1. A system comprising:
a first electrode;
a DC voltage module electrically coupled to the first electrode, and configured to provide a first potential at the first electrode; and
a second electrode spaced from the first electrode, the second electrode disposed and configured to be electrically coupled to a ground,
wherein the first electrode is disposed on a first elongate member and the second electrode is disposed on a second elongate member, the second elongate member movably coupled to the first elongate member and configured to provide relative movement of the first and second electrodes relative to each other between a first configuration in which the first electrode is spaced a first distance from the second electrode such that a section of hair can be arranged between the first electrode and the second electrode, and a second configuration in which the first electrode is spaced a second non-zero distance from the second electrode, the second distance less than the first distance.
