Question 1

Is threading painful?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It’s fast and, unlike waxing, it doesn’t tug on your skin; however threading does pluck hair out from the root, so it will hurt. Rest assured, though: the pain is quick and bearable.

Question 2

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 3

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 4

What can I expect during a threading treatment?

Accepted Answer

During a threading treatment, your therapist will use twisted strands of thread to pluck single hairs from the root. Once threading is complete, your therapist may apply a cooling gel (like aloe vera) to the treated area to help soothe your skin.

Question 5

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.

Question 6

How often should you 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.
