Question 1

What is threading and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Threading is a hair removal technique that’s mostly used to remove unwanted eyebrow hair. It is chemical free and sees your therapist use twisted strands of thread to pluck single hairs from the root.

Question 2

How often should I get threading done?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your hair’s regrowth rate: most people get their legs done every 4 weeks, and their eyebrows done every 2-4 weeks.

Question 3

Is threading better than waxing?

Accepted Answer

It’s not for us to say, but many therapists prefer it because it allows them to be precise without damaging the skin. It also means there’s no danger of double-dipping wax between clients, and it can remove shorter hairs that wax can’t fully grip on to, meaning your eyebrows will stay beautifully shaped for longer.

Question 4

Are there any risks associated with threading?

Accepted Answer

Side effects are rare, but may include redness, infection, hyper-pigmentation, and ingrown hair. To minimise the risk of side effects, always book in with an experienced professional.

Question 5

How long does threading last?

Accepted Answer

Between 2 to 4 weeks, depending on your natural hair growth rate.

Question 6

How is threading different from other hair removal methods?

Accepted Answer

Unlike other hair removal methods, threading uses a single twisted strand of cotton to remove unwanted hair. Both threading and tweezing are chemical-free and work by targeting single hairs, but waxing and epilating can remove multiple hairs in one go. Threading, waxing, tweezing, and epilating all remove hair from the root, but it will regrow in 2-4 weeks. Laser hair removal is the only permanent hair removal method.

Question 7

Can I thread my own eyebrows at home?

Accepted Answer

You can, but it takes practice to get it right, increases your risk of side effects, and could see you catch your own skin in the thread.
