Threading: how to perform hair removal with cotton threads. An effective DIY hair removal that is cheap and safe. Let’s find out how to do it!
If we consider in particular the hair removal techniques used since the earliest times, we will realize that those that have survived over time are so because of their proven effectiveness. The era of globalization is also the era of the rediscovery of traditions, which, thanks to the power of technology and new methods of communication, are being revived and revalued. That’s why we decided to introduce you to threading, an ancient method that simply uses cotton threads to define the eyebrows and eliminate annoying whiskers.
A NEW METHOD OF HAIR REMOVAL FOR THE FACE
This particular method of hair removal allows the hair to be extracted at the root, thanks to two cotton threads that are intertwined between the beautician’s hands and her neck in such a way as to wrap around the unwanted hair and through a sharp movement removes it from the root of the follicle, as if the threads were scissors. Obviously, this is a technique that needs to be learned, and although the Internet gives us access to tutorials that can explain the principle, in order to achieve a good result it is best to take advantage of the experience of a specialized beautician. It is only through the skill of experienced hands that, making use of threading, one will be able to outline the eyebrows in a clear and proportionate manner.
Making use of threading has many advantages, first and foremost being a natural method that does not use any chemicals and eliminates the problem at the root, almost like a permanent hair removal proposed by Pangeadonne. It is one of the least invasive methods because it does not produce lacerations and does not leave marks on the skin, unlike waxing, which when applied on the delicate skin of the face can cause burns due especially to the harmful chemicals contained in the composition of the wax, and can also cause various skin imperfections, such as folliculitis, ingrown or broken hairs, since parabens, dyes, artificial fragrances and especially kerosene clog the pores. The only discomfort for those who undergo this technique is the sensation of being slightly pinched, in fact the contact with the skin is actually minimal and also for this reason it is a highly recommended method for acne sufferers.
ORIGIN OF THE THREADING TECHNIQUE
Although it is not known exactly where this ancient technique originated, it appears to have developed more than six thousand years ago between Central Asia and India. The etymology of the word takes us back to the Indian term Bandeabru, related to the practice used in India to remove the hair that surrounded the eyebrows, preventing them from being well-defined, thin and feminine. In ancient Persia, threading was used to mark the transition to adulthood, somewhat like a rite of initiation and preparation for the feminine world. Over time it became part of the wedding ceremony, to prepare the bride for meeting her future husband. Then it spread simply for important occasions and nowadays threading has become the most popular method among Iranian women. Currently, this technique is becoming increasingly popular in the Western world for epilating eyebrows and the hair that sometimes appears on the female face. In fact, thanks to the clean gesture, in addition to the thickest and most noticeable hairs, even those that are not particularly visible can be removed, since all those annoying little hairs that prevent a clean definition of the eyebrows also remain harnessed between the threads.
Conclusion
Threading is a new facial hair removal technique that has become increasingly popular in recent years. This method involves using a thread to remove unwanted hair from the face and is said to be less painful and more precise than other methods such as waxing and tweezing. Threading is suitable for all skin types and can be used to remove hair from the eyebrows, upper lip, and chin. If you’re looking for a new method for facial hair removal, consider trying threading.
