Sick of shaving, waxing or tweezing to get rid of unwanted hairs around your face? In that case, the threading hair removal method is a solution you might want to give a try. This technique is a popular choice in India and lots of Arabic countries where it is know as "khite" or "fatlah".

For us men, its use is limited, but I know of some men who've used this technique to get control over their eyebrows and to straighten untidy hairlines. I haven't heard any success stories from men using it to get rid of hair on other body parts. Yet.

Threading hair removal is getting more and more popular in western countries. It's an ancient method of removing unwanted facial hairs with the use of a thin, twisted, pure cotton thread. The thread is rolled over the face area (like your forehead) for untidy hairlines, moustache, eyebrows, and upper lips where it plucks the unwanted hairs.

Due to the growing popularity of threading hair removal nowadays, it was just a matter of time before we saw spas and salons offer this new and therefore exciting service.

It works like this. The one who is doing the threading hair removal holds one end of the thread in his teeth and the other end in the left hand. The middle part of the cotton thread is looped through the middle and index fingers of the right hand. Now, the loop serves as a trap for the unwanted hairs and pulls them right out of your skin. Most people prefer threading because of the natural straight lines it produce after the pulling as compared to tweezing.

Benefits? Well, first of all, threading hair removal is way faster than tweezing. Besides, lots of people consider this technique less painful than tweezing, which, of course is a good thing.

Threading hair removal is considered less intimidating but it is much more time consuming when compared to the old and proven but not so costumer friendly rip-off wax strip.

Threading hair removal is also considered to be a pretty inexpensive way to shape your eyebrows. Another benefit that you can get from threading is that, it has the advantage of plucking which could make the results last for more than two weeks and sometimes up to eight weeks.

Downsides? Not many. Probably the biggest of them all is that since threading for men has become so popular, it's getting harder and harder to locate an experienced aesthetician who knows her threads and can perform the method.

There are some other minor side effects like itching, a bacterial infection affecting the hair follicles, or puffiness. Sometimes this technique causes a slight change in the color of skin pigment. But these side effects seem to be rare.
