Functional life hacks: how to make tweezers from coins, how not to sneeze and much more


Neat, plucked eyebrows with the correct shape make the face more expressive and attractive. Sometimes they are able to radically change it, both for the better and for the worse. Of course, you can get your eyebrows done in a salon, but you will still have to remove excess hairs yourself. We'll talk about how to do this in the article.

Many people remember how quite recently thin “thread” eyebrows were in fashion. However, now the trend is towards naturalness, so wide eyebrows are not uncommon. Sometimes there are “sable”, very wide eyebrows, which, however, look harmonious.

And this happens because the most suitable eyebrow shape for the face is the one that is given by nature. You shouldn’t try to follow fashion and pluck them too much or, conversely, draw them too wide. It will be enough to give your eyebrows a neat shape and remove excess hair, highlighting their natural beauty.

Choice of length, width and shape

The choice of eyebrow shape directly depends on the shape of the face, which can be varied.

And yet, there are 5 main forms:

  1. Round face. For girls with a similar type of face, raised, pointed eyebrows with a break near the outer edge are suitable.
  2. Square shaped face. They should be slightly raised and shaped like a rainbow. The head should be wide with a smooth transition into a straight line near the center of the eye. Pointed corners will complement the cheekbones of a square face.
  3. Triangular face type. The best option is a rounded and slightly raised arch of the eyebrows.
  4. Long face. Straight eyebrows will help visually expand the shape of your face. Their width should be medium, since thin eyebrows will not be able to emphasize the look. It is better to raise the tail a little up.
  5. An oval face will be decorated with a curved shape, which should be slightly raised.

Is it possible to replace tweezers for hair removal?

Eyebrows require careful care. Excessive grown hairs spoil the appearance of girls and make them unkempt. For most of the fair sex, plucking hairs above the eyes is painful. Unpleasant pain occurs when using traditional tweezers. The process is accompanied by tension of the hair, tearing it out of the hole. Girls are trying to find other ways to pluck their eyebrows without using tweezers and with less pain.

Another unpleasant aspect of using tweezers is the redness of the disturbed areas. To eliminate the unpleasant consequences accompanying painful factors, cosmetologists use special creams to freeze the treated areas.

The chosen tool is of great importance. The cost of high-quality tweezers is high; not every girl can afford to purchase an expensive product.

Inconveniences and additional expenses forced girls to look for alternative ways to pluck eyebrow ridges without tweezers, which do not require the use of cosmetic products.

There are methods for getting rid of excess hair. Cosmetologists practice a variety of techniques for removing excess hair. Replacing tweezers has become a reality. Plucking hair is no longer painful; manipulations are carried out at home. You don't have to spend money on expensive tools.

How to make aquarium tweezers

Owners of aquariums (especially tall ones) have probably often encountered the problem of needing to get something that accidentally fell to the bottom (feeder, thermometer, suction cup, flute, etc.).

for example), move the decoration, plant a small plant. Agree that it is very difficult to do this without getting your hands wet to the elbows. Long tweezers or forceps will help us with this, but this device is quite expensive in the store. I suggest making it yourself from scrap materials.

What you will need: 1. Two glazing beads 50-60 cm long, one 2x1 cm, the other 1x 1 cm. 2. Tweezers or tongs (preferably made of stainless steel) 3. Paper clips and a piece of thick single-core wire in insulation 4. Tools (pliers, screwdriver, an awl, a file, a drill with a 1-2 mm drill and scissors) 5. A piece of a plastic bottle 6. 3 short shurpas, 1 cm each. 7. Workplace and free time (wouldn’t hurt)

step 1 First of all, we assemble our workplace (I have 2 stools) and lay out all the components of our future tweezers on it (you can look for glazing beads on the balcony or in the closet :).

step 2 Straighten the paper clips to make a wire (you can just take a flexible wire). I think I’m strong enough to straighten the paperclip.

step 3 Next, using the resulting wire, we tightly screw our tweezers with pliers in two places at the end of our glazing bead (2x1) from the narrow end (1cm).

step 4 Drill a hole in the middle of the bead (as in the photo above, the leftmost bracket), step back 9 cm and drill another hole for the second bracket.

step 5 Drilled? Then let's continue. We apply the second bead (as in the photo in the third step or as in the diagram) so that the tweezers remain open. We insert a spacer to the size near the hole (I inserted a screwdriver) and twist the wire (we pass it through the hole and the upper bead, you can see it in the third photo) with pliers so that you get a rectangular bracket. The second end of the bead must be tied with electrical tape so that it does not dangle.

