Threading is a way of removing hair (for eyebrows and other parts of the face) using thread as opposed to wax, tweezers and alike. It is an old Asian beauty treatment done a lot in Indian communities and is now being discovered by the mainstream.

It is performed using a length of twisted cotton thread to catch and pull out the hair. Although it may seem quite simple, it does take a certain amount of skill to ensure hairs are not snapped off.

Threading is best for those of us who have a large amount of eyebrow hair and surrounding facial hair, as tweezing simply takes too long. If you are lucky enough to have just a few stray hairs and no noticeable facial hair then you probably won't understand what the fuss is about! read more about eyebrows threading
