FAQ

• Are tweezers good for all hair removal?

  “Tweezers can be effective for hair removal, particularly for small areas or individual hairs,” Garcia explains. “Tweezing is precise and allows you to target specific hairs without affecting the surrounding skin.” However, she encourages people to keep in mind that tweezing can be painful and sometimes lead toingrown hairsand to use the proper technique to avoid unwanted results.
  

• How do you tweeze your hair?

  Before tweezing your eyebrows, Vucetaj recommends letting them grow to about a quarter of an inch to avoid getting ingrown hairs while plucking. When beginning the tweezing process, Garcia recommends grabbing a pair of tweezers, a cleanser to clean the area, a mirror, and good lighting. (Optional: an ice pack or numbing cream for sensitive spots.) Garcia says that, ideally, you’ll want to tweeze after a shower because warm water opens pores and makes tweezing easier.

  Once you’re in a comfortable position, Garcia says to hold the area taut with one hand, that’ll decrease any pain. “Using your tweezers, grasp the hair as close to the root as possible,” she instructs. “Be sure you have only one hair at a time; this reduces potential breakage. Pull with precision. Pull the hair out quickly in the direction of its growth—this helps reduce discomfort.

  Avoid pulling at an angle, as this can lead to broken hairs.”
