In what direction are eyebrow hairs tweezed?

In what direction are eyebrow hairs tweezed?

• A. In the direction of hair growth
• B. Against the direction of growth
• C. Perpendicular to growth
• D. In a circular motion

Answer: (A)

Eyebrow hairs should be plucked in the same direction they grow. Pulling with the grain lets the tweezers grip the hair shaft securely and removes the hair cleanly from the follicle with minimal tugging on the skin. If you pull against the growth, the hair is more likely to resist, break off, or cause irritation and ingrown hairs. Perpendicular or circular motions aren’t effective for plucking: you need a straight, parallel pull along the hair’s natural direction to achieve a neat, comfortable result.
