What is the difference between shaving and plucking?

Difference 1, plucking is more thorough than shaving, which can stop hair growth from the root and delay hair growth time.

The second difference is that shaving is safer than plucking, plucking is easy to hurt hair follicles, and hair follicles are very susceptible to infection. Better be careful.

Difference three. Shaving is faster than plucking. Shaving can be achieved with a razor or depilatory cream, and the hair should be plucked one by one.

In fact, whether you shave or use eight buckets, your hair will not get thicker. It is often said that shaving or plucking hair will make hair thicker, which is without scientific basis.

Harm of plucking hair

1, hair, as the name implies, is related to sweat excretion. Below the hair follicle are sweat glands and next to them are sebaceous glands. Sweat and grease are discharged to the root of the hair follicle through the catheter, and then discharged to the outside of the skin through the hair surface, so as to achieve the effects of heat dissipation and skin lubrication.

Here, the hair plays a role in drainage. Once the hair is artificially damaged, it may lead to poor perspiration and reduce skin heat dissipation. At the same time, oil can not be discharged smoothly, which is easy to cause dry skin.

2, the hair on the skin also plays a role in keeping warm (now degraded) and defending (stimulating sensors). When external stimuli come into contact with hair, they are usually felt, so the collective plays a role in the early reaction.

3, once the hair is pulled out, bacteria may enter the hair follicle through the primary hole, causing folliculitis. A single folliculitis is called furuncle, and many furuncles can lead to metastatic infection.
