How To Create A Threading Instrument To Remove Hair
Originating from the middle east and India, threading is the ancient art of hair removal. With only some cotton thread, VideoJug will show you how to create your own threading instrument.
Step 1: Get looped
Loosely tie a loop of thread around your neck.
Step 2: Create triangle
Create a triangle with your thumb and index finger about a foot down from your neck.
Step 3: Twist the triangle
Twist the triangle 7 times.
Step 4: Up and down
Lower and raise the loose end of the string while holding your triangle taut to create the rolling movement in the twists. This movement will catch a few hairs in the twists and will lift them out.
Step 5: The finish line
Find a volunteer and firmly place the line of twists onto the area to be threaded.
Move up and down while pulling on the loose end of the string. Slightly pull your neck away from the area being threaded.
The straight line of twists will catch any hair in it's path and is especially helpful when creating a neat eyebrow.
Tips & Comments
I am an Arab too, Egyptian to be specific and hairremoval methods sauch as Sugaring & threading have been used by Egyptian women since pharoanic era ...!!! Ancient Egyptian have invented it and it moved hence to other Middle Eastern & Arabic countries . It 's found here EVERYWHERE even among -country girls- and sooo cheap > I agree with the other Arab girl 1- The girl in the video used a very long thread and that could increase pain & pressure on skin . 2- thisway is used when you thread somone else not urself otherwise you will have to tie it to knob or closet door handle so you can use it on urself in front of a mirror .3- we hold the other end between teeth not on neck !! it can strangle you easily with movement & will be very tricky to manoeuver .3- there another method of making the"loop" wich doesn't require holding in between teeth or on a knob but It 's not as close and it's used for toes & the back of hands only .
great video! I just followed and made a little adaptation in order to thread my OWN eyebrows, the results were superb, although a little tricky at first. The loop is really easy, just make the shape of the letter L with your index finger and thumb, and the thread should go around these. As to making the twists, it might be easier to make a loop and twist the loose end around the neck of the loop several times (as if making a noose hehe) and then put your thumb and finger into the loop. Additionally, to thread your own eyebrows, instead of tying the thread around your neck, tie it to you foot haha, obviously you'll need: a small mirror, good lighting, patience and a little courage
love having the threading but would sooner have the wax as its less painful
i've been threaded and it works to remove hair much like waxing, problem is the thread not only catches your hair; it also catches your skin and boy does that sting!
Thanks for downloading this I will go and have a practice.
Thanks, but the video is too fast. It would help if the whole process was shown more slowly and the camera zoomed closer.
I will be finishing my threading course tomorrow:- just some tips... We hold the cotton reel in our left hand and open the thread across shoulder to shoulder length and place the thread in our right hand (still holding the reel in left) then we turn the thread on our indexleft fingerx5 and take the loop to the left thumb turning the thread x5then place your right thumbat the bottom index and middle finger on topinto the loop then turn your wrists x 5 - your ready to thread! NB: where the V point is that is your guide to pull the specific hairs you want.. Hope this kinda helped. (if clear enough)Good luck
Nice technique. I have tried, but maybe I've used the wrong cotton thread, because it doesn't glide well like in this video. Contrarywise, the thread breaks, cause the friction. Has anyone a good idea or an advice?
this is way to fast i can't see what she's doing!
Thank you. was very helpful
