All you ever wanted to know about eyebrow threading

I still remember the first time I ever got my eyebrows threaded.  I was strong armed into it by my mum and her best friend.  It was the last day of Year 8 at school and we'd been let out early.  We drove to the eyebrow place and the daughter of the aforementioned best friend had her brows done whilst I was leafing through some of copy of Asian Woman.

Then I was told that it was my time.

I sat in the chair, out came the thread and out came the tears and swears.  I didn't cry..the act of pulling hair out from just above my eye is what made my eyes water.

Every two weeks since that fateful day back in 1997, I've been going to get my brows threaded.  I've moved from my original theading place as she started charging more money than I wanted to pay her.  I now pay £2.50 and have been with this lady since about 2004.  I've also just realised that I've been having my brows threaded for the best part of 14 years..which makes me feel really old.

I talk a lot about the annoyance that is brow threading and thus, I get asked a lot of questions about it from people who read my blog or my tweets..or those who punish themselves by reading both.

So..these are the questions I've been asked followed by my answers...
