Summer is here and the heat is reaching record-breaking highs. Yes, it’s very hot and you feel the urge to dress less formal for work. Don’t give in to the temptation. Your goal to getting dressed for work is to project a professional, competent image at all times. But, this doesn’t mean you have to wear suits all the time, either. Choosing the right fabric to wear is a Summer “must” for staying fresh. Also, knowing how to pair colors, textures, patterns, and accessories makes a world of difference.

The Art of Threading

ThreadingOne of the most ancient forms of hair removal has recently become one of the hottest beauty trends. Eyebrow threading, an ancient Indian practice, has been adopted by many beauticians as it is an all-natural, fast and more effective method of removing unwanted hair. Threading is especially recommended for people with sensitive skin and for those on skin medications such as Retin A
and Accutane.
Threading, unlike waxing, is performed with minimal tools. The thread specialist knots the thread and creates a trap, removing unwanted hair by the roots. This leaves a smooth surface as it also removes hard-to-reach fine hair. Threading creates a very precise line which in turn, allows for a more perfect shape—important when shaping eyebrows.
The threading process lasts about three minutes and although it may sound painful, the thread moves so quickly, most people feel a small pinch or no pain at all.
Threading is a safe alternative to waxing as it does not peel a layer of skin. The majority of people who undergo threading, experience minimal to no redness or swelling and no irritations or bumps. Threading keeps hair from growing as fast as it would with waxing.
Su Voz Latina graphic designer and loyal waxing client, Cassandra Davisson, volunteered to get her eyebrows threaded for the first time. Cassandra let her eyebrows grow out for about five weeks (and yes, she was frustrated!) Although somewhat hesitant, she claims she experienced no pain at all and was extremely happy with the results.
A tip for lighter eyebrows: Once your eyebrows have been shaped, ask the threading specialist to pencil them in with a shade that matches your natural color. Follow the shape of the eyebrow and you’ll feel brand-new!
