How Threading is done
A thin thread, usually cotton, is tied at the ends and held in a circle between the hands. It is then twisted and rolled along the surface of the area where the hair is to be removed. (see image)
The hairs are caught in the thread and removed from the follicle. An entire row of hairs is pulled out at one go leaving a clean area.
This process is continued along the entire area to be treated.
