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

Can threading be done on any part of your body?

Accepted Answer

No. Threading only works on flat areas, which rules bikini lines and knees out.

Question 3

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 4

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 5

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 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

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.
