There are many effects of plucking a beard and here are a few of them that you need to be aware of if you are going to pluck your beard hair regularly. There is a huge range of responses of hair follicles to plucking and the reaction pattern may be unpredictable. The plucking of the hair generally stimulates the hair route into growing another hair which means that after plucking you will normally see a beard hair growing in the same spot after a couple of weeks.
And that is because it is rare that plucking causes complete removal of the follicular bulb — where the hair grows. A lot of people pluck beard hairs to remove the beard hair from a certain part of their face as a way of maintaining the style and clean cut edges of their beard. Beard hairs can be plucked from the cheeks and the neck area for a much cleaner beard line. Research published in shows that after plucking some hair follicles produce a thinner, finer hair whilst others may convert vellus thin light hairs to thicker courser hair.
So, you must be careful about the consequences of plucking your beard. The ability to placate facial hair depends on your skill level with a pair of tweezers or your tool of choice as well as your ability to tolerate significant discomfort at the point of hair removal.
Some men are able to pluck facial hair with little difficulty whilst others develop symptoms such as hyperpigmentation, localised scarring, ingrown hairs, and distorted follicles which inhibits and changes further hair growth at the site of plucking.
When you pull a hair out the hair follicle will try and repair any damage which has occurred from the process of plucking. This can include localised cuts, tearing of the skin, introduction of bacteria into the hair follicle and much more. If you pull out a hair and it does not have a large bulb at the bottom this means that the hair was in its resting phase of its growth cycle and you have not caused too much damage to the hair follicle. On the other hand, if you pull out a hair with the root attached the hair was in the active phase of its growth cycle it is this type of hair pulling which can cause the most amount of damage to the hair follicle.
Sometimes, you may be able to see a black tip on the hairs that you have pulled out from your skin. This is the area that is responsible for putting colour into the hair while it is growing.
If you pull out a hair and the whole follicle comes out with a red tip this means that you have just detached the blood supply and tiny muscle the one that makes your hair stand on end from the skin. This is permanent damage and it means that the hair will not grow back in the same spot.
You have to be very careful when plucking beards because beard hairs and eyebrow hairs are much easier to damage than scalp hairs.
You can cause significant trauma to the base of the hair and the elasticity of the skin means that the root can be pulled towards the surface of the skin during plucking. This can change the position that the hair follicle lies in relation to the skin. The new position of the hair follicle as it lies against the skin can result in a number of different shapes of hair follicles including corkscrews, spirals and an increase of curliness at the surface of the skin.
Plucking hairs contributes to the local spread of infection in at least two ways. Firstly, the plucking of the hair may cause skin microtrauma is which allows an infection to get into the skin. Secondly, the infection can be spread mechanically by using infected tweezers or other tools to pluck the hairs. Infectious diseases that can spread this way include Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, Pseudodominas Aeruginosa as well as human papilloma virus and molluscum contagiosum.
In extreme cases infection may induce toxic shock syndrome. Toxic shock syndrome is caused by a group of bacteria known as Streptococcus and cause issues when they enter deep into tissues or the bloodstream of people.
Toxic shock syndrome often feels like a typical cold or flu with symptoms which include:. These symptoms quickly progress into much more serious symptoms which can lead to organ failure in the kidney, liver, lungs and serious blood issues.
If you have significant symptoms after plucking your beard you should immediately seek medical attention. Pulling out your hair can cause more issues than it solves. For example, if you pull out a hair and the follicle returns to a deeper location in the skin or its position has changed relative to the surface of the skin you can introduce a significant number of ingrown hairs.
After plucking, or waxing, hairs which grow back in the hair follicle can struggle to break the surface of the skin. This means that the hair gets trapped under the skin and continues to grow in the hair follicle and produces a large cavity just under the skin. Quite often you can see ingrown hairs as a dark spot under the skin which can sometimes be confused as a black head or pimple.
Pseudofolliculitis barbae is an inflammatory condition of the beard area. It seems to be more prevalent in men of an African descent and it can expect both men and women.
There is a study published in which looks at the condition and also the role of facial grooming in making it worse. Visit a beauty supply store or drugstore and purchase a home waxing kit. Make sure it specifically states it can be used on facial hair. You can either get spreadable wax or ready-made strips that already have wax applied.
The ready-made strips are the tidier option, though they are sometimes less effective. Wash your face with an exfoliating cleanser to minimize pain. Cleaning out your pores and removing built-up dead skin cells will make it easier for the wax to pull the hair from the follicle.
Scrub your face with an exfoliating wash, or use a normal face wash and scrub with a washcloth. Other ways to minimize pain include applying numbing creams, taking a hot shower beforehand, and avoiding caffeine and alcohol on waxing day.
