unwanted hair has become easier than ever. There are a number of easy
techniques that you can use at home or you can visit a beauty parlor for
professional treatment. Given below in some information about the
different techniques that are available today. |

|
Shaving: Shaving is a popular technique as it can be done at short
notice and gives you instant results without much effort. Most women still
continue to shave in spite of alternate techniques being available.
This method is quick and cheap, though the hair grows back rapidly and
when the hair
grows back it is very coarse. You should soften the hair by washing the
area with warm soapy water. Use light gentle strokes in the direction of
the hair growth, to remove the hair. After you finish moisturize the
skin. There are different kinds of razors, electrical, disposable, with
twin blades and moisturizing strips. Choose one that suits you the best. |

Hair
Removal Creams: These creams are manufactured in such a way that
they dissolve the hair. These creams have an ingredient called
keratolytic that will damage the skin if it is left on for a long time.
Use a patch test the first time you are using a cream. But there is no
doubt that they make the skin hair free, smooth and soft. |

Waxing:
Though this method is a little painful, it is good to remove
hair from the arms, legs and bikini line. Hair re-growth after waxing is
slow and may take as much as two months. It is best to do a patch test
for waxing as well. For best results one should continue waxing on a
regular basis. Hair is removed from its root and when it re-grows it is
finer. The problem with waxing is that the hair has to grow a little for
waxing to be efficient. It helps to dust a little talcum powder on the
area before waxing. |
|
Sugaring: This technique is similar to waxing. Here the
removal solution is warmed and then applied on the area required
with the help of a palette knife. The solution is applied in the
direction of the hair growth. Then a cotton strip is used to cover
the solution and torn away in the opposite direction and thus the
hair is removed. Hair re-growth takes about six to eight weeks and
it is fine. |
|
Electrolysis: This is a salon treatment and is expensive, but
last longer and could be permanent as well. This requires a series
of sittings if the results are to be good. A fine needle passes a
very low electrical current into the hair follicle. After a
session there will be slight swelling, redness
and scarring which will take a few days to disappear. |
|
Laser Treatment: This is
another salon-based treatment that is expensive too. You need a
few sessions for good results. Black activating lotion is applied
over the area, to enable the hair follicle to absorb the laser
energy. In this technique the best results are got from people
with thick body hair. |
