Threading (Hair Removal)

There is a misconception that any hair removal causes re-growth to become more coarse than before. Although vellus hair can be stimulated to become terminal hair, this is usually not the case. The misconception came about from the use of shaving to remove hair. Shaving cuts the hair at the skin's surface and since hair grows from the bottom of the follicle, the cut hair is now thicker at the top giving the impression that the hair is actually growing thicker. This is why a man's stubble is very hard and rough while a beard is much softer. With other depilatory methods where the hair is removed from the follicle, the new hair will have the normal fine tip.

Further, with continued removal of new hair growth by threading for example, there is a decline in the number of hairs that actually re-grow, so not only is re-growth finer, it is more sparse. Threading has been used to remove unwanted facial hair since ancient timesand  is a common method used in India, Pakistan and the Middle East.

 When properly done, it can be used to shape the eyebrows with a clean defining edge. It can be used to remove hair from the upper and lower lip as well as other areas of the face. The procedure utilizes a length of thread which is twisted back and forth along the hairs which are to be removed. The twisting action of the thread traps the hair and lifts it out of the follicle. This method of hair removal is more effective and less painful than tweezing.

At Warren's, when the threading is completed, we apply our own blend of essential oils to the area. This blend is not only an antiseptic, but also calms the skin. Hair re-growth becomes finer and more sparse after regular treatments. See also Waxing, Sugaring and Electrolysis