step 6 Screw on the second bracket, the gap should be slightly smaller than the first (I put a ballpoint pen there)

step 7 I make a pen. Using scissors, cut a 10x15 cm rectangle from a plastic bottle and wrap it around the end of the bead so that it becomes a handle. In this case, it is necessary to make sure that the double layer of plastic is on the side of the wide bead.

step 8 Next, heat the awl on a candle or gas and melt holes in the handle on the side of the wide bead.

step 9 We wrap the screws into a wide glazing bead (be careful not to mix it up!).

step 10 Making a finger brace. Take a piece of wire, bend the wire around your finger and leave a straight piece of 2.5 cm on each side, exposing these places.

step 11 Press on the narrow glazing bead so that the tweezers are completely compressed. And mark the place on the glazing bead in the center (deviating 2-3 mm from the end of the handle). We drill holes for the bracket. If there is too much sticking out, we saw it off and file it.

step 12 Insert the bracket into the holes and clamp it on the back side.

step 13 The tweezers are ready for use. To squeeze it, take it by the handle, insert your thumb into the bracket and press down, open it up.

All is ready! The whole job took me 20 minutes, so if you want, do it yourself...

Useful tips for plucking eyebrows at home

Listen to the advice of experienced brow stylists to get the perfect result:

  • Many people make a serious mistake: first they pluck one eyebrow, and then the other. This is more convenient, but there is a risk of getting uneven eyebrows. To keep them symmetrical, pluck them one at a time, a few hairs at a time.

  • You should not change the shape of your eyebrows often. This can be done no more than once a month, otherwise the hairs may stop growing. If this does happen, you can get Botox on your eyebrows. This procedure will restore its former density and strengthen existing hairs.

  • Try not to remove hairs above the eyebrow. They can only be plucked from below.
  • Do not try to make your eyebrows perfectly smooth and completely identical - this will look unnatural and catchy. Our face is asymmetrical, so moderate carelessness will only make it better.

  • Some people use a magnifying mirror to better see small hairs. However, it is better to use a regular mirror in which the face will be completely visible. This way you can control the process and avoid plucking too much. There will be no need for a magnifying mirror if you just stand near the window during the day - everything is clearly visible in natural light.
  • After plucking eyebrows, the skin is traumatized, so henna, paint, and even regular makeup can only be done after a couple of hours.

Forgot to lock the door or turn off the gas...

Ordinary, routine things do not leave a trace in our memory.

But if at that moment you said something, mumbled, hummed, or chatted with someone on the phone, that is, did something memorable, our brain, like a real computer, will definitely remember it. And if after a while - in anxiety - there are doubts whether you did everything right at that unconscious moment, your seemingly strange and inexplicable actions will emerge in your memory and reassure: everything is in order.

We select the shape of the eyebrows according to the type of face for proper plucking

Of course, natural beauty is good, but sometimes it happens that eyebrows are naturally very sparse and almost invisible. Others, on the contrary, have a desire to tidy them up and get rid of a lot of extra hairs.

In this case, before tinting or plucking your eyebrows, you need to decide which shape is suitable for your face type. The correct architecture of the eyebrows will not only make your eyes expressive, but will also correct the entire face as a whole.

  • Oval

This type of face is considered the most common. Those with an oval face need “straight” eyebrows, but with a slight rounding. Here it is important to find a middle ground: a sharp break will give the face severity, and high rounded eyebrows will stretch it out, which is very undesirable.

  • Round

Girls with a round face often try to add “sharpness” to it: they highlight the cheekbones, sometimes they don’t see the measures using contouring. However, it will be much better to transform your face if you make eyebrows of the correct shape.

They significantly influence the perception of a face. They should have a sharp corner and an expressive “tail”. This will give character to the facial expression and smooth out its “softness”, which some of its owners do not like.

  • Square

It is geometric and sharp, and the reason for this is its wide jaw. Eyebrows here should visually soften the face, so you can’t choose a sharp shape with corners. They should be round and smooth.

Also, those with a round face should not have threaded eyebrows, as this, on the contrary, will emphasize the angularity of the chin. The ideal is the average natural width.

