Body hair, whether it is straight, short, long, or curly, is important and necessary, regardless of your opinion on it. The hair provides cushioning for your sensitive parts and protects your skin from germs and dirt and also lessens the friction between your skin and clothes. It also holds in heat to keep you warm when you need it. There are several options for body hair removal, and it pays to investigate all types before removing that unwanted body hair. For women especially, body hair can provide a subtle dating enhancement by retaining a unique personal scent. A potential mate may become attracted to you by chemicals called pheromones. Depending on your preference, some people choose to keep their hair depending on how it looks, whether their partner prefers it or for religious reasons. Whatever your reasons, here are some of your options. Some pros or cons for hair removal are, you can leave it which is the easiest choice, and you can sit back and watch it grow. If you let it grow you don't have to spend the money or time to get rid of it. Some people prefer to remove armpit hair as it encourages bacteria growth. You can dissolve or bleach it by using chemical bleaches. Bleaching lightens the hair so you can hardly see it, or use a depilatory so it washes away. Depilatories can be purchased at any drugstore at a cost of eight dollars and up. Then of course, there is the traditional way which is shaving, where the downside is you could be scraped or sometimes experience cuts. You can pluck body hair and pull it out by the roots which leaves you smoother longer. It can take weeks for the hair to grow back. This can be especially painful, though, if you have ingrown hairs beneath the skin. Or, you may choose to wax your hair having a salon do it for you. You will find the cost around $10 for your upper lip and $25 for your bikini area. Another popular method is using electrolysis which removes hair by killing the roots with an electrical current. Remember to consult a professional electrolysist for this procedure. It can be expensive at $75 an hour. And finally, one of the best ways to remove hair permanently is by laser hair removal. Whole parts of your body can be treated all at once and it is much quicker than electrolysis. Your skin heals quickly and the pain is minimal. You are going to need two to six sessions of laser hair removal, and it will cost you about $500 per session to completely remove that unwanted hair. |
