Hi! I have been plucking facial hair for number of years. Since I am undergoing laser treatments, I only pluck my brows now.

Here is my question: Why thread when you can pluck? Does it take less time? Less painful? Longer periods of hair free?

Thank you, polki.

It's a weapon of mass plucking, sort of like waxing. You can pluck with the same success if it's practical for you. (Make sure you're plucking in the direction of hair growth)

Why don't you try this product from www.facialhairthreading.com ? I purchased their Do-It-Yourself threading tool which is based on the ancient art of threading. It is very simple to use and very effective. I used it on my upper lip, chin and cheeks. Remember, it removes hair from the roots, so if you are not used to waxing or having hair removed from the roots, it can be a little painful. But after a few uses, you get desensitized. But it works for me and the product is so handy that I carry it in my purse all the time.
