Threading is a hair removal technique that uses a twisted cotton thread to remove hair from the root. Here are some steps and tips on how to thread your upper lip:
- Cut a piece of thread about 12 inches long and tie the ends together to form a loop.
- Hold the loop of thread between your fingers and twist it about 10 times in the middle.
- Place the twisted portion of the thread on your upper lip and move it back and forth while pulling the thread in opposite directions.
- The hair will get caught in the twisted thread and be pulled out from the root.
- Repeat the process until you have removed all the hair from your upper lip.
Positive aspects of threading include that it is a natural and gentle method of hair removal that is suitable for all skin types, especially for those with sensitive skin. It is also a cost-effective method that can be done at home.
Negative aspects of threading include that it can be painful, especially for those with a low pain tolerance. It can also cause redness and irritation, but this usually goes away within a few hours.
Ingredients or materials are not relevant to threading the upper lip, as it is a technique that only requires a cotton thread. However, if you are interested in a lip threading procedure that uses small dissolvable threads to smooth out fine lines around your mouth and boost collagen production, you should consult a qualified medical professional, such as a board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist. The cost of lip threading is largely determined by how many threads are used and where you live, and you should expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $1,500 for one to three lip threading sessions.
