Plucking
and Epilation
Effectiveness
6 - 8 weeks
The hair is removed from the root (hair bulb)
Notes
Great for small areas although time consuming for wider use
as hairs are removed one by one.
The ideal time is after a warm bath or shower when the pores
open.
Tweeze the hair out in the direction follicle/ hair growth.
Trim nose hairs as plucking can encourage infection.
Clean Tweezers after use and preferably disinfect them with
alcohol
Tension lost over use can be increased by lightly pulling
the tweezers apart.
Don't drop tweezers as this will throw the tips out of alignment,
use a cap or careful storage.
Advantages
Great for stray hairs and small areas
Cheap
Disadvantages
Not practical for large areas
Painful
