Horrifying simulation shows what happens when you pluck a hair from your face

Horrifying simulation shows what happens when you pluck a hair from your face

Maybe next time you'll think twice before reaching for the tweezers

If you want to tear out a hair from your face before its time then you could use the traditional method of plucking with a thumb and forefinger, or you might break out the tweezers.

Obviously this is going to be a somewhat painful procedure, but presumably you have good cause to be tearing hair out of your own body.

If that's the case, then you might want to put the tweezers back into whichever drawer you plucked them from because plucking out hairs could cause you some other problems beyond the initial pain.

Every time you pluck one, it inflames the follicle and can result in a spot at the site you tore the hair from.

You can do yourself some favours on this front by warming up your skin before plucking and doing it properly, but you're still best off trying to keep the tweezer action to a minimum.

If you need further dissuading then there's also a pretty graphic simulation of what happens when you pluck out a hair and it's all you need to see to stop trying it.

That simulation points out that if you pluck out an old hair then another one might grow in its place at an angle, meaning the hair is there but not pushing through the surface of your skin.

Instead the hair is growing underneath your skin and trapped, which sounds incredibly unpleasant and can lead to irritating ingrown hairs.

Regular plucking can also end up having a bit of a scorched earth effect that results in you no longer having any hair to pluck out as you've torn the whole thing out enough times that the follicles give up the ghost.

However, this might actually be a good thing in the long run if you just don't want to be plucking those hairs.


Meanwhile, if you're interested in other simulations that could horrify you then you might also like to know what would happen to someone condemned to death in history's worst torture device.

There's also the horrifying fate of a man who got trapped behind a fridge and died, with his body not being found for a decade after he first went missing.

If you've ever wanted to know what would happen to your body in space if there wasn't a spacesuit to protect it there's a simulation for that, and you could well imagine it's not a pleasant fate to suffer.
