There are a number or techniques that can be used for hair removal and therefore is can be difficult to choose what the best is for you. All the techniques listed below can be used on both females and males.
First and most obvious is shaving – Shaving is a very simple hair removal process, it can be done with either a razor containing blades, using water and shaving gel or soap or with an electrical razor. The face, legs, armpits and bikini lines can be done using this method of hair removal.
Second is waxing – this method is mainly used by women, although some men have their chests waxed. Waxing is done using hot wax and material strips that removes hair from the roots; the effects last longer than shaving although it can be quite painful. The legs, armpits, chest and bikini area can be waxed but can sometimes cause bruising.
Third is epilating – Epilating is done with a small hand held device that in basic terms pulls hairs from the skin. This method is used by women and is ideal for the legs and bikini area – this process can too be quite painful but has long lasting results.
Other methods of hair removal are tweezing, threading, laser hair removal and depilatories.
