Have you ever go to drug store and looking for hair removal product, or just buy razor?? I ever do both, even i tried to buy the expensive one, but I still got problem with that. My skin got rash, so itchy. Oh its a hard way to make my body free from hair.
Knowing hair types in our body. First, vellus hair is soft, fine, and short. Most women have vellus hair on their chest, back, and face. And second terminal hair is coarser, darker, and longer than vellus hair. It's the type of hair that grows on your head. Around puberty, terminal hair starts to grow in the armpits and pubic region.
What the best way for hair removal
1. Shaving
Using a razor, a person removes the tip of the hair shaft that has grown out through the skin.
Tips: You'll get a closer shave if you shave in the shower after your skin has been softened by warm water. Go slowly, pulling looser areas of skin taut before running the razor over them. Change razors often to avoid nicks. Using shaving cream may also help protect sensitive skin, like the skin around the genitals
2. Plucking
Using tweezers, a person stretches the skin tightly, grips the hair close to the root, and pulls it out.
Plucking can be painful. If the hair breaks off below the skin, a person may get an ingrown hair. After plucking, you may notice temporary red bumps because the hair follicle is swollen and irritated
3. Depilatories
A depilatory is a cream or liquid that removes hair from the skin's surface. They work by reacting with the protein structure of the hair, so the hair dissolves and can be washed or wiped away.
If you have sensitive skin, you might have an allergic reaction to the chemicals in the depilatory, which may cause a rash or inflammation.
4. Waxing
A sticky wax is spread on the area of skin where the unwanted hair is growing. A cloth strip is then applied over the wax and quickly pulled off, taking the hair root and dead skin cells with it.
Teens who use acne medications such as tretinoin and isotretinoin may want to skip waxing because those medicines make the skin more sensitive. People with moles or skin irritation from sunburn should also avoid waxing
5.Electrolysis
Over a series of several appointments, a professional electrologist inserts a needle into the follicle and sends an electric current through the hair root, killing it. A small area such as the upper lip may take a total of 4 to 10 hours and a larger area such as the bikini line may take 8 to 16 hours.
6.Laser Hair Removal
A laser is directed through the skin to the hair follicle, where it stops growth. It works best on light-skinned people with dark hair because the melanin (colored pigment) in the hair absorbs more of the light, making treatment more effective.
and maybe still many more way... choose the best way for your skin and your money too hahaha. enjoy your day.
