Place your fingers firmly around the wart. You want to make sure it is not going to move when you are attempting to pull the hair out. The faster you can get the hair out, the better.

Grip the hair with a sturdy pair of tweezers. Try to grip the hair as close to the base as possible for the best results. Turn the tweezers at a 90-degree angle to the hair to help improve your grip. Try to make your grip on the hair as sturdy as possible. You want it to come out in one try instead of simply pulling the hair without removing it, which can cause unnecessary pain and irritation.

Pull the tweezers in one quick movement. Try to ensure the hair comes out as straight as possible. This will increase your chances of damaging the root so that the hair does not grow back. Scan the area around the hair closely to ensure you didn't merely break it off. Remove any remainders of the hair you can find to the best of your ability.

Soak a cotton swab in alcohol and wipe it across the wart. This will help fight any infection from occurring after the hair is gone. Continue to swab your wart with alcohol for the next three nights.

Tips & Warnings
Bleaching is always a viable alternative to wart hair removal. Bleaching does not remove the hair, but it lightens the color, which makes it less noticeable.
You might want to apply hydrating location to the wart a little while before you remove the hair. The lotion may loosen up the hair and make it less painful to remove.
Under no circumstances should you try to wax away a wart hair. Wax strips should never meet anything but smooth skin. Using wax on a wart could lead to an irritating injury.
