Threading

But how do you keep your brows in shape? Pre-pandemic you might have had time to shave, then shape your brows with a dark pencil or pomade, followed by a concealer highlight. These days, though, that’s just too much work for a half face that will only be seen in passing by the supermarket cashier. Sis, in the era of COVID we are threading our way to beautiful, naturally-shaped brows that need no maintenance between appointments.

Aesthetician Johvae Moo (@ glowbyjo_), the founder of Johvae Moo Aesthetics (located in both Winchester Business Centre, Kingston and Spanish Town), has been grooming eyebrows for over seven years, and threading has consistently been one of her most requested services. She told All Woman that clients prefer the procedure because of how natural it feels and looks.

“Threading is one of the many methods by which hair on the skin can be removed, both on the face and body. It is the organic way of removing unwanted hair by a short length of twisted cotton thread,” she explained.

The aesthetician recommends threading the brows instead of shaving them, because of several reasons.

“The shaving of the eyebrows is my least recommended method simply because the results are

“Week two was a fairly great week for me as my body is starting to adjust to the diet component of the programme, so I had no overwhelming craving to cheat,” she told All Woman at her weekly check-in.

“All I had this week were the natural juices and fruits and vegetables, and I stuck to my goal this week of having the salads meatless. Based on this, I actually think I want to be meatless for the rest of the programme.”

Though she has not yet hit the halfway mark of the 23 pounds she is aiming to lose, Mckayle is happy with her progress so far, and understands why her body is holding on to some of the weight for now.

“Unfortunately, my period came, so it was a bit difficult with cramps...,” she explained. “To ensure my body has sufficient iron, Mr Grant advised me to drink a glass of lemon water with half a tablespoon of molasses each morning. He suggested we do not weigh in until next week when the cycle would be complete, as during this time any weight loss would not fully reflect on the scale due to water retention and hormonal changes.”

Mckayle did, however, notice a significant drop in inches, and she is noticing that her clothes are fitting more comfortably already.

This client opted to thread her brows so that her natural arch could be enhanced without the risk of razor bumps or irritation.

TAMARA Mckayle is halfways through her #Journeyto135 this week, and she is making consistent progress. She is already shedding pounds, inches around her waist, bust and hips, and she is reaping the other benefits of her new, clean diet. Despite some period-related water retention, Mckayle is well on her way to 135 pounds.

Mckayle is once again able to fit into this black dress comfortably, after it was beginning to get a little snug on her.