  • Rectangular

This type of face is in many ways similar to a square one, the only difference is that the rectangular shape is a little more elongated. Therefore, the rule also applies here: eyebrows need to be plucked so that they are rounded, but you should not give them a high bend.

In addition, since the face is oblong, eyebrows should be kept moderately long.

  • Triangular

The most prominent feature here is the forehead. This happens because the face is narrowed at the chin, and the upper part of the face looks larger than the lower. The main task of the eyebrows in this case is to shift attention from the forehead and balance the parts of the face.

Eyebrow Fact

People have paid attention to the beauty of eyebrows since ancient times. Already 5,500 years ago, in Ancient Egypt there was a fashion for thickly lined, blackened eyebrows. And both for men and women.

The shape should not be straight; you should also try to lift the “tails” up to lengthen the eyebrows. The lowered corners will give the facial expression an upset look.

  • Diamond-shaped

Similar to the triangular face, but the diamond face is more angular. To prevent this from being too noticeable, eyebrow artists give the eyebrows a roundness. You can make a slight smooth bend, but it should not be sharp. The most suitable eyebrow shape for girls with a diamond-shaped face is arched.

Go through the eye of a needle

If you can't thread the needle, use an old toothbrush. In addition to the needle and thread, you will need another needle or something sharp, like a toothpick. The finest hair of the brush, white and strong, will play the role of the base. Place the thread on its surface and press it with the eye of the needle. When the thread passes through the hole, pick it up with a second needle and pull it out to the end.

The job was done, it turned out to be as easy as shelling pears...

How can you pluck eyebrows if you don’t have tweezers?

A popular question is how to pluck eyebrows if you don’t have tweezers. There are several optimal ways to pluck excess hair without tweezers. One popular option is thread removal. It is enough to find ordinary sewing thread made of cotton or nylon.


@prof.top

You will need about half a meter of thread, the ends of which are tied. The resulting ring should be twisted 5-7 times. The resulting figure eight is brought to the face, and due to the movement of the thread, excess hair is removed. The thread should be moved only against the growth of the eyebrow line. It is recommended to practice on your leg or arm first.

The procedure does not take much time, but it is painful. Thanks to manipulation, it is possible to remove not only fine and vellus hair, but also dead skin cells of the dermis, which promotes skin renewal.

If the eyebrows are a little thick and too short, wax can be used. The advantage is that the shaft is removed along with the hair follicle, which allows you to maintain a long-lasting effect of smooth skin. Can be used for any hair type.

The disadvantage of this method is that it leads to weakening of the rods and cessation of their growth. There is a risk of ingrown hairs and inflammation if you do not properly care for the treated area. Redness persists for a long time.

L - logic (employers)

In the wake of posts about the alternative logic of employers.

A former colleague tells how “whitey” left when he was very old.

I worked as an engineer, the salary was 45, there was no increase for several years. Tells the employer:

— Increase it to 50, otherwise I’ll quit

He reluctantly decided to say goodbye to his career as an engineer, studied to become an analyst, found a job, and wrote an application.

He began to transfer affairs to a newly hired person who came to take his place, but he was young, well, he wasn’t very good at all, his qualifications were frankly not enough for a leading engineer. The management shrugs: “Well, we only managed to find something like this.”

— How much salary did they give you?

Photoepilation

If you ask a professional cosmetologist what you can use to pluck your eyebrows other than tweezers, he will probably recommend photoepilation. After all, this method is considered one of the safest and most reliable. Its advantages include:

  • Can be used for any eyebrow, hardness and color do not matter.
  • My eyebrows become neat and take on the desired shape.
  • Absolutely painless and safe for the skin.

But the procedure is complex and it will not be possible to perform it at home without equipment. There are also other disadvantages:

  • Before your first session, you will have to undergo tests and consult with a cosmetologist.
  • You cannot carry out the procedure if you have already used other hair removal methods before.
  • The procedure is contraindicated for pregnant and lactating girls.
  • Photoepilation is also prohibited for those who have built-in electronic devices in their bodies.

It must be said that in recent years home photoepilators have begun to appear on store shelves. They are more expensive than their usual counterparts, but such a device will help you get rid of unwanted hair all over your body painlessly.

How to prepare for the correction procedure?

It’s easy to prepare for eyebrow correction using tweezers. First of all, you need to prepare the tweezers and make sure that the instrument is sharpened and disinfected.

