It depends on the type of hair: for longer hairs, threading can be more effective than waxing. It's also better for sensitive skin types.

Absolutely! Shaving creates stubble that can be itchy and uncomfortable—threading is gentler on your skin and will last much longer.

Nope! Threading doesn't use heat or chemicals, so there's no risk of damaging your skin with this procedure. It can help reduce pore size and exfoliate your skin.

Hair grows at different rates based on what part of your face it's on—some parts of your face grow hair faster than others, while some are slower-growing parts. Typically though, you'll have to have your face threaded every 4 weeks or so to keep it clear.

Threading tends to last longer than waxing, but it’s tough to say how long exactly. This is because everyone's hair growth patterns are different. While you may find that you have to get thread every two weeks, your sister may only need to get thread every three weeks, and your best friend may find she only needs it every four weeks.

Plucking is not the same as waxing. Plucking removes hair by using small tweezers and pulling hair out from the roots whereas waxing pulls out hairs from their follicles using a layer of warm or cold wax.

To remove hair with thread, place one end of the thread between your thumb and first finger and wrap it once around your forefinger. Grasp a few strands of hair with the loop formed by the thread and quickly pull it out in one swift.
