When threading, what is the main tool used?

The main tool used in threading is 100% cotton thread. This type of thread is specifically chosen for its strength and smooth texture, allowing it to effectively grip and remove hair from the follicle without causing irritation to the skin. Cotton thread is also biodegradable, making it an environmentally friendly choice.

Using cotton thread in threading provides a precise method for hair removal, particularly in delicate areas like the eyebrows and upper lip. The thread is twisted and rolled over the skin, catching individual hair strands and pulling them out from the root, resulting in a clean and defined shape.

Other options like plastic strips, wax applicators, and metal tweezers are not primarily associated with the threading technique. Plastic strips are typically used in waxing, wax applicators are for applying wax, and tweezers are used for plucking individual hairs, which is a different hair removal method altogether.
