Threading is an ancient hair removal technique experiencing a resurgence due to its efficacy. Called khite in Arabic and fatlah in Egyptian.
A highly-skilled professional holds one end of the cotton thread between the teeth and the other end in the left hand. The middle of the thread is looped through the index and middle fingers of the right hand. The loop is used to trap a series of unwanted hairs and lift them from the skin.
The major advantage of this procedure is that no heat or chemicals are applied to the skin.