Tweezers can be sharpened by a specialist or independently using sandpaper. To do this, rub the tips of the tweezers with a piece of sandpaper. In this case, you should act carefully, avoiding the appearance of nicks and irregularities. Sharpening must be done at least once every six months or more often as necessary.

To disinfect, simply wipe the tips of the tweezers with any disinfectant, such as alcohol or lotion. This should be done before and after each procedure.

When the tweezers are prepared, you need to wash off all makeup from the eyebrow area and disinfect the skin in the working area. After this, you can begin the correction procedure.

Such a grandmother cannot be trusted with children

I went up to the second floor and pressed the elevator button. This is a funny house, almost the only one in Moscow. At least, I have never seen such buildings again. I'm going up to the 8th floor. The reason for the call was unremarkable: a stomach ache, a 13-year-old child. Grandma is calling. I'm calling.

— Ambulance, did you call? - and I grumble to myself: “Well, who else are they waiting for? Well, pizza, no less!”

“Come in, just put on your shoe covers, if you don’t have them, I can offer you slippers,” says a woman of about 65, who seemed good-natured to me at first glance.

“I have my own,” I answer, putting shoe covers on my shoes. Although you don't have to.

“Doctor, I prepared a towel for you, you can wash your hands here,” he points to the bathroom.

After washing my hands, I go into a fairly large, bright room. There is a carpet on the floor, beautiful furniture, a plasma screen on the wall, a closet and a chest of drawers, filled with countless trinkets. In general, expensive and rich. However, this is not relevant to the point, I condemned myself.

I see a skinny guy lying on the sofa. There is a basin on the floor nearby. I don’t immediately like its contents - a dark brown slurry, the color and consistency are similar to coffee grounds.

The eyes fixate: the guy is conscious, his skin is pale, he is lying on his left side, slightly holding his stomach. Remnants of this dark liquid can be seen in the corners of the mouth.

“Just now,” the woman answered.

“My father died, and my mother is now on a business trip, earning money so that we can live well.” But this idiot doesn’t want to understand anything, he’s self-willed,” the woman began to cry, and the guy grimaced. “So,” I think, “she got him without his mother.”

Since the child has not reached the age of 14 and at the time of the call there were no parents or guardians/official representatives with him, and the grandmother, although a relative, de jure cannot influence the provision of medical care in any way, all decisions will be made by me, as Responsible for the brigade.

- What’s your name, what, how and where does it hurt?

“Vanya, my stomach hurts, right here,” he points to the epigastric region.

- No, my grandmother gave me a pill, it’s already going away, but I’m feeling very sick and vomiting. This one,” he points to the basin with his finger. “I’m still very dizzy.”

- Like what? “Aspirin” is also a painkiller, but I still called you to be on the safe side.

I froze for a second, thinking: “Well, little star, this is a DISASTER.”

— Did you go to the toilet a lot? - I ask, treating my hands with an antiseptic and putting on gloves, asking the boy to turn on his back, placing a “snowball” (cryopack) on his epigastric area, after breaking it on his knee and starting a chemical reaction in him so that he instantly becomes icy.

“I don’t know,” the grandmother answers, spreading her hands.

- Yes, at school, I went when my stomach started hurting and I wanted to.

- Black, porridge, but not very liquid.

I interview the patient, measuring blood pressure and saturation along the way. Oh, damn, 80/60. And the saturation remains at 94%.

- Van, didn’t you fall on your stomach? Didn't anyone hit you? Did you receive any injury?

- Van, tell me, did you approach the nurse at school?

-Yes, I told her that my stomach hurts and I feel nauseous.

“Did you tell her that you went to the toilet and the color was black?”

- She said that she would call my grandmother, warn her and the teacher, and that I could go home.

— And they didn’t even call an ambulance?

— And the teacher wasn’t interested in what was wrong with you and why?

- Yes, she asked. I replied that my stomach hurts. That's all. She called my grandmother and told me to go home right away.

It was clear in my eyes: what nonsense. Schools often call an ambulance for various nonsense, which are not at all life-threatening conditions, but here they missed such a pathology.

I continue the survey, palpating the abdomen - it was slightly painful and the boy reacted slightly when I touched the epigastric region.

— Does the boy have peptic ulcers of the stomach and duodenum? Chronic diseases? Allergies to medications?

- Oh, doctor, come on, I’ll call your mother via video call, and ask her everything.

“Okay,” I agreed, already placing a cubital catheter in the left cubital vein.

