Threading is an alternative method of hair removal for the entire face including eyebrows, lip and chin. The hair is wound out from the follicle by rolling a cotton thread over the skin removing the root of the hair. Advantages for eyebrow threading, as opposed to eyebrow waxing, are that it provides more precise control in shaping eyebrows as the lines are clearly defined.
Alternatively for the face we have waxing and dermaplaning or for a permanent solution we have electrolysis.
In threading, a thin thread is doubled, then twisted. It is then rolled over areas of unwanted hair, plucking the hair at the follicle level. Unlike tweezing, where single hairs are pulled out one at a time, threading can remove short rows of hair.
Advantages for eyebrow threading, as opposed to eyebrow waxing, are that it provides more precise control in shaping eyebrows and is gentler on the skin.
Threading allows for a more defined and precise shape and can create better definition for eyebrows. It is also used as a method of removing unwanted hair on the entire face and upper lip area.
