subject: What's The Best Hair Removal System Out There? [print this page] If you want to get rid of unwanted body hair, there are lots of different hair removal assistance to choose from, whether you want to get the hair off your legs, underarms, arms or back. Below, we list several ways you can do this.
Plucking. This is a very common hair removal method. It is mostly used in shaping the eye brows and removing unwanted hair in the underarms. With this method, you can only get rid of one hair at a time so it really is time consuming. In addition, plucking can be quite painful and can sometimes cause ingrown hairs. You may not prefer this method but keeping a pair of tweezers can sometimes save the day.
Shaving: Shaving is a very easy way to get rid of unwanted hair, and is a pretty good hair removal system. Because hair grows back quickly, though, you'll need to do this almost daily. Shaving properly doesn't cause any pain, but if you shave incorrectly, you could cut yourself, cause razor burns, or cause ingrown hairs.
Waxing. This method is used by many women especially in removing unwanted hair in the underarm and legs. The wax is spread over the skin with a paper or cloth on top of it. By the time the wax cools, the paper or cloth is stripped away together with the hair. This can be really painful at first, but in time you'll get used to the sensation. There are waxing kits available in the market so you can do it yourself. The good thing about this method is that the hair doesn't grow back as fast as shaving and waxing can be done bi-monthly.
Threading: Threading is new to the Western world, because this is a method usually used in the Middle East. With a twisted thread, the hair is trapped and then pulled out of the hair follicle. It's very similar to plucking, only more hairs are removed at once. Professionals are best used for this hair removal system.
Depilatory: A depilatory is chemical hair removal system, usually containing calcium thioglycolate. This weakens the hair and it can then be simply scraped off. It's simple to use; you just put the depilatory on, leave it for a few minutes, and then simply wipe off the hair. This is quite a painless hair removal system, but it does have some drawbacks, including possible allergic reactions, and unpleasant odor, and possible ingrown hairs.
Depilatory: A depilatory utilizes chemicals in the hair removal system, and usually uses calcium thioglycolate. This weakens the hair so that it can simply be wiped off. A depilatory is simple to use as a hair removal system. You just apply the depilatory, wait for a few minutes, and then just wipe the hair away. It's pretty painless as a hair removal system, too, but it has some drawbacks in that there may be some allergic reactions, possible ingrown hairs or danger, and unpleasant odor usually exists.
Laser hair removal: This is another relatively new hair removal system. A beam of laser light is trained on the hair follicle and damages it. This method utilizes the melanin in the hair follicle, though, so it's not particularly effective for gray or white hair. A professional dermatologist should utilize this hair removal system, and he or she should be very well trained in it. If this isn't done properly, skin around the hair removal area could be damaged permanently.
Whichever hair removal method you prefer, weigh the pros and cons for each. It is important that you choose one which will not result in further problems such as rashes (for people who have sensitive skin). As for my choice, no!no! is worth trying because it is painless and easy to use.
