Scalp Tweezing 101 - Advanced

[Razorhead]

It sounds painful. For guys that do it like @chuck63 and @Levi149 did you do your full head or just cleaning up areas that is just thin?

The ultimate smooth look from tweezing sounds appealing to me, I just have not been brave enough to try it.

I love the feeling of a smooth fresh shave that only lasts about 8 hours for me, how long does tweezing feel like a fresh shave?

I don't think I would tolerate the pain. I also think I would miss the razor shaving routine. Yes, sometimes I just get tired of shaving, but most of the time I look forward to lathering up and making my head perfectly smooth. You can take pride in creating a distinctive look and wear a sharp looking haircut.

I have some thinning on the top.  The pain level there isn’t too bad.   The sides and the back of my head hurt worse.  I don’t attempt doing those areas.   I’m seriously considering going the laser route.  Aud’s Beauty Adventures has some excellent videos of the process on her YouTube channel.

Started tweezing this week will show you results in a month or so. Starting at the crown because I hate shaving there. Good riddance cowlick.

How would you describe you pain level?  What equipment are you using?

Mostly just using a tweezer to thin what I have out. Starting at the crown because that's my most tricky spot to shave. It is mostly annoying vs painful.

Ever try using an epilator?

If I could find a good one I'd be open to it anything to shave easier.

Is shaving your head really that much of a chore?  I’m sure you have a lot more hair than I do, so I suppose I just can’t relate.

I have a good one and I’ll bring it along to Florida if you’d like me to try it out on you but I warn you it can be quite painful I recommend that you use the epilator and little quarter inch strips at a time rather than trying to feed the entire head at once

I've been tweezing the top of my head for the last year or so and it really makes easier shave and makes your scalp shine a lot more

Ive finally decided on speeding up the balding process because im in a weird in between stage by epilation as a friend of mine encouraged me to. Any advice is definitely appreciated

Have you started to see a difference yet?  Your profile photo still has quite a bit of visible shadow, can you see a difference in your current photos?  IMO, the shadow reduction and the decreased shaving are the main benefits of tweezing over shaving.

I have used the Braun Silk epilator

I have also had my head waxed

When done a narrow strips the waxing is far less painful and a lot faster than using the epilator.

It is very difficult though to find a waxing technician that will agree to do your head, but the two times I?ve had it done. I didn?t have to shave for at least a month and then some spot to six weeks.  The technician told me that if I do it regularly eventually those hair follicles would get thinner and thinner and completely die out.
