Threading

Threading is a method of hair removal (particularly for removing/shaping eyebrows) where a thin (cotton or polyester) 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.

Threading allows for a more defined and precise shape and can create a better definition for eyebrows. It is also used as a method of removing unwanted hair from the entire face and upper lip area. The advantages of eyebrow threading, as opposed to eyebrow waxing, are that it provides more precise control in shaping eyebrows and is gentler on the skin.
