Eyebrow threading

Here's one that I've been meaning to do for a while.

Every time we go to the mall, I pass this little store-front that offers "eyebrow threading," and I can never tell by looking at it just what that means.  Eyebrow extensions made of thread?  Some sort of braiding or weaving?  I always wonder.  So, as usual, to the Internet!

Eyebrow threading, according to http://www.eyebrowthreading.com/, is actually an ostensibly Eastern (Arab/Indian) method of hair removal.  It's sort of half-way between waxing and tweezing, in that instead of removing a single hair or a big patch, it removes one row of hair, by basically entangling it in a web of cotton thread and, um, pulling.  Like tying a loose tooth to a doorknob, only for hair.  It's supposedly gentler on the skin than waxing, and more precise for achieving specific shapes and lines.  On the downside, I guess, it's harder to do yourself at home.
