A Quick Overview of Steps That You Need to Follow to Do Upper Lips Threading

Here are a few important steps that you need to follow while doing threading at home. In the early stage, it might be difficult for you but with hard work, patience and practice you can do it at home just like a professional salon expert.

Step 1

• First of all, you should take a thread of around 30cm. It’s always recommended to use a high-quality thread that’s strong enough, and shouldn’t break during the threading process.  If you’re a beginner then you may face some sort of difficulty while using the thread. The idea & experience matter a lot, you should be well-aware of the length of thread that works best. In some cases, people choose cotton thread spools for threading purposes.

Step 2

• Now it’s time to hold both ends of the thread in between your fingers and knot them tightly together in order to make a perfect loop of the thread. Don’t follow the beauticians’ way of doing threading as they are very well proficient in this procedure. It will be extremely difficult for you to do upper lips threading by their way. They just take the thread straight from the reel with one end in the mouth and the other in the hand and do the threading very quickly with accuracy.

Step 3

• Now it’s time to loop the thread around the fingers and widen the fingers with one hand while closing the fingers of the other hands simultaneously. All this will give a sliding effect to make the wound-up portion slide along towards the hand whose fingers are closed.

Step 4

• Practice closing the fingers of the open hand and vice-versa so that it could make the wound-up portion back and forth. Once you’re familiar with this, it’s time to go ahead with the next step.

Step 5

• It’s always advisable for you, don’t try it directly on your upper lip. First of all, do it on some other parts of your body like the leg as it’s easily accessible, and has plentiful hair growth. Place the thread appropriately on the different parts of the leg where you would like to practice. 

• Once you do this, you should make sure that the wound-up part is at one end and the other side angles out from both sides of the hair which you wish to remove.

Step 6

• Now it’s time to do sliding very carefully where the wound-up portion should slide with your hand movements. You should pay attention, and must see that it catches the hair while moving forward. When you do this, you see that hair will be lifted from the root and pulled out as it moves back and forth.

Step 7

• Never let oil stick on your upper lip, use talcum powder on the lip area to remove any sort of oiliness. Do the same movement to remove all hair. Tighten the skin on the lip by placing your tongue tightly under it inside your mouth or by rolling lips inwards.

Step 8

• Always remember to put good-quality soothing cream or astringent on your lip area after the hair removal. 

The above-mentioned steps appear very simple but in reality, you need too much practice to become an expert in threading. Once you do it with confidence, you don’t need to wait for a threading salon session after hair grows back. You can do it yourself at a regular interval of time from the convenience of your home.
