Abstract

A method and device for plucking hair by engaging the hair with a hair-plucker body to clamp the hair thereto, moving the hair-plucker body and the hair clamp thereto in the plucking direction with respect to the skin, and successively interrupting the movement of the hair-plucker body and the hair clamp thereto such that the hair-plucker body applies a series of short tugs to the hair until it is plucked from the skin.
