Threading, an ancient Indian hair removal process has been a celebrity secret for the past few years.

Threading is performed by twisting a loop of thread around one’s fingers and running it over the skin, plucking unwanted hair out at the root without pinching the skin. It removes hair quickly in a precise line. Threading is one of the best hair removal options for eyebrows and other facial hairs, however it is not recommended for larger areas or bikini line.

There are several advantages to threading, over other hair removal processes. Unlike waxing, threading doesn’t remove the skin and can be performed across the entire face. Also, the cool thread does not leave the skin red and there is no chance of getting a burn, making threading an excellent choice for people with sensitive skin. Unlike tweezing, threading grabs the most minute of hairs and re-growth tends to be slower and finer-particularly with coarse hormonal hairs on the chin.
