Scalp Tweezing 101 - Advanced

<< < (4/14) > >>

dalboz:
I tweezed my scalp for the first time around new years and I can offer some advice to anyone who might be considering tweezing. I used an Emjoi Soft Caress Epilator - 36 Gold Plated Hypoallergenic Tweezers (Rechargeable). There are a few things other people have already said here that I'll repeat. Tweezing is painful. Tweezing one hair with tweezers is a small fleeting pain and I initially found epilating to be less painful than I thought, but I found that built over time. It felt like an impact pain, like something striking my head. It wasn't unmanageable, but I had to take breaks. This brings up another point. It takes a long time. If you have a full head of hair then it will take a long time to tweeze it all. It took me four days to tweeze my entire scalp. Granted that was with taking breaks and giving my scalp time to rest, but that was a necessary part. While tweezing I found it super helpful to be able to see what I was doing; I set up a camera with a live feed on my computer so I could see the back of my head. It made that part way easier. One of my main reasons for this is it's really important that the epilator is removing your hair in the direction of its growth. This will help prevent your hair from breaking and causing ingrown hairs. That being said I still had some ingrown hairs. Otherwise the result was amazing! There was no sign of shadow for a few weeks at least. It wasn't as smooth as I thought it would be. I did still have some hairs on my scalp, which I ended up shaving (I didn't want to retweeze while I was dealing with ingrown hairs), but it made shaving way faster. I was surprised when my hair did begin growing back how little it had been damaged. I figure this may have been because I hadn't tweezed my scalp repeatedly. but it further reinforces that if you want to go bald using this method, then you'll need to be dedicated.

Wow it’s looks really good,  with some many members going BBC it’s really not too surprising.

Very interesting. Do you feel the quality of the skin on your head was changed in any way? Any changes in texture of appearance of the skin other than no hair?  I could really dig no fringe hair for weeks!
