One of the most common questions we hear at Threading Station in East Grinstead is how often should I come back for my eyebrows? The answer varies from person to person, but there are some general guidelines that can help.
The average recommendation
If you're new to threading, it's helpful to understand how it compares to other methods like waxing.
Most clients find that eyebrow threading every 3 to 4 weeks keeps their brows looking their best. This gives enough time for the hair to grow back to a length that can be effectively threaded, while not leaving it so long that the shape becomes undefined.
Factors that affect how often you need threading
Hair growth rate varies significantly between individuals. Some clients need threading every 2 weeks, while others can comfortably go 6 weeks between appointments. Your hair growth is largely determined by genetics, but factors like diet, hormones and stress can also play a role.
Signs it's time for a re-thread:
- Stray hairs are appearing outside your brow shape
- The arch is starting to lose definition
- You're filling in more than usual with brow pencil
- The area between your brows is growing back
Tips to maintain your brows between appointments:
- Use a spoolie brush daily to keep brow hairs in place
- Avoid tweezing between appointments and let us keep the shape consistent
- Moisturise the brow area to keep skin healthy
- Use a clear brow gel to set the hairs
