The ancient art of threading is a natural and alternative hair removal technique. Threading is a traditional and natural facial hair removal technique, which is used extensively throughout India and Asia. It is used on the entire face, i.e. upper lip, chin, sideburns and cheeks.
How does Threading work?
A special type of thread is used which has a degree of elasticity,
and is treated with an anti-bacterial formula to prevent infection. The technique involves knotting and twisting a fine cotton thread around the hair and gently plucking it from the pore.
Why is it so popular?
Threading is kind to your skin – as there is no stretching or pulling of the skin, it won’t cause fine lines or wrinkles like facial waxing can. Also the hair re-growth is both slow and fine so it’s easy to see why this method of hair removal is so popular.
Threading allows for a more painless, less irritating, and precise hair removal experience. Waxing can cause broken capillaries and over time your skin will sag and wrinkle.
Threading is milder than all other methods such as depilatory creams, waxing and bleach which can irritate your skin, causing redness, spots, pigmentation, itching etc.
Threading is totally natural and is therefore completely chemical free and safe – no patch test is required before testing, it’s that safe.
