I'm currently 8 weeks pregnant and was wondering if it's safe to get my eyebrows and upper lip threaded. I also have pretty sensitive skin, so I'm a bit concerned about how it might react. Would love to get your thoughts on this!

Yes, it is generally safe to do eyebrow threading and upper lip threading during pregnancy, especially in the early stages like 8 weeks. However, since you have sensitive skin, it is important to be cautious. You can use a numbing cream containing lidocaine before the procedure to minimize any discomfort. Additionally, make sure the salon follows proper hygiene practices to reduce the risk of infection.

Can hair grow back after thinning?

Although hair regrowth is doubtful, hair thinning needs early intervention. The longer you wait the less effective results are. If the reason for thinning hair is genetics, it will not grow back on its own.To grow back a healthy, full head of hair, you'll need to take action, and that involves reviewing different hair loss options.
