Is it better for boys to pluck or shave their beards?

As men mature sexually, they will grow more or less beards. This is actually a very natural phenomenon and there is no need to feel embarrassed. Growing a beard is also one of the characteristics of men. However, some boys think it is not good-looking and will use tweezers to pull out the beards one by one. In fact, this is wrong. Take a look at the following explanations and you will understand which method is better.

Beards are a type of hair. Like hair on other parts of the body, they are divided into three parts in structure: the part exposed outside the skin is called the hair shaft, and the part buried in the skin is called the hair root. The bulge at the end of the hair root is called the hair bulb, and the sunken part below the hair bulb is called the hair papilla. The hair papilla contains nerve endings and blood vessels, which provide hair with sensation. The bag-like structure around the hair root is called the hair follicle, which is connected to the nearby sebaceous glands. As long as the hair bulb, hair papilla and intact hair follicle exist, hair can regenerate.

Plucking beards is not only painful, but also only removes the hair shafts and roots. Since the hair bulbs, hair papillae and hair follicles cannot be pulled out, the beard can still grow again. Although the hair follicles cannot be pulled out when plucking beards, it is very easy to damage the facial skin, hair follicles and adjacent sebaceous glands. Bacteria attached to the surface of the skin will take advantage of the opportunity to enter, causing inflammation of the hair follicles and sebaceous glands to form swelling. The area where the beard is located is what is medically called the "dangerous triangle". Infections in this area can easily spread and cause more serious inflammation. If it spreads to the cavernous sinuses in the cranial cavity, it may cause meningitis or purulent septicemia. Therefore, do not pluck the beard when it grows long, but shave it off with a razor.

After reading the above article, I believe that male friends should have a corresponding understanding of whether it is better to pluck or shave the beard. So what are you waiting for? Only using the right method can be beneficial to your health. Don't seek momentary pleasure and affect your body. It's worth trying.
