RAOHE STREET NIGHT MARKET, TAIPEI, TAIWAN - 2016/11/24: Threading (epilation) is China and Southeast Asia has long been the traditional beauty process, for the removal of facial hair in ancient skills. In China there are still many places to keep this tradition. In threading, a thin (cotton or polyester) thread is doubled, then twisted. It is then rolled over areas of unwanted hair, plucking the hair at the follicle level. Unlike tweezing, where single hairs are pulled out one at a time, threading can remove short lines of hair.
