TWEEZE Meaning and
Definition
-
Tweeze is a verb that refers to the act of plucking or removing hair, typically from the body or face, using a pair of tweezers, which are small, pointed instruments designed specifically for this purpose.
When one tweezes, they grasp a single strand of hair firmly between the tips of the tweezers and then pull or pluck it out, usually in the direction of hair growth. This method allows for precise hair removal and is commonly used to shape eyebrows, remove unwanted facial hair, or eliminate ingrown hairs.
Tweezing can be done at home or by a professional beautician, and it is often preferred over other methods, such as shaving or waxing, when precision and control are necessary. The use of tweezers allows for targeted removal of individual hairs, making it popular for grooming and achieving desired eyebrow shapes or eliminating stray hairs.
The act of tweezing can be accompanied by a slight but temporary discomfort or pain, particularly for those with sensitive skin or when plucking coarser hairs. However, tweezing is generally considered a safe and effective method of hair removal, with long-lasting results. It is important to maintain cleanliness and sterilization of tweezers to avoid any potential infections or skin irritations.