“Natasha,” the grandmother’s voice was heard, “talk to the doctor.”

I repeated the questions I asked my grandmother.

- No, there are no allergies, he didn’t get sick with anything, well, except for chickenpox and measles, that was when he was 4 years old and at 8 years old. And so everything was fine. - the supposed mother of the patient answered me.

“What about him, what do you want to do?” she asked worriedly.

“So, look, the boy needs urgent medical evacuation to a hospital.” He has gastrointestinal bleeding, I don’t know where it came from, his condition is stable and serious,” I explain, injecting a hemostatic solution and preparing an IV with “physa”.

- What's this? Does he need surgery?

“I can’t tell you for sure, but I can assure you that I’ll take you through the intensive care unit to surgery, later I’ll tell you where.”

The boy's mother agreed and asked to do everything possible to save her son and promised Vanya that she would return to Moscow on the first plane.

The conversation was over, I had already installed an IV and called the driver Yura to bring a stretcher, oxygen and an ECG monitor.

As soon as I hung up, my grandmother stood at the door of the room, her face changing in seconds. She looked stern, I would even say threatening.

“I won’t give you my grandson to the hospital,” she suddenly told me, “you will heal him there, but I have him alone.” I called you so that treatment could be prescribed. So appoint and leave, we can handle it ourselves. Now I’ll brew some medicinal herbs, juice, compote, and some porridge, otherwise the child has been hungry all day and hasn’t eaten anything.

I sit on a chair with my eyes wide open and my mouth slightly hanging open. It was difficult to say who was paler at that moment, me or the boy. Taken aback for a second, I answer:

- Do you understand that he has internal bleeding? That black stool is feces mixed with blood, that this vomiting, by and large, is blood mixed with gastric contents. He looks so pale, his blood pressure is low. Are you aware of what you are saying? Do you understand that by delaying, you are not leaving him a chance? He'll just die! - I say in a raised voice.

-Are you taking me for a fool? At 70, I don’t know what color blood is? - she’s red, doctor, if you don’t know, then what do you know? He’s so young, they’ll hire just anyone for an ambulance, worse than migrant workers in clinics, ugh,” the grandmother waved her hand.

I think to myself: “Surely a fool! That means 70. However, her insanity began early.”

The intercom rings, it seems to be Yura. Grandma (now that’s the only way I called her to myself), flying up to the intercom, shouts:

— San, what’s going on there?

- Yuri, wait a moment. Sit in the car, I'll call you. - I hang up.

Grandma begins to angrily throw out at me everything she thinks about Russian medicine. And then he continues:

— My daughter entrusted me with her grandson, so that I wouldn’t protect her? Yes, I was a kindergarten teacher, I devoted 30 years to this profession, why can’t I cope with my grandson? Give it to you in the hospital - they'll kill you! She stood in the doorway, almost completely blocking it. Let's say the grandmother was very broad-boned, her fists clenched furiously. “A little more,” I thought, “he’ll start beating me.”

As a rule, we often end up on calls from “yazh-mothers,” but here, probably, the first such precedent arose in my work - I ended up with a “yazh-grandmother.” Well, yes, I was told that such a phenomenon happens, but I have never encountered it. Well, there is a first time for everything (pah-pah-pah over the left shoulder

I think feverishly - I can’t rinse it, the Aspirin has long dissolved, it makes the situation worse, but, most likely, it’s not the reason, since the grandmother gave it to her grandson after returning from school. She's just making things worse now.

Medical evacuation is urgently needed. While I figure out what to do, I continue to drip the boy. Grandma calls 03 and is already complaining about me with might and main. A couple of minutes later the senior doctor at the substation calls me:

“Sasha,” says Mikhail Borisovich, “what’s going on on your call?”

I report to him about the current situation.

He spoke to her over the speakerphone, convincing her that the boy needed inpatient help urgently! There was only one answer - “no”.

I take the phone from my grandmother, turn off the speakerphone, and the senior doctor tells me:

- Call the police with a reason: deliberate obstruction in providing medical care to a child, requiring immediate intervention in order to save life.

- You are alone? Should I send you a medical team?

- Yes, she doesn’t even open the door and that’s it.

“Well, you’re not going to fight with her, calm down, you’re doing everything right, then you’ll write it on the map.” All information is recorded, conversations too. In general, provide assistance on the spot, wait for the brigade and call the police.

- Thank you, Mikhail Borisovich, I understand you.

