Threading At Home - Updated 2020 || Ami Desai

With quarantine in full effect I thought an updated tutorial on how I thread my brows and upper lip was in order. I try to go into as much detail as possible on the technique and other products used. Hope you find it useful!

Who's teaching themselves to thread their brows during the quarantine?

[@dFrontRo]

meeeeee!

[@Anouskaisonline]

[@najiyahgreene1100]

D Young 🙋🏾‍♀️

[@Ami-gw9yn]

Meee toooo

[@sonyabanti]

I did mine today first time properly. I feel so chuffed. I don't think I am going back to the parlours for threading after the lockdown x

[@notchamama7571]

You’re an instinctive educator! I would literally watch you teach me how to watch paint dry! This is an amazing video…so clear, so helpful, and absolutely on point!

[@snehamehta8553]

Omg Mila “I’m gonna tell mom that I don’t wanna go to sleep” Hahahaha love her

[@amirawal]

Sneha Mehta I totally forgot to mute some parts 🙈🤣

[@TheTaxburden]

Omg that was so sweet!

[@MhetreMudita]

This is the online eyebrow tutorial that has explained both technical and aesthetic aspect of doing your own eye brows, especially where to have an arch- I never knew! Miss Desai knows what she’s doing . Thanks a lot! I have two caterpillars to work on now . 🙏🏽

[@mandylaflare]

Way harder than it looks. I cannot get the thread to grab hair & move with ease.

[@babedoll915]

I have threaded my eye brows for the first time watching your previous video and I was very astonished with the result. Thank you a bunch, you're the best Ami :) keep up.

[@pradiptadutta9300]

Ami I watched your threading videos multiple times and also the one on Mixed Makeup and now I have learnt it like a pro, did mine and my Mom's too during this quarantine. Thank you for saving our lives 💗💋

[@FSaremi]

If you remove the eyebrow with the wrong thread, it will be a disaster, of course, it is better if a beautician does it beforehand, then we will fix it with the thread like you. Thank you beautiful lady!

[@shanethomas6326]

Thanks for making this!! 💜 My upper lip was much needed 😂

[@najiyahgreene1100]

Watching your tutorials helped me!!! Now I’m able to thread my own brows!!! 🥰🥰. Thank you!!

[@pragnapravallika2079]

You helped me learn threading with all your tips and theories, thank you very much ami❤️

[@gotetirajani]

Thank you for the detailed instructions. Never thought I’d be able to do my own threading!

[@ThePd1224]

Thank for this! I really needed this. I watched all your threading videos about 3x and I did it! :) I used regular thread and loose powder as I did not want to buy much! :)

[@kitaabdosti]

Thank you for this tutorial! I discovered this detailed and great video through KZbin search for eyebrows and I am glad I found it. I am going to try it right away and also going to share with my little sister who has started doing her brows at home. Much love 🤩💟

[@helianthus2130]

thank you for the tutorial i have really dark hair bc im mixed and i have always been insecure abt it. i used to wax but i really hurts me and i heard that threading is better especially for people with acne which i also deal with. i watched the tutorial and after i got the hand motions down it started to work really well 💖

[@kellylee7957]

This is so helpful and the best video on threading. Thank you!

[@erkuh90]

I tried this today from your first video and thank you so much for these videos!! I did my upper lip, chin and eyebrows for the first time and I'm so happy with the turn out!! I feel accomplished lol.

[@lizreyes1220]

Awesome video! I can’t wait to try it on my eyebrows!👍🏼

[@so-original254]

What a time to upload this 😂 thanks for the tips!

[@donnahaynes8766]

no-one in the town where I live now does threading that I've been able to find. I think i"ll practice with my upper lip first. once I get the technique down on my lips, I may try just overall shaping of my brows. I've waxed my brows and lips for a while but not entirely thrilled with my results every time. Thank you for sharing this.

[@andreaalamar5154]

I thought the video was very informative. Amy Desai really emphasizes on technique covering all areas of face especially eyebrows. I really love this tutorial. I believe I can do this.

