Threading (epilation)

Threading is a method of hair removal originating in India and Iran.

A disadvantage is that it can be painful, as several hairs are removed at once; however, it can be minimized if done correctly, i.e. with the right pressure.

It is also used as a method of removing unwanted hair on the entire face and upper lip area.

[citation needed] Eyebrow threading is a centuries-old technique that began in the Middle East and South Asia.