I call the police in front of my grandmother and explain to them word for word, as the senior doctor told me. Grandma just grins. Then I turn to the woman:

“The child needs oxygen and more solutions, I gave him everything I had with me,” I point to the empty bottles. - Let the driver in.

- Okay, but I won’t give you my grandson.

I call Yura, tell him to bring oxygen - 2 cylinders of 2 liters each (with a reserve) and several bottles of solutions, a couple of “snowballs”, an ECG monitor, a children’s repair kit (just in case), since it is not known how long I will be here be. He gave them to the grandmother at the door, she did not let him into the room and immediately closed the door in front of his perplexed face.

Having established oxygen support and applied the electrodes of the ECG monitor, I removed the film - in general, it is quite good, considering its age. Only the heart rate is over a hundred.

- So what, you took me hostage? - I ask the angry grandmother.

- No, you can go, but my grandson will stay here.

- Call your daughter, let me talk to her!

“There’s no need to waste money on empty chatter, as I said, it will be so!” My house! I am the mistress here, I do what I want.

Yes, they fight with relatives of patients only in films and TV series, but this is not done in real life. Well, we're waiting for the police.

About 10 minutes later the intercom rang.

- I won’t let you in, leave. There is already one.

2 minutes later the manager calls me back.

— Sash, the senior doctor explained the situation to me in general, how is the patient’s condition?

— Heavy, but stable, the pressure has increased, but evacuation is still necessary.

- Yes, this is not even discussed. So, look, our “nine” has come to you, they are waiting below. They said they weren't allowed in.

- What does a woman even want? Does she give help? Doesn't it bother you?

- No, assistance is provided in accordance with the algorithms, even the driver was allowed to bring oxygen.

— Mikhail Borisovich told me that she gave him Aspirin?

- Oh, damn it, time flies, it runs... Okay, are there no police yet?

- In general, stay in touch, if anything happens, call.

I hang up. At that moment the intercom rang again.

Grandma picks up the intercom.

“I didn’t call the police,” she began, but suddenly stopped. I don’t know what or how they told her, but she opened the entrance door. After a short time, the doorbell rang. - Open up, police.

“I won’t open it,” the grandmother screams in hysterics.

- Open up or we'll break the door open.

He opens it with a dissatisfied face. The apartment includes 4 police officers, as well as our “nine” - the resuscitation team.

While I am reporting to the doctor about the boy’s condition and the manipulations I performed, the grandmother yells that she will not give her grandson anywhere, then she contacts the mother. She is shocked and demands that she not interfere with the doctors. But the grandmother stands her ground. In general, she began to push everyone away, and the 02 employees had to literally slightly restrict her freedom, to put it mildly. No, no one beat her, but they made it so that she stopped resisting.

The child’s condition was already stable at this moment, the pressure was 110/70, which is the norm for this age, no longer pale, slightly pink, with good saturation of 98%, not on oxygen, the pulse, of course, was partial, but vomiting and bowel movements was not observed. Legally, I handed the patient over to another team and could have left, but I quickly collected the packing, garbage and empty oxygen cylinders from the Kree-1, lowered their car and returned to help carry the boy out. Floor 8, there is an elevator, but not a freight elevator, but a passenger elevator.

I helped them get the boy down, two policemen stayed with the grandmother, and two others helped us with transportation, for which we are very grateful to them. And they arrived quickly. Therefore, since then my generally good opinion about the work of the police has been strengthened. It’s true what they say: “My police are protecting me.”

After all the events, I returned to the substation to replenish the stowage and take new oxygen cylinders. I had 24 hours, but that night, to my great joy, the number 2 paramedic came to me. In the morning I sat in the manager’s office and wrote a really kilometer-long explanatory note about the situation that arose during this call, because, most likely, the investigative committee will request the explanatory note and the call card. A week later, the senior doctor called the hospital and found out that the boy was alive, had undergone surgery, but continued to remain in the intensive care unit, because due to the crazy grandmother and her treatment, obstacles to hospitalization, the boy’s health situation had become more complicated.

Then, a few days later, the boy’s mother came to the substation. This was the first time in my practice that a relative came to the PS for my soul. I was just at lunch, and I heard the manager calling me. I enter the office and see an unfamiliar woman. She introduces herself and hands me 3 tea cakes and a can of good instant coffee. She thanked me and everyone who saved her son for a long time. She thanked him for not leaving him. How could it be different? This is not according to instructions, and not humane!

