Hello friend, I spent a quite long time to decide for tweezing and waxing technique, because the information about this hair removal technique is unusual, I have to think about the procedure I would apply, I checked some sites about sugaring, and readed about Traction Alopecia to comprobate if tweezing and waxing are effective, and is true, If you dedicate time for maintenance a permanent baldness will be achieved.
Personally I tryed mostly natural ingredients, I used directly hand moved tweezers to diminish the hair density I spent 5 days, them I done the "sugar waxing" and finally the extreme thin hairs I shaved.
Was so painful in the beginning, I don´t use any anestesic product, just breathing deeply and taking courage to pluck out, three weeks later I done a second waxing session and no pain of all!!! Actually the waxing maintenance spend only one hour per month and no pain of all, and ocasionally I tweeze the strubles. In eight months to apply this technique, I assume a 40% of my hair was gone forever, every new session is easier than the last before, the remaining hair is growing thinner and sparse, I´m sure monthe later I´ll spend too short time for a long term maintenance.
I wish you success, let tweeze and wax your hair, worth the effort, ad you´ll chieve the permanent baldness, the same or better than laser.

I am thinking either tweezing or waxing since laser it would be ineffective due to the amount of white hair i have. Please feel free to paste any info you have available. And I have a question to anyone who had performed this on the past, have you ever tried to use an anesthetic cream to reduce pain?
Thank you
P.S.: I am sorry for my English, I am from Greece, and English is my second language.

Have read that you went for laser hai removal... anyway this is my scalp after many years of tweezing.
I guess that now more than 95% of my scalp hair is permanently gone, and only white thin hair grows back.
Now I make only maintenance tweezing once or twice a month.
ANASFIL:
Thank you very much.
I have recently discovered tweezing, using a simple and cheap epilator.
The results are pretty encouraging.
I have to admit, that most of the work have been done by laser hair removal I had.
I will try to post, my results tomorrow.

Guess that now that you?ve removed most of hair with the laser the epilator is perfect for the maintenance.
And also to kill the last few hair that still grows back.
Look forward to see your results.

First post of a looooooong-time reader only 🙃. It?s only recently that I started to be less paranoid about leaving traces on the internet...
@zetaeffe Just wanted to thank you for posting on here about your experiences with scalp tweezing over the years. You were a big inspiration to me, contributing to me eventually going down that route myself - I have epilated my scalp for slightly more than two years now.
Laser never really seemed an option due to my natural hair color.
Anyway, feel free to send me a message to exchange a little further on this if you?d like to (I?d love to!).
