In progressive epilation, how should hair be removed?

Against the direction it grows
The same direction it grows
Pulling straight out
In a circular motion

The correct answer is: The same direction it grows

In progressive epilation, the hair is best removed in the same direction that it grows. This technique minimizes trauma to the skin and significantly reduces the risk of hair breakage, which can lead to ingrown hairs and irritation. When hair is removed in the direction of growth, it also helps to ensure a smoother and more effective epilation process, as it allows for a more complete removal of the hair from the follicle. Removing hair in the opposite direction or in a circular motion could cause increased discomfort and potential damage to the skin, while pulling straight out might not align with the natural growth pattern of the hair. Therefore, following the natural growth direction is key to achieving the best results in a progressive epilation process.
