It's done with a regular piece of sewing thread, which the consultant holds between fingers and somehow twists the thread whilst keeping it moving.
It's very quick, usually takes no more than 10 minutes and I personally think it's more effective than plucking or waxing, as even the finer hairs are removed.
Thanks velvetee - I am going to see a beauty therapist and see what they recommend for my eyebrows. I would like to try threading rather than plucking though x
It's quick and relatively pain-free. You will be pink afterwards though, so do it when you're on your way home. or take large sunglasses.
Having the upper lip done is NOT pain-free however - I found it eye-watering.
