Stop tweezing & waxing!
Normal, healthy hairs on the left side.
Distorted, hooked, hairs that were snuggled deep in scar tissue from years of tweezing, on the right.
When you yank your hair out of it’s follicle, by tweezing, waxing, or threading, you are essentially creating an environment that’s perfect for growing another deeper, more resilient, faster growing and harder to destroy hair. Here’s how:
Your skin floods healing nutrition to the ‘injury’ site. The follicle receives this and happily begins growing a healthy, more resilient new hair.
Over time, the skin surrounding these follicles develops thick and dense scar tissue just below the surface (that pink’ish hue you see around each of those really stubborn hairs), and the hair will now have to burrow in deeper.
The follicle itself becomes distorted, no longer straight, making the hair curved, misshapen and harder to extract, sometimes breaking off with the root still intact, setting you up for chronic irritation, inflammation and in-growns.
