Hair Removal
Whether it’s shaving, tweezing or waxing, the majority of us are constantly fighting the battle to remove unwanted hair. There are so many different types of hair removal products/methods on the market today that it is nearly impossible to choose one.
Before we get into the types of hair removal, let’s find out about the types of hair we have. There are two types of hair, terminal and vellus. Terminal hair is dark, coarse and long. This type of hair is the hair we grow on our heads. It is also on the pubic region and armpits. Men also have this type of hair on their face, chest, legs and back. Terminal hair protects and cushions the skin.
Vellus hair is fine, soft and short. Many women have vellus hair on their face, back and chest. Vellus hair provides insulation and helps the body maintain a steady temperature.
Now that we’ve learned about the two different types of hair, let’s explore the different types of hair removal. There are several different methods of hair removal, each with different degrees of effectiveness and ease of use. The different methods of hair removal are: shaving, tweezing, depilatory cream, waxing, electrolysis and laser hair removal.
Shaving is one of the most common forms of hair removal. It’s easy to do and not very time-consuming. The results usually lasts between 1-3 days. Some of the draw-backs are: cuts, razor burn and bumps.
For longer lasting results, some people turn to tweezing. The results can last from 3-8 weeks. Some of the disadvantages of tweezing are that it is time-consuming , you can develop ingrown hairs and it can be painful. The areas generally tweezed are the upper lip, eyebrows and chin.
Depilatory creams remove hair from the skin’s surface by breaking down the bonds that give the hair it’s strength. This disintegrates the hair so that it can be rinsed or wiped away. The results can last for several days or up to 2 weeks. Depilatory creams are simple to use, however, some people may have a reaction to the chemicals in the cream. This could result in a rash or inflammation.
Like tweezing, waxing can produce some long lasting results, from 3-6 weeks. Warm or cold wax is spread on the skin over the unwanted hair. Then a cloth strip is placed on top of the wax and pulled off quickly, thus removing the unwanted hair. This can be a very painful process and can leave your skin red and inflamed. Hair must be about 1/4 of an inch thick to get the best results.
With electrolysis, a needle is inserted into the hair follicle and an electric current is sent to the root of the hair. This current kills the hair root. Results from electrolysis can be permanent, if done correctly by a professional. Some of the disadvantages are that it is very time-consuming and can be painful.
Laser hair removal is another long lasting method of hair removal. The results can last up to 6 months. A laser is aimed through the skin to the hair follicle where it stops hair growth. Large areas can be done at one time. Laser hair removal can be expensive and like other hair removal methods, can cause redness and inflammation.
Blade
Advantages: There are now new types of blades for female hair removal, which is perfectly adapted to the parts of our body and include a lubricant material (usually of aloe) in the base, leaving the skin smooth and moisturized. Furthermore after you remove the hair can apply a post-depilatory cream that will calm you. This typed of hair removal does not remove a lot of time, because only you have to apply to the skin and shave. There are products suitable for sensitive skin and reduce the risk of allergy to this type of hair removal.
Disadvantages: This method does not start from the root hair, but it shaved at skin level. I only recommend this method of hair removal in case of emergency, as the hair comes out more strongly, although not as much is said. Hair grows an average of 6.3 millimeters per month in the armpits and twice as fast, so i do not recommend this as a method of hair removal.
Hair removal cream
Advantages: It is a quick hair removal technique (5-8 minutes), painless and comfortable. There are also special creams for sensitive skin. With this method of hair removal there is no risk of skin cuts and it stays soft for longer as hair growth is softer and the skin is better hydrated. Previously, some creams irritated skin and even had a rather unpleasant odor, which has been fixed to be enriched with soothing and assets using perfumes with hiding power and stability.
Disadvantages: If you exceed the recommended waiting time to fold the cream, you may cause redness. Like the shaving knife, cut the hair but it started to root, although it is less aggressive.
Wax
Advantages: The warm wax leaves the skin red and it is recommended for women with circulatory problems. Requiring a minimum heating, can be done even in the microwave and is soluble in water, it is easy to remove. You can use the bands for your hair removal wax ready to use, you do not need heat. Only rubbing their hands, apply on the skin firmly and remove with a quick movement. They are easy to use, any place and occasion. As they have the same skin temperature, they are very good for people with circulatory problems. This is a very effective, plus durable. And you can wax at home and in professional beauty centers.
Disadvantages: In general, since wax is cold, warm or hot, this method is quite painful because the hair root starts.
Electric razor
Advantages: It is a very effective method of hair removal which removes the hair root through a series of small forceps. As the first models were quite painful, the new hair now employ the new distribution systems such as tweezers, massage or cool accessories.They are fast, comfortable and clean. As extracted from the hair root, if used every four weeks, hair will gradually decline as some call this method as semi-permanent. At present they have accessories like special heads for sensitive areas and to exfoliate the skin beforehand.
Disadvantages: This method does not peel like a wax and a few hairs tend to remain in some areas where the skin is thicker. Can be painful if you have much hair. Currently they are not as advanced to use in sensitive areas, although some include special devices that shave instead of pluck.
Laser
Advantages: It is the revolution that liberates women problems with hair wax, blades, razors…lasting, painless and apparently safe. It was initially advised three to four sessions and now the average is about eight intervals of 2-3 months, although this always depends on the type of hair and the treatment area.
Disadvantages: It is too early to know whether this is truly the definitive hair removal technique. The sessions can last from a few minutes to an hour, depending on the treated area. The biggest difficulty with the laser method is not only that the hair contains melanin, but also the skin. The eyebrow is an area not recommended because of its proximity to the eyes (requiring special protection). The sensation is similar to a burn, but being fast and better tolerated. People with darker skin feel a little tingling or itching. For highly sensitive to pain it is recommended to apply an anesthetic cream two hours before treatment. Immediately after the application of the laser. This is the most expensive method of hair removal.
