Hair removal with a thread

For the most courageous, for those who are in pursuit of smooth, silky skin, ready for any tests, a method of hair removal with the help of a thread is suggested . If sugar mixtures were used by the Egyptians, then the ancient Romans became famous for thread epilation. According to the manuscripts, it was in Roman terms that the hair of beautiful matrons ruthlessly ripped out, then the Romans borrowed this exotic method from ladies living in Asian countries, but Europeans learned about the threads relatively recently.

The task of the master of epilation is simple, like a cotton thread: you need to wind the hair on two crossed threads and remove it with a sharp movement. They say that such a method has advantages, but those who have already tried told about its shortcomings:

How is hair removal done?

Removal of hair with a thread is best from the bottom, that is, from the feet. And it will be easier to learn, and the pain will be less. It is necessary to disinfect the skin, steam it with a damp, warm towel. From the cotton thread make a ring and put it on the fingers of both hands - index and large. Make in the middle a torsion in the form of a figure-eight, so that one eyelet was slightly larger than the other. Torsion under the hair, with a small circle should be at the bottom. Fingers that are put into a small circle, sharply apart, the place of crossing the threads should move upwards, and the loop to grab the hair, pulling it out. Those who have already tried this Roman way, say that it is better to train on girlfriends, and only then use a thread epilation on yourself. We also offer a more humane way of training - to try removing hair with a thread on inanimate objects - pieces of fur, or fleecy fabric. Having learned and "stuffed" the hand, you can start your own body.

After epilation, the skin should be treated with antiseptic and moisturized, solar procedures, baths and saunas will have to be postponed for 3-4 days in order to avoid infection or burns.