Heat up the wax in the microwave if necessary. Most waxes must be warmed up, but wax strips are sometimes the exception. Place the container of wax in the microwave and heat it for the recommended amount of time. Follow the instructions on your product carefully to avoid overheating it and burning yourself. Apply spreadable wax over the mustache area. If you purchased spreadable wax, use the applicator that came with the kit to spread it carefully along your upper lip.
Apply it in the same direction that the hair grows. The wax should cover your mustache area in a thick layer, but be sure to avoid the delicate skin on your lips and in your nose. Apply a waxing strip over your upper lip. Whether you just spread wax over your upper lip, or you purchased strips with wax already on them, apply a strip across your mustache area.
Start on one side of your upper lip and move across the middle as you apply it. Pull it taut as you smooth it over the area with your fingers, making sure no air bubbles get trapped under the strip. Wait the recommended time. Follow the product instructions for how long you should leave the wax on. Removing it too early may render it ineffective, and waiting too long is unlikely to make it more effective. Tear off the strip in one quick motion. Hold the skin next to your upper lip taut with one hand, and grasp one end of the strip with the other.
Yank it off quickly in one smooth motion, pulling it in the opposite direction that the hair grows. Lather up your fingers with soap and water and then gently rub your upper lip.
If you feel any residue left behind, dampen a washcloth and gently wipe the area until it's gone. Apply a cortizone cream to reduce redness. Visit a drugstore and pick up some cortizone cream to apply to your upper lip after waxing. Use it for the first 24 hours after waxing to reduce redness and irritation. You can also use a soothing oil, such as azulene oil. Method 3. Bleaching is an effective method for hiding mustache hairs that are too short to wax.
Bleaching is best used on fine hair and is often ineffective on very coarse hair. Choose a cream bleach for facial hair. Visit a beauty supply store to pick out a cream bleach. Be sure to only choose bleach that is recommended for use on the face, or your skin may become irritated. If possible, choose a bleach that's appropriate for your skin type i. Mix the bleach according to product instructions. The bleach should come with a cream and an activating powder.
Mix these two ingredients together according to the package instructions immediately before you plan to use the bleach. Leave on for the recommended amount of time on the box, and then wash it off.
Wash the skin on your upper lip with a gentle cleanser. Before applying the bleach, make sure your skin is clean by washing it with soap and water, or use your regular face wash to cleanse the area. Avoid exfoliating facial cleansers since applying bleach right after it may irritate your skin. Apply the bleach to your mustache area. Start under your nose and move outward in the direction that your hair grows. Be very careful not to get it on your lip itself or near the skin in your nostrils.
Dispose of your application instrument or gloves in a plastic bag, since you could get bleach on your garbage can. Wait the recommended amount of time. Follow the instructions on the product packaging and do not exceed the recommended amount of time. Your skin could become irritated or damaged if you do. Generally, bleaching cream should not be used on the skin for more than ten minutes at a time.
Wipe away a small amount to test if it has worked. Use a Q-tip or cotton pad to wipe a small section of the cream away. Wipe the cream away from your nose and mouth, rather than toward them, and check to see if the hair is light.
If not, wait another minute, but do not exceed the maximum recommended amount of time. Wipe away the remaining cream with a cotton pad. Use cotton pads or paper towels to wipe up the remaining cream. Be careful not to get it on any sensitive areas as you wipe, and dispose of the pads in a plastic bag.
Rinse your skin thoroughly with soap and cold water. Lather your fingers with soap and cold water, and then gently rub your upper lip to wash away the rest of the bleach residue. Repeat when the hair grows in dark again. After several weeks, bleach the hair again when you see it starting to grow in dark again. Stop using the bleach, or use it more intermittently, if your skin turns red or gets itchy or irritated. Method 4. Choose electrolysis or laser removal for a permanent solution.
Both electrolysis and laser removal have the potential to be permanent solutions after enough treatments. Choose laser hair removal if you have dark hair and light skin. During laser-hair removal, a laser is used to zap many hair follicles at once and kill hair at the root.
Research locations and practitioners carefully. Look online for reviews, but never choose a location based on the testimonials on their company website. Call a few clinics to interview practitioners. Call your top two or three choices for clinics and ask them questions about their services, equipment, and training. Ask practitioners about their expectations for your hair type. While laser hair removal and electrolysis can have permanent effects and work wonders for some people, they are not guaranteed for everyone.
Moreover, the treatments can be painful and expensive. Ask a couple of different practitioners what they expect your results to be. Answered: it would hurt a lot, ive tried it, but it would eventually grow back a lot thinner. Answered: Yeah go for it i would recommend that you put warm water on the area b4 u pluck to make it least painful and that u make sure to put moisturizer on that area to avoid bumps. Answered: dont do it. Related posts: When you are growing a goatee do you shave the hair under the chin that leads to your neck?
