What is the correct technique for tweezing hair?

Holding the skin taut and pulling with the direction of hair growth is the correct technique for tweezing. This method minimizes discomfort and reduces the risk of breaking the hair. By pulling in the direction of growth, you help ensure that the entire hair follicle is removed, leading to a smoother and more effective hair removal process. Holding the skin taut creates stability, preventing the skin from tugging, which can enhance the overall comfort for the client and ensure a more precise removal.

Other techniques, such as pulling against the direction of hair growth, may cause the hair to break instead of fully removing it from the follicle, leading to potential irritation and ingrown hairs. Soaking the area in warm water before tweezing can help soften the hair and skin, but it does not directly influence the technique of pulling. Applying ice beforehand is more suited for reducing sensitivity but does not provide guidance on the proper method for hair removal itself. Therefore, the emphasis on proper skin tension and the direction of hair growth is paramount for effective and comfortable tweezing.
