How To Thread Hair

Today, I'm going to show you how to wind your thread to do an open lip threading treatment. Okay, so your thread, if you're going to do it using your mouth, you just take your ring of cotton, put the loose ends into thumbs and hold it into your teeth. Using the hand that you write with, make an L shape and then, twist your hand around six times.

This should give you a T shape, and if we look at this area here, this small V, so when you move your head back, the V will get smaller. Any hairs that are trapped in this V area will be removed. It is really important that when you do an upper lip wax, that you don't take off too much hair in one go.

Work in really small sections and never go over the lip itself. If you take off too much in one go, it can be really, really uncomfortable for your clients, so work, as I say, in tiny sections. When you're threading an upper lip, it's so important that your client stretches the skin.

Again, it makes it a little bit more comfortable to them and if they don't stretch the skin, it is quite likely to catch and pull the skin and sometimes even cut it. So, the best sort of stretches, when you're going the sides of the lips, is to ask your clients to push their tongue to that area like so. When you're doing the sensor area of the lip, ask your clients just to take their upper lip under their teeth like that.

By doing that, your clients are just going to have a more comfortable experience while you're threading their lip. Once you're finished, apply a cooling gel or an after wax lotion just to take the sting away. .
