Benefits of technology

The patent describes a protective device for preventing cuts while hair threading. The device consists of a guard that is placed over the user's fingers to act as a barrier against friction caused by the thread. The guard can be attached to the fingers to keep the thread in place and away from the skin. This helps to reduce the risk of injury during the hair threading process.

Problems solved by technology

While this technique is effective for hair removal, the thread movement across the skin often causes thread cuts to the fingers of the user holding the thread.
These cuts put the user, such as a salon technician and the like, and the person having the hair removed, such as a client and the like, at risk due to cuts that result in blood or wound exposure, including blood borne or environmental pathogens.
As such, there is a great risk to the community and the spa personnel, if steps are not taken to prevent thread cuts.
When performing threading hair removal on oneself, one can also suffer thread cuts to the fingers.
This too puts persons at risk for infection.
