What should I expect at my hair threading session?

A hair threading session usually takes between 20 to 30 minutes (depending on the area of course). A standard hair threading session will usually involve the following steps.

1. At the start of your threading session, your beautician will begin with approximately 2 feet of cotton sewing thread. Your beautician will then take one end of the thread in each hand and knot them together to create one continuous circle. Your beautician will wind the thread several times until it resembles a bow tie. Your beautician will then slide the wound portion to each end of the thread until the thread is ready.

2. Once the thread is prepared, your beautician will hold the ends of a thread in her mouth. With her hands, she will make the thread taut and wind the strands around individual hairs (imagine your hair being in a lasso). The hair is then twisted and pulled out of the follicles by the root.

3. In the usual eyebrow threading session, threading starts at the unwanted hair in the middle of the eyebrows before removing growth from the top and bottom of the eye brow. Where the eyebrow arch is very high, fewer hairs from the upper section are removed. However, if the eyebrow arch is low, hair will be removed from under the eye brows.
