Threading

Threading is an ancient Middle Eastern technique that is becoming famous in United Kingdom as well. Threading removes the entire hair follicle, lasting up to 6 weeks. An aesthetician uses a doubled-up strand of cotton thread to twist around individual hairs, and pulls them out from the roots. Technique of threading for hair removal is usually used for eyebrow shaping, upper lip, chin, forehead and sides of the face.

The discomfort from threading is similar to tweezing, but the process is much, much quicker.
