What is claimed is: 1. An epilation head for an epilation device particularly for plucking hair from human skin having a rotating cylinder rotating around a rotational axis having a number of plucking units for grasping and plucking out hair, wherein each plucking unit comprises a movable clamping unit, a stationary clamping unit, wherein the movable clamping unit and the stationary clamping unit form a closable plucking gap, wherein the movable clamping unit has a hair guiding device which is associated with the movable clamping unit. 2. The epilation head according to claim 1 , in which the hair guiding device is attached to the top of the movable clamping unit. 3. The epilation head according to claim 1 , in which the hair guiding device comprises a recess. 4. The epilation head according to claim 1 , in which the hair guiding device comprises at least one raised portion. 5. The epilation head according to claim 1 , having an additional movable clamping unit, wherein the additional movable clamping unit forms an additional closable plucking gap with the movable clamping unit, and the additional movable clamping unit also has a hair guiding device which moves with the additional movable clamping unit. 6. The epilation head according to claim 1 , in which the clamping units are made of plastic. 7. The epilation head according to claim 1 , having a surface and elevations above that surface wherein the surface is at a base level and wherein the average height of the elevations above said base level defines an elevation level, the epilation head having a diameter defined by peripherally opposed points of the elevation level, wherein the elevation level has a distance from the base level of less than about 10% or less than about 5% of the diameter. 8. An epilation device, in particular for plucking out hair from human skin, having a handheld housing and a motor-driven epilation head, wherein the epilation head has a rotating cylinder rotating around a rotational axis having a number of plucking units for grasping and plucking out hair, wherein each plucking unit comprises a movable clamping unit, a stationary clamping unit, wherein the movable clamping unit and the stationary clamping unit form a closable plucking gap, wherein the movable clamping unit has a hair guiding device which is associated with the movable clamping unit.
