Threading

Threading is one of the oldest and simplest hair removal methods that has been used in India for centuries. Every parlour technician has been trained to use a thin, sharp cotton thread to remove facial hair. Post-pandemic, beauty aficionados have also taken to learning how to thread at home with easy tutorials. Threading also happens to be less painful than waxing and is also longer-lasting as the hair is pulled from the roots.

Egg and cornstarch

Did you know that you can use egg not just to nourish your hair but also to remove unwanted body hair naturally? When used in a paste, eggs create a thick and almost sticky texture which is perfect to trap body hair and remove it. While eggs alone can help, they can also be combined with ingredients like cornstarch which thickens the DIY paste and helps with ingrowth. Simply, apply the paste and scrub off after 25 minutes when it has hardened.
