Ever wondered, does threading increase hair growth? It's a worry lots of folks have after their first go. Good news – nah, it doesn't. Let's break it down simple so you can relax and enjoy those neat brows.

Threading uses a twisted cotton thread to grab hairs right from the root. Shaving just cuts 'em at skin level, but this pulls the whole follicle out. New hairs grow back normal – maybe even finer after a while. Blame hormones or genes for thick fuzz, not the threading. Dermatologists agree: no method makes hair grow thicker.

Take my pal Sarah. She started threading her upper lip every three weeks. First regrowth felt stubby and dark – freaked her out! But six months in, hairs were softer, way less. Now she barely needs it monthly. Here's an example: consistent pulls can weaken roots over time. Quick tip – go regular for best results.

Why does it feel like more hair sometimes?

  • Baby hairs look darker without sun fading them first.
  • Once you start, you spot every little one.
  • They all pop up together, bunching looks thick.
  • Threaded ends taper natural; shaved ones feel blunt.
  • Stress or hormones spike growth – not the thread.

Conclusion

Threading won't make hair worse. It shapes clean, lasts 3-6 weeks, and suits sensitive skin. After? Pat dry, no makeup for a day, light moisturizer. You'll see smooth skin fast.

Threading does not increase hair growth. Thread away for pretty results – no thick surprises.
