Item 6 - Eyebrow Threading ExplanationEyebrow Threading Explanation
Eyebrow threading is a depilation technique which originated in India,
although it is also widely practiced in the Middle East. Salons in Western
nations offered the service to Middle Eastern clients for decades before
European and American women became interested and the popularity of
eyebrow threading skyrocketed. The hair removal technique is not just for the
eyebrows: threading can be used to remove other facial and body hair as well.
The technique is sometimes listed on salon menus as khite or fatlah, which
are both Arabic words for threading. Eyebrow threading involves twisting a
piece of thread, usually cotton, into a double strand. This double stranded
thread is used to pick up a line of hair and then remove it, creating a very
clean, precise hairline. Eyebrow threading is the technique preferred by
Indian movie stars, who are often distinguished by their crisp brow lines.
