I don't understand what threading is as how it works, is it better than waxing?

Threading is like a crazy way of plucking. It's all just pulling out hair. It's a little better than waxing, because you're only targeting the hairs that are out if place, and there's no hot wax.

Threading is when they (if you get it done by someone) use thread to puck out hairs. Waxing is when they use wax and a strips/wax strip to pull the hairs out.

Sapphire and Lynzie pretty much summed it up. However, threading does not pull on your skin the way waxing does. Also some people have reactions to the ingredients in the wax.
I prefer threading because it has a cleaner finish and it won't cause premature wrinkling.

Waxing can make the area around the eyebrows red for sometime after and sting, but it is worth it... I was soooooo pleased after I got mine done. Xx
