Since ancient times, we women have always struggled with hair removal. Today men have also joined in our struggle with unwanted hair, but what can we do to get rid of these undesirable hairs? Would you like some information on the different removal methods that exist today? After carefully reading this article, you’ll be able to choose the technique that best adapts to your needs.



The general term for hair removal is known as depilation. This refers to the removal of the unwanted hair that will impinge on the upper surface of the skin.



​Which depilation method is right for you?
Generally, the most common process used in hair elimination is shaving. This refers to the actual removal of hair using the razor. It is commonly used to remove hairs on the chest and on the face, for men; and on legs and underarms, for women. But is it OK to shave to get rid of hair?



Undoubtedly, this method of hair removal will not take up much of your time, as all you have to do is apply shaving cream on your skin and shave. However, we only recommend this hair-removal method for going over an area in case of an emergency, as the hair will start to come out stronger, although not in greater quantities, as people say. Shaving also generates other common problems such as razor burn and ingrown hair, if you like shaving please use soothing lotion after shaving to prevent burns and solution or cream to prevent ingrown hair.



Another use at home hair removal method is depilatory cream. Removing hair with cream is a chemical method that has thyoglicolic acid salts as the active ingredient. This acts on the aerial part of the hair, transforming the keratin in a few minutes into a soft, manageable mass that can be easily eliminated with a spatula or simply with water. This is a fast hair-removal method (5 to 8 minutes), pain-free and comfortable. But just as with shaving, your hair is cut but not removed from the root, even though creams are less aggressive on your skin than razors. So this method also doesn’t give you long time results, hair usually start to grow back the very next day.



​Hot waxing
Hot waxing is by now a classic method of hair removal in the beauty industry. All thought this process is far from comfortable it provides you with long results, smooth skin without razor burns and ingrown hairs. Professional wax allows hair to be removed from the root without leaving the skin red and is recommended for women with circulation problems. Good quality wax shrink wraps around hair allowing effective depilation without irritation of the skin, it requires minimum heating and warm comfortable temperature of the wax will not burn your skin. This type of depilation is specially recommended for bikini and brazilian waxing Regular waxing significantly reduces amount of hair that will grow back which will make future waxing easier and easier. Hot hard wax is also very effective for facial and brow waxing. Waxing is one of the most easiest, effective and affordable hair removal methods that can be offered today.



​How can I prepare my skin for waxing?
Always apply products before and after waxing to prevent ingrown hair, exfoliate waxed area at least once a week. One week prior waxing do not tan, exfoliate or irritate skin. Remember, if you are using medications such as Accutane or Retin A waxing can not be performed.



​How often should I wax?
I suggest to wax every 4-6 weeks, depending on your hair growth. Often waxing will weaken your hair follicles making the whole waxing process a lot easier and less painful after each visit.



​Does Brazilian waxing hurt?
Well, Brazilian waxing is not a very pleasant treatment. Everyone have different level of pain tolerance, you can reduce pain by applying numbing cream 30-45 minutes prior to waxing. Also length of the hair is very important as well, very long hair can break during waxing making it less effective, plus it can clump up in a ball making it more difficult and painful to remove. Optimal hair length is 1/4 inch.
