Threading

Threading is a method of hair removal that originated in India and Central Asia and has become popular in Western countries, especially for shaping eyebrows and removing facial hair. Threading uses a thin cotton or polyester thread that is twisted and rolled over the unwanted hair, plucking it out from the root. Threading is faster, more precise, and gentler on the skin than other methods such as tweezing or waxing. Threading can be done at home or by a professional at a salon or spa.
