What does threading actually do?

### The Threading Technique Explained At its core, threading works through a remarkably simple yet effective mechanism. A trained beauty therapist holds a thin cotton or polyester thread between their hands and teeth, twisting it to create a figure-eight shape. As the twisted section moves along your skin, it captures multiple hair strands in the thread's spiral, extracting them directly from the root in a swift, continuous motion. Unlike other hair removal methods that cut, dissolve, or tear hair, threading physically lifts each strand from the follicle base. This extraction method means you're removing the entire hair shaft—not just what's visible above the skin surface. The precision comes from the therapist's ability to control exactly which hairs get caught in the thread's twist, allowing for intricate shaping and detailed work that's difficult to achieve with wax or tweezers. The process creates a rolling effect across the treatment area. You'll notice your therapist works in sections, systematically moving the thread across your eyebrows, upper lip, or chin. Each pass removes a row of hair, and experienced practitioners develop remarkable speed and accuracy through years of practice. ### What Makes Threading Different Threading stands apart from other hair removal methods in several distinctive ways. The technique requires no chemicals, heat, or adhesives—just thread and skilled hands. This chemical-free approach means there's nothing to irritate sensitive skin or cause allergic reactions, making it particularly suitable for those who react poorly to wax ingredients or depilatory creams. The precision level threading offers is unmatched. Your therapist can remove individual hair strands or entire rows with equal accuracy. This control makes threading ideal for shaping eyebrows where millimeter-perfect definition matters. The thread can follow natural brow arches, create sharp angles, or soften edges with surgical precision. Another unique aspect is how threading removes hair. Because the thread catches multiple hairs at once, it's faster than tweezing but more controlled than waxing. The twisting action pulls hair in the direction of growth, which many people find less painful than wax's against-the-grain removal. ### Benefits Beyond Hair Removal Threading offers unexpected advantages beyond simply removing unwanted hair. The technique provides gentle exfoliation as the thread rolls across your skin, removing dead skin cells and leaving the treatment area smooth and bright. Many clients notice their skin looks fresher and more radiant immediately after threading—a bonus effect you don't get from shaving or hair removal creams. The method is exceptionally hygienic. Each client receives a fresh length of thread, eliminating any risk of cross-contamination between appointments. There's no double-dipping applicators or reusing products, making threading one of the most sanitary hair removal options available. Threading also works effectively on all hair types and colors. Unlike laser hair removal, which struggles with light or grey hair, threading removes any hair it can catch regardless of pigmentation. Whether you have fine blonde facial hair or thick dark brows, threading handles it all with equal efficiency.
