Middle Eastern women are raised with an innate knowledge of hair removal, specifically a technique called threading. Threading is not a skill you are likely to see possessed by your usual beautician, but you will be able to find a practitioner in Muslim or Eastern Indian communities. The custom is to remove hair with the skilled use of a simple cotton thread. The expert will loop the thread between two fingers, and with an easy twist and pull be able to remove unwanted hairs from your eyebrows, upper lip or the sides of your face. It is a seemingly very complicated procedure that is nevertheless performed with great ease by Middle Eastern hair removal experts.
The practise is called Khite in Arabic, and is used predominantly in India and Egypt for women in need of regular hair removal. There are benefits to this type of hair removal: it is quick, very simple, relatively cheap and there is no use of sticky or frightening waxes or solutions. Most hair removal techniques that we use invariably make use of either tweezers or sticky solutions that are meant to grab hold of the hairs and pull them out en masse. These are generally accepted techniques that we trust every time we look in the mirror and see a few too many hairs staring back at us, but when you consider the amount of money you spend each month or year to remove unwanted hair, you can start to appreciate the ability to remove them with nothing more than a thread.
The history of threading is patchy at best, but it is believed to have originated in Turkey. The practise ensures that skin is not irritated while the hair is removed, and for this reason threading is growing in popularity across the world.
