Threading is an ancient hair removal method that has been in practice for centuries. Threading is an excellent way to keep your upper lip and chin free of unwanted facial hair. Threading can be done for almost all skin types, even if you have sensitive skin. Threading is a better alternative when compared to options like waxing, as it does not remove a layer of skin.

PRICE: $14

Inexpensive, fast, neat, considered less painful, less red skin than plucking for many. Good for eyebrows and facial hair and ingrown hairs.

Description

The practitioner holds one end of the cotton thread in his or her teeth and the other in the left hand. The middle is looped through the index and middle fingers of the right hand. The practitioner then uses the loop to trap a series of unwanted hairs and pull them from the skin.

Trained threading practitioners can perform the procedure at an extremely rapid rate, and for many people, threading is less painful than waxing or plucking.
