hair stuck in elbows?

[bullylover21]

So I'm sitting here plucking cockapoo hair out of my elbows. You know, when those teeny tiny bits of hair that go right into the skin and itch like crazy! lol, my bf walked in on me earlier with the tweezers to my elbow and was like "what in the world are you doing!!" This happens to me almost eveyday and its getting quite painful. Is there anything I can do to prevent this or make it easier/less painful to remove it? please help!

Try coating your self in baby powder

Do a search! There are several threads about hair splinters and ways to remove them, and prevent them!

I had 4 huge fat springers (80 lbs!!) last friday and wow I was picking out hair splinters all night. Springer/cocker hair is the worst for hair splinters for me!

Use tape; masking tape, packing tape, duct tape, whatever. gently press it to your skin and pull it off.

I tried the duck tape today and it worked perfectly!
