I was completely beside myself
Tweezers are a common practice for many people who want to remove unwanted hair. Whether it’s pulling eyebrows or removing stubborn hair, hair removal is often seen as a quick and effective solution. But an alarming video recently revealed the hidden consequences of this seemingly harmless activity.
The video below, created by Zackdfilms, shows the complex process that takes place beneath the surface of the skin when a hair is plucked, leading to a re-evaluation of this common grooming habit. Understanding these consequences is crucial for anyone who gains weight regularly, as it can affect skin health and hair regrowth.
The Science Behind
Hair and Hair Follicle Growth Hair growth is a complex biological process involving the hair follicle, a small but complex organ in the skin. Each follicle is responsible for the production of a single hair, in a cycle of growth, rest and loss. The base of the follicle, called the hair bulb, contains living cells that divide and grow to form the hair shaft. Around the follicle are sebaceous glands that produce sebum, a natural oil that nourishes the hair and skin. Understanding this process is key to understanding the effects of hair removal, as it disrupts the natural cycle and can damage the follicle.
