Threading Treatments

Threading method is an ancient method of hair removal. It is popular in the Indian and Persian culture where it is called Bande abru (“Abru” means eyebrow, and “Band” is the thread). Threading the entire face is widely spread amongst Iranians, but it was originally practiced when a woman was getting married or during special occasions. In ancient Persia, threading was a sign that a girl had reached adulthood and become a woman. It has also gained popularity in the Western countries.

Practitioners use a pure, thin, twisted cotton thread which is rolled over untidy hairlines, upper lip and so on, plucking the hair at the follicle level. Unlike tweezing where a single hair is pulled out each time, threading can remove a entire row of hair, resulting in a straight line this makes it a more accurate method than other hair removal techniques ie waxing and tweezing.