Anesthesia of the procedure

Often the eyebrow plucking procedure causes pain.

The pain is tolerable, but people with a low pain threshold are recommended to use the following tips to reduce discomfort:

  • wipe the skin with an ice cube wrapped in cellophane or make cold lotions;
  • generously lubricate the skin around the eyebrows with a rich cream with chamomile or calendula;
  • 30 minutes before the procedure, treat the area with unwanted hairs with lidocaine cream (for example, Emla), however, this can only be done if you are not allergic to this drug;
  • make corrections after taking a bath or visiting a sauna, when the skin pores are open.

When engineers thought about how to combine tweezers and a soldering iron, they appeared. Essentially these are two soldering irons connected like two parts of tweezers. Such devices cost about $50.

These thermal tweezers are convenient for soldering and soldering small two-terminal elements: resistors, capacitors and surface-mount coils. True, in order not to overheat the elements when soldering, you still need to lift them using ordinary tweezers.


This concludes my Top 5 best tweezers for soldering. With questions in the comments or on .

Results

The tweezers work. However, if you have the opportunity to purchase a cheaper aquarium compressor of 4-5 watts, then after the modification it will not work much worse. True, I’m not sure that any compressor can be converted as easily as the one I came across :)

Solder paste

On a tip from a friend, I took two syringes of paste from the same seller (a friend, however, gave a review of such a paste in jars) - aliexpress.com/item/2PCS-XG-Z40-10CC-MECHANIC-Solder-Flux-Solder-Paste- with-Free-Needle/32321157192.html I got it for $7.48 for two syringes.:)
In short, the paste works, melts quite well in the oven, and spreads well over the pads and terminals. But I still have a vague feeling that this is not quite what it says on the label. Firstly, there is a lot of air in it, which means they filled it into syringes by hand. Secondly, there is no production date or expiration date anywhere, and such things must be indicated. In general, I suspect that it’s like with the famous AMTECH - they pour into syringes everything and anything that was at hand, then they stick labels and sell it. That’s all, thanks for reading (if you read it):)

Possible complications

When plucking eyebrows with a thread, there are no complications, since the risk of injury to the skin is minimized. The only drawback of this procedure is considered to be the incorrect implementation of the technology, as a result of which the eyebrows will be given a poor shape.

The following complications may occur when using wax depilation:

  • allergic reaction or irritation to wax;

  • deformation of the skin, supplemented by the appearance of scars;
  • burns if the temperature of the hot wax exceeds the permissible level.

If sugaring is performed incorrectly, side effects may occur in the form of redness or irritation of the skin. Some girls may experience an allergic reaction to certain components of sugar paste. This mainly applies to ready-made cosmetic formulations that contain various chemicals.

To prevent allergic reactions, it is recommended to initially perform the test on a less visible area of ​​the skin. If there are no side effects, the composition can be used. Plucking eyebrows without tweezers is considered a common method of removing unnecessary hair. There are several ways to properly correct hair, which can be used not only in a beauty salon, but also at home.

How long will the results last?

When plucking excess vegetation with a thread, the procedure must be carried out once every 3 weeks. Otherwise, hair growth will be very slow, which will negatively affect the shape.

The result after sugaring and waxing will last for 2-6 weeks. However, a more accurate figure will depend on the individual hair growth rate.

There is no need for correction, since after a certain period of time it is necessary to perform the procedure again. Correction with sugar paste or wax should be carried out according to the degree of growth of the bristles to the required length, but not more than once every 7 days.

Contraindications

It is not recommended to pluck hair during menstruation, because sensitivity increases during this period of time. As a result, the procedure will be more painful.

Eyebrow plucking is contraindicated if you have the following problems:

  • phlebeurysm;
  • herpes;
  • ulcers;
  • infectious diseases of the skin;
  • skin formations on the supraorbital arches in the form of warts, papillomas;
  • redness, swelling and inflammation on the brow ridge.

How to choose the right tool for manipulation

At first glance, the process of forming a line by plucking individual hairs may seem simple. But in reality, this procedure requires certain skills and the availability of high-quality tools. Therefore, the question of which tweezers are best for eyebrow correction is by no means idle.

