Yes, finally I have another Test Subect for you! As this is a procedure and not a product, I have simply taken information on it from wikipedia. I also didn't have a photo, so I grabbed this one.
What they Say:
Threading is an ancient method of hair removal originating in the Eastern world. In more recent times it has gained popularity in Western countries.
Practitioners use a pure, thin, twisted cotton thread which is rolled over usually untidy hairlines, moustaches 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. As a larger area of hair is removed at once, however, it can be relatively painful.
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 practised 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.
What I say:
That photo makes it look all relaxing and nice, but no it bloody is not! It's very effective, inexpensive and quick, but it hurts alot. It's the single most painful thing I've put myself through in the name of beauty, and that's including all 5 tattoos & 12 piercings (inc. healing time).
I honestly wanted her to stop after the first eyebrow was finished. Like I said, it's very painful, though I'm not sure what was worse, the hairs being yanked out or the ripping you could hear as multiple hairs left your face.
8 hours later and it's still sore.
At least they won't need to be done for the next 5 weeks, though I'll stick to my tweezers in future.
Peace, love and all that jazz. xo
