When you pluck hairs, you are pulling them out of their follicles. This literally rips the root of the hair out. Since you have nerve ending all over your skin and body, you feel this happening and it can hurt a little. Putting ice or warmwater (warm water helps to make the hairs easier and less painful ot pull out) can help with the pain. Afterwards, cold milk and ice can help to relieve pain and redness, too.
