Threading

Threading
     Each time I start to post a new blog, a new idea comes to my mind.  The topic of the day is threading. My fiance goes to school at Paul Mitchell  and she was talking to me about threading a couple weeks ago, so I decided to let yall know about this.  So here goes.


Technique:
     Professionals use a pure, thin, twisted cotton thread which is rolled over untidy hairlinesmustaches and other areas of unwanted hair, plucking the hair at the follicle level. Unlike tweezing, where single hairs are pulled out one at a time, threading can remove an entire row of hair, resulting in a straighter line. Since a larger area of hair is removed at once, it can be relatively painful.


Origin of Threading:
      Threading has long been popular in many Arab countries, and was well known from Indian and Persian culture, where it is known as Bande Abru ("Abru" means eyebrow, and "Band" is the thread). Threading the entire face is widely practiced amongst Iranians, but it was originally only done when a woman was getting married or for special occasions. In ancient Persia, threading was a sign that a girl had reached adulthood and become a woman.




Pros:
  •      No harmful lasers
  •      Cleaner, straighter, and longer edges
  •      Less expensive then using professional methods
Cons:
  • Painful ( like every other method besides laser)
  • There aren't many salons that will offer this method
