Skin does not get as irritated and red. Hair removal threading can pull off specific individual hair. Besides, the hair doesn't have to be long, but just above the skin. The procedure will never produce more hairs or make hairs stronger. Hair removal threading is really good at picking up the finest hair from the surface leaving skin smooth.
As for the disadvantages, one of them is that it is rather difficult to find a specialist outside big cities. Hair removal threading can also cause pain and itching after the procedure. The method can have some side effects, such as skin reddening or puffiness, folliculitis, changes in skin pigment and a bacterial infection in the hair follicles.

The history of threading, or khite, is not quite clear. They say its motherland is Turkey.
