Got this definition of threading off the internet as I couldn't think of a simple way to describe it:

"Practitioners use a pure, thin, twisted cotton thread which is rolled over untidy hairlines, moustaches and so on, plucking the hair at the follicle level. Unlike tweezing where a single hair is pulled out each time, threading can remove an entire row of hair, resulting in a straighter line. However, due to a larger area of hair being removed at once, it can be quite painful for some"


Basically, its quite skiiled and they use a thread and go really fast. It is quite sore, but no more so than waxing.

When I lived in London you could get it done in loads of places and I used to pay £8 to get my brows done. The one & only place I have found near me now that does it charges £30!!! As if i'd pay that - will stick to my tweezers in the meantime thanks

I usually shave legs and underarms, and use immac on my bikini line. Got a new wilkinson sword razor that has a trimmer, so now I just trim my bikini line cause I have very light hair anyway. Will prob get waxed though for wedding and honeymoon cause does last longer, but im not a very good waxee!!! Also dont like having to let the hair grow long enough to be waxed. My best friend is my beautician and I think she does be ready to kill me by the end of it cause I do be flinchin and yelpin,lol!! But she worked in Oz, and when you get hollywood wax there you do get up on all fours to get the at the back, nearly fell off my chair when she told me this!!! But doesn't bother her at all, she's seen all sorts she said! I did have to ask was my you know what normal, not over hairy etc, and was glad to find out I am normal, or so she says!!! The converstaions we have with our bezzie mates!!!!!

so glad im not the only one who has weird talks with my friends too

[eb]

I know, these questions have to be asked!!

[irishemma]

Have any if you tried epilating? It hurts the first few times but gets easier. Very effective and cheaper than waxing!

[im married]

whats that??

[irishemma]

An epilator is looks like a shaver but instead if a razor it has loads of little tweezers in a rotating head. It plucks the hairs out from the roots and is similar in effect to waxing. The eplator is about 60 euro for a decent one but defo works out cheaper than waxing.

hhhmmm sounds sore but if its like waxing and you get used to it, i supose its not too bad

[irishemma]

It's sore at first but you do get used to it. The first time is the worst but after that you can do it every few days and it gets them as they grow. Some people get waxed and then use an epilator as the hairs grow in. I take painkillers about 20 mins before which helps!
