Threading Hair Removal
Threading Hair Removal, The Natural Alternative
The threading hair removal technique has been around since ancient times. It has been used as a simple and effective way to remove unwanted hair in many Eastern countries for many years and is now becoming more and more popular in the West. The technique is normally used for removing facial hair around the eyes and lips.
How does it work?
Basically a cotton thread is used to pull the hair from the root, the thread is tied around the hair making it easier to remove the entire hair follicle. It can normally last for up to 6 weeks and it is a great way for removing hair around the eyebrows, it can be particularly effective for eyebrow shaping.
So what are the advantages of threading?
- Clean method; because it only uses thread it is a very clean method of hair removal, there are no other tools or objects needed, this greatly reduces the chances of skin irritation and infection as only the thread is touching the skin
- Works effectively; because of the precision it works better than plucking, making it easier to achieve more even brows and to keep your eyebrows in perfect shape
- No chemicals needed; compared to other options like waxing threading avoid the use of chemicals which makes it a great option for people with sensitive skin or allergies.
- Fast procedure; another great advantage is that it is very fast, tweezing can be a long and tedious experience and cause some discomfort because of this, but threading both eyebrows can take only a few minutes which means you won’t have to endure any pain for longer.
- Can have permanent results; if you have your eyebrow hair threaded a lot over a period of time it can damage the hair follicle, which means the hair will stop growing altogether, this can help to achieve the perfect shape permanently as the hair won’t grow back.
Is it painful?
Although the procedure is much quicker than tweezing it can be a little painful,
What are the disadvantages of threading?
If the hair gets broken instead of being removed at the root while threading the hair can grow back quickly, so it is important to ensure all of the hair is removed.
It can be quite difficult to do, if you want to do it yourself at home it may take some time and practice before you can do it safely and quickly.
It is only recommended for facial hair removal and not for hair on other parts of the body.
Threading hair removal is a clean, fast and efficient way to achieve perfect brows.
