Which hair removal technique involves the use of thread?

  1. Banding

  2. Chemical depilation

  3. Laser hair removal

  4. Waxing

The correct answer is: Banding

The correct answer is A. Banding involves the use of thread for hair removal. This technique, also known as threading, is popular for shaping eyebrows and removing unwanted facial hair. The practitioner twists a length of thread and uses a twisting motion to trap and pull out individual hairs from the follicle. On the other hand: - Option B, Chemical depilation, involves the use of chemical substances to break down the protein structure of the hair, allowing it to be wiped away. - Option C, Laser hair removal, uses concentrated beams of light to target and destroy hair follicles. - Option D, Waxing, involves applying a layer of wax to the skin, allowing it to harden, and then pulling it off in the opposite direction of hair growth to remove the hair from the follicle.
