image from hereThreading is an ancient Middle Eastern method of hair removal where a technician uses cotton thread (like something you would sew with), which is twisted and rolled over the hair. (I’ve only witnessed eyebrows and mustaches done, but I would imagine it would work most anywhere). As the thread rolls, it plucks the hair. Threading can remove an entire row of hair at one time (as opposed to tweezing, which pulls one hair at a time), resulting in a really straight line.
Every time I try something new I always ask, “Does it hurt?”
From my experiences, I would say that it’s less painful than waxing; but it’s a very different kind of feeling. It kind of feels like being snapped with elastic over and over again. But really, it’s not bad (and I have a super-low tolerance for pain). I usually go every three or four weeks and pluck any stray hairs that pop up in between, although they say it can last up to about six weeks. The cost is around $10.
The benefits of threading are that it’s quick, chemical-free, good for sensitive skin, and very sanitary.
If you have a place around you that does this and you haven’t tried it yet, I highly recommend it for perfect bridal brows.
Do you have any atypical beauty solutions?
it grows back just the same.
I know a lady who gets her entire face threaded because she hates those little baby hairs. I wonder how she has the patience to endure that!!!
