I love. To cut a long story short, I learned something new today. Something that I have never thought I’d do.
I learned to thread. Yes, I learned to do self threading. I did my eye-brows and upper lips myself today. In-fact just now. I’m so ecstatic that I even took pictures of the finished brows to post. Such is my blog-o-holic-ness.
This is how it turned out. Excuse my oily and non-madeup face (rather forehead). Its bed time ![]()

My threaded eye brows
I know I still have to learn shaping and stuff, but I removed the extra hair pretty easily, like in 30 minutes
I’m so proud of myself right now.
The reason I thought of going for a self-threading is the ridiculousness of parlor prices. Eye-brows cost me 30 Rs. while upper lip alone costs me 20 Rs. Isn’t it too much? I almost had a cardiac arrest when the last time I got a banana facial done, she charged me 600 Rs. And it is not even a reputed salon, just a road corner parlor. This was a year back.
So now I do my own waxing, threading and facial too. I guess I can open a beauty parlor. Only problem is that others’ hair grosses me out.
Now, makes me think if I can give myself a haircut too. Why not?
WAH! Me thinks I mite never get arnd to dng it myself
I might grant myself a break every 30 sec
Oh I did take breaks, initially for every 30 second and later for every 5 minutes
I was really pushed into it by the rising prices
wow!! I have seen women do it here too because threading is very expensive and rare here!
I don’t think I could ever do it.. I don’t have steady hands and I can’t see without my sepcs!!
I totally admire you for your new talent!
Thanks Pix. I hope I have the patience to continue. It requires a lot of it and concentration too. I have steady hands alright
