Women go through various degrees of torture just to make themselves look good, especially when it comes to hair removal. Hot wax is applied to hair on the skin and is then ripped off. Lasers are used to burn follicles while depilatory creams dissolve hair. The most popular and oldest method of hair removal is the plucking of individual strands of hair with a tool called tweezers. These handy instruments are found in almost every woman's bathroom and are used to clean up and shape eyebrows, remove stray gray hairs, splinters, and whatever troubles (beauty or not) may arise.
