Karvatõmbaja

Karvatõmbaja is an Estonian term that translates to "hair puller" or "plucker." It most commonly refers to a tool used for removing unwanted hair, particularly from the eyebrows or face. These tools typically consist of a pair of tweezers or forceps designed for precision. The primary function of a karvatõmbaja is to grasp individual hairs and extract them from the root.

The design of a karvatõmbaja can vary, but most feature pointed or angled tips to facilitate accurate plucking. They are often made of metal, such as stainless steel, which is durable and easy to clean. The ergonomics of the handles can also differ, with some designed for a comfortable grip to prevent slippage during use.

Karvatõmbajad are a common grooming tool found in many households. Their use is generally straightforward, involving the careful selection and extraction of hairs. While primarily associated with cosmetic purposes like shaping eyebrows, they can also be used for removing stray hairs elsewhere on the body. The term itself emphasizes the action performed by the tool, highlighting its specific function in personal grooming.
