Pluck
Hair? The No. 1 Tip . . .
The
main factor if you want to pluck hair successfully
is: Invest in a QUALITY pair of tweezers!
That's
it!
A cheap,
low quality pair of tweezers makes plucking hair arduous and ineffective.
You run the risk of breaking the hair which can also lead to painful
ingrown hairs.
So
take a moment and educate yourself about tweezers. They are not
all the same. Choose the right shape or even invest in a variety
of shapes for different jobs.
Pluck
Hair With Slant-Tip Tweezers
The
slant-tip tweezer is a must in your toolkit if you want to pluck
hair easily and effectively.
Machine
angled, these tweezers are ideal for eyebrow plucking or removing
facial hair from the upper lip or neck.
Pluck
Hair With Point-Tip Tweezers
These
may not be used as much but they are good to have in your kit for
the occasional troublesome hair that may bend back into the skin
and start to ingrow.
Point
tip tweezers need to be used with caution to avoid damaging the
skin. Be sure you are in good light so you can lift the hair out
of the follicle. You may then want to follow up with slant-tip tweezers
and pluck the hair right out.
Pluck
Hair With Round-Tip Tweezers
These
are safe to use for youngsters or for the elderly who may not be
able to hold them so steady.
Which
Brand?
Tweezerman
is regarded by many as the best in the business and they are often
used by professionals.
However,
there are a variety of other quality makes on the market including:
Many
developments have been made recently in the world of tweezers. You
can now get them diamond tipped, gold plated, and even with an LED
so the tip lights up and you can therefore see easily how to pluck
hair.
A stainless
steel body is good for hygiene and it is a good practice to regularly
wipe them over with cotton wool soaking in a rubbing alcohol.
Rather
than struggling with poor quality tweezers, why not spend a few
dollars and get yourself well equipped with one or two quality tweezers.
You
will be glad you did the next time you come to pluck
hair. |
