Popular Permanent Hair Removal Alternative Processes
Whether you're male or female, at some point in your life, hair
removal becomes an issue to come to terms with.
There are people who choose to allow all of their body hair to
just grow, wherever, however. Then there are people who don't
want hair on some part(s) of their body at all so they elect to
undergo the expensive, extensive and painful experience of
electrolysis - The only hair removal process that has been
proven to be permanent.
Between these two ends of the spectrum of what to do with body
hair, most people remove hair from some part(s) of their body
and, depending on the body part, hair and skin type, employ a
variety of processes to do so.
Let's start at the top, shall we?
For those males, and females, who enjoy having a bald head,
there is no better hair removal process than shaving. And while
there are those within this group who get very satisfactory
results with one of the newer tri-blade razors, true aficionados
of the smooth, shiny and healthy looking scalp say there is
nothing to compare with the results achieved with a straight
edged razor - Once you know how.
Shaving, either with a wet razor or an electric shaver, is the
traditional way most males remove their facial hair. Although
today, there are wet and dry shavers that are gaining in
popularity.
For some males, convinced they're really female and committed to
becoming one, the process of electrolysis is sometimes employed
to eradicate the facial hairs hormone treatments don't affect.
Just as many females endure electrolysis to remove unwanted
hairs on their face.
But again, most females and transsexuals opt for alternatives
such as tweezing or depilatories specifically formulated for the
face, as opposed to electrolysis. For these people seeking a
smooth and hairless face, shaving is not an option.
When it comes to chest hair - Some females seek electrolysis,
but most often simply tweeze hairs from around the areola,
(about the nipple of the breast). But because males have such a
large area to contend with, electrolysis really isn't a viable
hair removal process. Neither are laser hair removal treatments
simply because of the cost and time involved.
So most males who desire to remove their chest hair often go to
a salon and get it waxed. Or regularly apply a depilatory or
shave.
This applies to the back as well. Although to effectively use a
depilatory or razor/shaver on his back, obviously a male needs a
friendly accomplice.
While we're still dealing with the upper part of the body, there
are the armpits, for which shaving is the most popular process.
Depilatories are not recommended because the caustic chemicals
can be too easily absorbed. And waxing, well, it's an option,
but not a popular one because it's s-o-o-o painful to have hairs
yanked from this super sensitive area.
For those males and females who choose to remove hair from their
pubic areas - Yes, some people do elect electrolysis, but most
employ alternatives.
The most used hair removal alternative to electrolysis is the
handy-dandy wet razor. One cannot say that it's the most popular
because of the inherent dangers of wielding a razor sharp blade
around this area and because the skin is so sensitive, the
results are more often than not uncomfortable after the first
few hours, but still - Millions of people around the globe
repeatedly remove their pubic hair with a wet razor.
Research reveals that a sizable group of people pay the high
price for laser treatments to remove hair in the pubic area, but
it's a bit of a mystery why. Because it takes several sessions
over a period of time to remove all the hair, and by that time,
the hair has already started to grow back in where it was first
removed. Not to mention the side effects along the way that can
leave one feeling quite raw and sore.
There is waxing, but only for those with a high pain threshold
... Although many can endure bikini line waxing as it's a small
area that can be done in about 15 minutes at a salon, so one
could say it's a popular hair removal process. But - It's
recommended that the skin be allowed to heal a few days before
"agitating", it.
Depilatories are only suitable for use strictly along the bikini
lines. Again, the harsh chemicals that "melt", the hair could
cause severe problems if allowed anywhere else.
There is a rumor that there are those who tweeze their pubic
hair - But that one's too painful to even consider.
When it comes to legs - Well, shaving beats out all other
alternatives to electrolysis. In fact, not much can be found
about legs being a major target area for electrolysis or laser
treatments. Probably because shaving is so easy and leg skin is
not so sensitive that the results are quite satisfactory.
Of course, there are those who have their legs regularly waxed
and they say it's worth it because their legs stay smooth for as
long as 3-8 weeks. And as long as they apply a good sunscreen,
they don't have to keep their legs hidden.
The same is said by those who use a depilatory every few days.
They say it's much easier than shaving every few days.
So there you have it - The most popular, or at least most used,
alternative hair removal processes to electrolysis, from head to
toe.
Except one -
With just a little bit of research, you can discover the latest
hair removal tool that has been streaking up the popularity
chart. It's inexpensive, easy to use, and removes hair quickly
and safely from any part of the body without any unpleasant
after effects.
