Shaving, Plucking, Waxing, Laser: Which Is The Best Hair Removal Method?
Hair protected prehistoric humans. A plentiful growth acted as a blockade against crawling insects venturing to crawl into bodily crevices; hair also gave warmth and shade. Some people have more than an ample growth while others have them only in tufts or patches.
Nonetheless, in this day and age where humans now generally live indoors, a surfeit of hair has come to be viewed as something undesirable. In women, hair found in the underarms, legs, bikini line, neck, and/or face is not only undesirable but is thought of as a reflection of the state of a woman’s personal hygiene.
The repulsiveness of excess body hair has become an issue for many women; thence, many hair removal products and methods are out in the market to clear away this “hairy” issue.
Shaving offers a short-term solution to the excessive hair growth problem. Nevertheless, it is considered the most practical method of hair removal.
Tweezing is another hair removal method seen to be better at keeping hair regrowth to a minimum. However, it is thought to be very time-consuming because one needs to pluck out the hair strand one by one. Another thing to consider if you often pluck your hairs: There is a growing number of proof pointing to plucking as the cause of infected hair shafts.
Another hair removal method is waxing. Waxing strips are warmed and then put on the legs. The hair strands stick to the soft warm wax. Once cool enough, the strips are pulled off (basically in the opposite direction of hair growth); the hairs are pulled up from their follicles.
Laser is a painless and permanent process for removing excessive hair. It works by seeking out melanin, which is responsible for the dark pigment of the hair. Once melanin is vaporized, dark hair regrowth is close to impossible.
Make sure that the attending skin doctor doing the laser procedure is certified to perform the procedure. You need to accomplish this for your own safety and protection.
