Eyebrow threading involves using a twisted thread to precisely remove unwanted hair.
Here's a breakdown of the threading process:
- The Thread: A thin cotton or polyester thread is used. The thread is typically doubled and twisted.
- The Technique: The aesthetician holds one end of the thread in their mouth (or between their teeth) and the other end in their hand(s). They then manipulate the twisted portion of the thread to trap and pull out hairs from the follicle.
- The Motion: The aesthetician uses a rhythmic, scissor-like motion to move the twisted thread across the skin. This motion grabs unwanted hairs and pulls them out from the root.
- Precision: Threading allows for precise shaping and the removal of even the finest hairs. It is very effective for creating clean, defined eyebrow lines.
In essence, eyebrow threading is a form of epilation where the twisted thread acts as a mini-lasso, grabbing and removing hairs directly from the follicle. It can remove a line of hair at once, or single hairs for more precise shaping.
