Final Verdict Eyebrow Threading or waxing or plucking each one has its own advantages and disadvantages. Overall, choosing any one hair removal method depends on your skin type and needs. If you follow my advice I would suggest opting for threading for those ladies who have thinner hair growth and sensitive skin. It is the fast, easy

and less painful method. While eyebrow waxing is perfect if you have thick hair growth and you do not undergo much pain of pinching every time.

According to me, eyebrow threading is superior compared to waxing and plucking.

The best choice for you depends on your overall tolerance level, skin sensitivity, time and money to spend on each hair removal method.
