With an array of new technologies, treatments and beauty tricks, it’s difficult to keep up with the latest trends. When it comes to hair removal, what are the best hair removal methods?
Shaving:
Pros: It’s the most popular, affordable and easy method of removing hair! It’s a quick and simple DIY shower job.
Cons: Many people are prone to irritating their skin after shaving, causing ingrown hairs, razor bumps, cuts, and dry skin. As shaving only cuts the surface of hair on top of the skin, it tends to grow back much quicker.
Creams:
Pros: Depilatory creams are an easy way to get rid of body hair, by applying the cream smoothly to the area and rinsing it off after X amount of time (after the hair has lifted) Afterwards, hairs typically take a week to grow back, which is slightly slower than shaving.
Cons: Creams have a lot of different ingredients, so you must be aware of any skin allergies or reactions before using it. It cannot be used on broken skin under any circumstance.
Waxing:
Pros: Waxing removes hair from the root, which means the hair regrowth may take between 3 / 4 weeks to come back.
Cons: Waxing can be painful for most people, especially those with sensitive skin. Furthermore, you have to allow your hair to grow at least a quarter of an inch before you get waxed again for the best results.
Laser Hair Removal:
Pros: This high-tech method when used over time puts a complete stop to hair regrowth. It’s most efficient when used in small areas such as upper lip and facial hairs.
Cons: Laser hair removal is quite expensive and needs to be treated a few times for the best, long-term results.
If you are looking for an alternative method to hair removal with lasting results, then we fully recommend laser hair removal.
Although it is one of the more expensive treatments, eliminating hair growth all together is actually more cost-effective in the long-run compared to shaving or waxing!
