If eyes are the window
of the soul, then eyebrows are the frame to it! Getting the eyebrows shaped is vital
to one’s looks; besides it can give hint on the personality and the emotion of an
individual. No wonder we get our eyebrows shaped ‘rightly’ more often.
Now-a-days, more and more people are opting for ‘Threadolysis’(c) for getting the perfect eyebrows than the old-fashioned method of ‘threading’.
The reason, the fear of susceptibility to infections as people get saturated
with daily deluge of Covid-19 news.
Then why not play it safe? While traditionally a threader
holds the thread (used for shaping eye brows) between her teeth, ‘Threadolysis’(c) is all about a specially equipped device being worn around the neck like a
chain. The band-like device is then used for precision works like shaping the eyebrows.
Until Covid-19 broke out, not many had suspected the
old-fashioned threading technique as a “contagious” practice. But things have
changed a lot in the past several months as more and more clients, especially
in countries like India, turned health conscious and adhere to all possible
safety measures to keep viral infections at bay.
The amazing technique, though, is being practiced in the West
for some time. The inventor Manju Oberoi designed the technique two decades
back not with any global pandemic in mind but for two reasons – her own
personal safety and standardization of services in her salons, as well, in the
industry where she was actively working, that is in the US. Also, she took the
initiative to replace the traditional ways of hair removal with ‘Threadolysis’(c) to meet the strict standardization guidelines there.
The new technique is now all the more relevant to suit the
changed ways of living in the wake of the alien disease. It involves no unhygienic
activities unlike the traditional threading where there is a risk of minute saliva
juice droplets falling on small wounds (when hair is removed) of clients.
So, the next time you head to salons, make sure you ask for ‘Threadolysis’(c) technique being used to get your eyebrows in perfect shape.