[@jaapgill5066]

I tried this, and it worked better than any other method I have ever tried! My eyebrows were a mess before I found this and all my friends are asking me my "secret". I totally recommend it.

[@Bosslady168]

Very informative Ami 👍👍👍I have seen heaps of videos but I love your simple instructions. 👌👌👌

[@dFrontRo]

Thank you so so much for this Ami

[@sonyabanti]

I did my first proper threading today and I am so chuffed. Thanks hunny x

[@sharanyaapathumudihalambi7768]

This is amazing video fir these times ❤️thanks for making it ..I might attempt to thread mine 😁

[@Schoolgirl325]

I’m 25 going on 26. I’ve spent more time waxing, but I recently switched to threading, and I actually like it more, even if it’s a bit of an adjustment. This is a nice tutorial, but I can’t use my right hand well due to a disability, so I just went to my local salon to get my brows, chin, and upper lip threaded. There’s no such thing as painless threading. You get used to it a bit more, but it still hurts because they’re pulling hair from the root. My eyes started watering when the esthetician at the salon threaded my upper lip because the skin is sensitive there. I haven’t noticed any bleeding or bumps from it, so I think they did a good job. It is a really good result, though, and it’s less red afterwards. BTW, you’re skin looks amazing for 38!

[@ashvibhansali]

This was so helpful. Thank you!

[@mehreenchowdhury9243]

omg i was on a video you made about threading in 2019 and i checked out your channel and saw this a LIFESAVER for my incredibly thick brows!! thank you

You are a genius your video should be on the product page the description manual sucks thank you little angel😂

[@AA-jw5rz]

Brows are so so important and I cant find any salon able to do it to my choice.. thanks for the DIY tutorial

[@ashneeltaprakash2785]

Thanks so so so much , it really got my brain going. I have just always been a person that need hair removal on face frequently and usually usually upper lip and chin. I’m so gonna give this a try I know I’m 2 yrs late but hey never too late to self care …thanks so much

[@4Emeri]

This is great. Can you use any thread (e.g. sewing thread) or is there a specific kind?

[@paaruupadhyay7288]

Learned lot by watching your video.

[@26LucyLou]

I find the thread cuts into my fingers quite a bit. Not breaking the skin or anything but after just a minute my skin is red and sore where the thread sits/rubs.

[@26LucyLou]

I should say its a great video, very helpful and it seems to work except for the sore finger issue

[@wildcatste]

try putting a band-aid on your fingers that helped me

[@mohsinakaderi3870]

How about if someone doesn't see good needs to wear a glass to see then how would she do the threading.

[@RVC0902]

Excellent. Thank you so much.

[@BubbleLush16]

Thanku this helped me so much with my beauty course 👏🏽

[@TejalParekhTV]

Thanks for sharing , very helpful

[@horrorripples3332]

I know I will never do threading by myself but it's nice to get some tips to protect my skin before n after the threading process..

[@jodiiperez9591]

Actually didn't find it hard surprisingly 😊😊 I favour one brow too but I finally got my struggle brow the same shape it just needs to grow thicker😅 thanks hun I also did my hairs at the side of my face I got carried away I'm looking fresh af rn🤣🤣💕💕💕💕💕💕

I learned from you... Thank you!!!!

[@heenajprasad5744]

Thank you for stressing "keep trying". I got really distracted the first 10 times but I got the hang of it on Day 1 👏🏾 Thanks for this ☺️

[@deepahegde3483]

Hi Amy , I am not able do the left eyebrows as I am not comfortable going in the opposite direction of hair growth . Can you please suggest some tip or is it just practice ? Thank you

[@juliewhite2526]

@Ami Desai Would you recommend this same kind of thread for fine hair as well?

[@davinabolinsky2591]

Great video, thank you

[@julanaortiz5411]

What color//brand of lip stick are you wearing in the tutorial? It’s so light and pretty.

