Threading
Removing facial hair with a twisted loop of cotton thread rolled across the skin.
Also: thread epilation, khite
In threading, a practitioner twists a loop of cotton thread, often holding one end in the teeth, and rolls the twist over the skin so it catches rows of hairs and pulls them out. It is old in South Asia, Iran, Central Asia and the Arab world, and is the standard way to shape brows in Indian beauty parlours. It gives a precise line and needs no chemicals. Threading salons spread worldwide from the 1990s.
