How Do You Remove Hair From Thread?

To remove hair using thread, you'll use a twisting motion to trap and pull the hair out. Here's a breakdown:

Threading Technique

The reference, Threading 101 (how to remove facial hair using thread!), explains some key principles:

Skin Tension: Keeping the skin taut is crucial.
- For the upper lip, use your tongue inside your mouth to push the skin outward, making it tight.
- For the sides of the face, pull the skin to make it tight.
Threading Motion: The hair is removed by trapping it between the twisted threads and then pulling it out.

Here's a more detailed process, incorporating the insights from the video:

Prepare the Thread: Take a length of thread and tie the ends together to form a loop.
Create the Twist: Twist the thread several times in the middle to create an "X" shape. This twisted section is what will grab the hair.
Position the Thread: Place the twisted part of the thread against the area where you want to remove the hair.
Operate the Thread: Use your fingers or hands to move the twisted part along the skin in a controlled way. The twisting action will trap the hairs and pull them out at the root.
- The hands act in an alternating open and close motion, moving the "X" back and forth, which causes the hair to be removed from the follicle.
Maintain Skin Tension: As you thread, use your tongue or your hand to keep the skin taut.

Practice: It takes practice to master the technique. Starting with easier areas like the forehead or the sides of the face, as suggested in the video, is a good idea.
Direction: Always pull the hair in the direction of hair growth to reduce the risk of irritation.
Patience: Threading requires patience and precision.