Among all the existing modifications of this type of instrumentation, tweezers with pointed or beveled ends are most suitable for giving the desired shape to the eyebrows. It is this model that will ensure the safety of manipulation by a person who has no experience. But even with a successful choice of tool, you need to know how to hold tweezers when correcting eyebrows, so as not to accidentally damage the skin and achieve maximum results. You need to hold the tool, stepping back a little (3-4 cm) from its edge with sliding legs.

In addition to this characteristic, the tool must have a number of other qualities:

  1. Material of manufacture. Stainless steel tweezers are practical, they withstand disinfection, but most importantly, they make it easier to grab hairs.
  2. Ease of use. A tool that allows you to manipulate it freely, with straight legs, is suitable for the procedure.
  3. The tips of the tweezers should touch tightly and be well sharpened.
  4. The surface of the product should not have defects in the form of nicks and roughness.

Anyone who knows how to choose tweezers for eyebrow correction will be able to correctly navigate the variety of assortments of this product category.

Important! A high-quality instrument will eliminate accidental injuries during the procedure and minimize pain.

Eyebrow correction with tweezers: technology

The whole process is divided into several stages. It is very important to follow the sequence of manipulation. This will avoid unforeseen complications and get the desired result. If necessary, watch how eyebrow correction is carried out with tweezers - video training is presented below.

Choosing tweezers based on the type of needlework

When you need to create perfect lines from tape, dip a piece into glue and paint without getting your hands dirty, or simply pick up a small object and set it in place, tweezers come to the rescue. The main thing is to choose the right one for each task.

For working in the kazansha technique

The Japanese kazanshi needlework technique involves modeling floral elements from satin ribbons. By folding and gluing small pieces of different colors, craftswomen assemble real masterpieces.

Most often, the finished product is presented in the shape of a flower, decorated with beads, which is used in decorating hair clips, creating brooches and headbands. By collecting flowers in bouquets, you can decorate fruit baskets or wall compositions.

Each petal of such a flower consists of small pieces of satin ribbons folded in a certain way. Kazashi tweezers are used to grab and hold the tape in the desired position.

For flame finishing the edge of a flap, it is convenient to use a curved clamp, but for folding the petal and creating clear, straight lines, a reverse clamp is best suited. It is capable of not only pressing the fabric tightly in a certain position, but also holding it there without any effort on the part of the needlewoman.

convenient for kanzashi varies from 15 to 25 cm . These tweezers fit well in the hand, have decent weight and durability.

For diamond embroidery

Diamond embroidery is a mosaic of rhinestones glued to canvas. This is a relatively new direction in needlework, but is already very popular. As a rule, embroidery is presented in ready-made kits, which already include everything necessary for work, including tweezers.

The shape of tweezers for diamond mosaics depends on the preferences of the craftswoman and the ease of performing a particular element. As a rule, a classic or curved clamp is used.

For assembling jewelry and jewelry

A fascinating type of needlework - creating jewelry items, brooches, hairpins, necklaces, with the right approach can be quite a profitable activity. But to do this seriously you need a quality tool.

In this type of creativity, tweezers are used to grab and hold small pieces of jewelry: beads, beads and jewelry rhinestones. Here it is most convenient to use a curved clamp or a straight one in the shape of a spatula.

Separately, you need to pay attention to a special device for working with connecting rings. It looks like ordinary straight tweezers, but one of the “sponges” has a pronounced bend, which is necessary for opening different types of rings.

When choosing tweezers for making jewelry, attention is paid to the quality of the metal, since it is needed primarily for working with hard plastic, stone and metal elements.

For burning using guilloche technique

Guilloche is a technique for creating lace on synthetic fabric using high heat. For this purpose, fabric burners with a large number of attachments are used. The main condition is a synthetic fabric base.

Working with high temperatures and the need to quickly move heated fabric from place to place requires the use of tweezers to protect your hands. Also, using the tool, it is convenient to move small parts or dip the fabric in glue.

When choosing tweezers for guilloche, you should pay attention to the tight connection of the “sponges” , since most often you have to grab thin fabrics in one or two layers. It is important that the material is clamped tightly and does not slip out.

Use in other types of needlework

At the initial stage of mastering one method or another, it may seem that a clamp is not needed, but the more complex the level of performance, the more various devices and tools are required.

Tweezers are used in needlework with beads, decoupage, parchment crafting, modeling from polymer clay and many other types of creativity. In complex products with a large number of small parts, clamping is indispensable. For any job, it is extremely important that the tool is convenient and reliable.
