Threading is an old hair removal method from countries like Egypt and India, and it’s becoming more popular in the West. It removes the hair from the root, and the results can last up to six weeks

How It Works

A cotton thread is twisted and pulled along the unwanted hair. The thread traps the hair and pulls it out from the root.

Benefits

Very Clean: Only the thread touches your skin, and it’s thrown away after use.
Great for Eyebrows: Threading is perfect for shaping eyebrows, especially if other methods like tweezing or waxing haven’t worked well.
No Chemicals: There are no chemicals used, so it’s a good choice for sensitive skin or if you’re taking medications that don’t mix well with other hair removal methods.
Quick: It usually takes about five minutes to do your eyebrows, though it may take longer with different technicians.

Drawbacks

Hair Can Break: If done wrong, the hair might break, which means it will grow back faster.
Finding an Expert: Threading is a skill that takes time to learn, so it may be hard to find someone good at it, especially in smaller towns.
Hair Needs to Be Long Enough: The hair must be about 1/16 inch long for threading to work.
