Tweezers are the original hair assassins. They are cheap, precise, and give you that satisfying pop sound when you win. But here’s the trick: never pluck drunk, and never pluck after crying over a sad dog video. Your grip will be off.
To do it right, pull the skin taut. Then, grab the hair at the base—not the tip, you savage. Pull in the direction of growth. If you do it wrong, you’ll just snap the hair, and it will come back angrier than a wasp at a picnic. That is a fact.
Also, a public service announcement: do not try to pluck hair on a moving bus. I saw a woman do that once, and she ended up tweezing her own eyebrow. Let that sink in.
