In a perfect world, we would all be hair free, and only have it where we want it. We all have problems with having hair on our legs, arms, underarms and other place where we wish we didn’t. The easiest thing that most of us would do is to shave it off. But that can be a pain since it has to be done everyday to get a super soft, smooth, and sleek finish. No one wants stubble except for men on their faces. Shaving is best for an emergency, when hair need to be removed at the last minute. Shaving leads to burns if the skin is super sensitive so many women look to other methods to remove that unwanted and despised hair. There are many other temporary methods for this.
Threading
Threading is a gentle process since it involves a thread being rolled over the skin which pulls the hair out. If you hate the pain involved with tweezing, this is not for you since the pain is very similar. It is twisted and then pulled and it works just like tweezing too. The hair is removed from the root so it lasts for a longer time than shaving. This is best for small areas.
Sugaring and waxing
These two procedures are similar in the way the hair is pulled out by applying a sticky layer of fluid on the legs. Both sugaring and waxing are used for large patches of hair like the arms and the legs. It is very popular as the bikini wax which really clears the skin around that area. Sugaring is an old tradition where women used the method even in the Mesopotamia civilizations. It is made with sugar and lemon juice, it is cooked till the liquid turns honey-ish and very sticky. Sugaring is safe to use even on sensitive skin and some claim that it is half as painful as waxing. This does not stick as much as wax to the skin, thus the less pain. The best thing about it is that it does not leave red ugly patches.
With waxing, even the coarsest hair can be removed. The shortest of short hair can also be removed use which is a lot better than sugaring since hair to be removed with that method has to be at least ¼”. Since this is pretty harsh, a patch test is always advised since not a lot of skin can take it. Some skins come off altogether with it and it consequently bleeds. This is best done by a professional.
Hair Removal Creams
Hair removal creams or depilatories are the most pain free of all hair removal methods. All you have to do is layer the cream on the skin, wait for about half an hour, and wipe the hair away. No fuss and no pain! Women all over the world are turning towards this wonder since it is absolutely pain free and they can do their entire legs or arms at one go.
With the different methods available you should soon be hair free and happy.