[@wildcatste]

Whew thank you! My beard is getting embarrassing in quarantine

[@amishaamisha8282]

I love it

[@mariela1234ize]

What foundation and concealer do you use (and shade)? You're skin look flawless

[@deletedaccount8511]

i originally came here to see how to hold the thread, but this was helphul

[@chellez29]

Would corn starch be a good alternative for baby powder? I really can't mess with talcum powder.

[@sonias9846]

It looks so easy. But I'll give it a shot and see what happens

[@yasminakhurana777]

With threading you also stretch your skin and even worse, the only diferente in between the wax and threading is that wax exfoliate your skin and threading don’t . 😊😊

[@dariaalexandra7600]

is it ok if i took a normal sewing thread and sprayed antibacterial spray over it first and let it dry?))

[@Twi-An]

Ok, so how do I know which direction the hair grows? Thanks

[@cherchercherries]

I tore a holes in my skin at first time trying. Be careful girls, with gentle skin under eyebrow, make sure skin is not inside the threads! But Im proud of that I managed actually to pull out hairs in first time, although sad of damaged skin! Hopefull will heal fast :) Good luck! Thanks for video!

[@ilyssaallison]

Does it matter which thread you buy? I’ve been trying this over and over again but have not been pulling hair..

[@pragnapravallika2079]

I love the way you dressup and your look

I have been threading for a year now and all of a sudden I'm starting to get hyperpigmentation around my mouth. I feel this is so embarrassing now i can't go out without makeup. Are there any ways i can prep skin to prevent hyperpigmentation?

[@desireecopeland8089]

😊🥰😍🤩 love it

[@donlywaybv]

Nice! Now I know how it works! And btw, you are so cute 🙈

[@nisreenosseili3673]

Hey ami! My thread keeps breaking/snapping! Do you have any tips to avoid that or any suggestions as to why it might be happening??

[@cyoquigua]

She mentioned that she usually has to start over with a new piece of thread when she switches areas because the thread will wear out. So this sounds normal. Just cut a new piece and start fresh.

[@NikkiAkaNlg]

I am having the hardest time on how to hold the thread. I get where the fingers need to be, but it's too loose and I can't get a repetitive motion.. I've tried making it tighter and looser, doesn't work.

[@sirkittenlordoftuna6705]

Gonna try this on my hairy-ass brother. Do you recommend doing this on the cheeks??

[@ToReall]

i tried learning but my fingers start hurting ,what you do then ?

[@sarahk3873]

I’m somehow unable to make those finger movements effectively. It’s frustrating 😁

[@peaceofmindofpeace1650]

There is an easy threading tool you can find it in webshops if you search by threading tool. However I tried it and it worked pretty well very easy but..the tool works by two nylon threads rolling against eachother so your skin being squeezed and I think I got bumps on my skin, my forehead so I won't use it again I don't want to create loose skin or wrinkles there. I guess I will have to go to the hairdresser again to let them do it perfectly.

[@sarahk3873]

[@nurunnesha5839]

Please share skin care tips

[@SereneGohSH]

Do your fingers not get friction burns after a while of threading? The skin on my fingers in contact with the thread always gets swollen and painful after threading for maybe 2 mins 😭

[@minkink2291]

Serene Goh use a band aid! It removes the friction.

[@heartofmygod962]

How do you prevent the thread from cutting in your fingers

[@dFrontRo]

This is a good question

[@mikshac4909]

Use all the four fingers and bigger loop instead of using only two or three ! The bigger the loop and the faster the moves, it prevents cutting both face skin as well as finger skin

[@dFrontRo]

@@mikshac4909 Thank you

[@minkink2291]

Band aids! Put then where it’s digging in and it stops it from digging in.

[@farfromtheearth]

How does it not hurt your fingers?

[@ymReal]

After accidentally slipped a brush full of wax through my right side eyelashes while waxing my right side eyebrow 😶 this method is not a joke. I had a second chance in the beauty universe to make changes and be extra careful next time. I applied wax removal oil right away and carefully remove the wax...everything was so fast and thanks God I saved my leashes 🤕😖 That was not fun at all.
