You should know that in the hot summer, the exposed skin area accounts for half of the whole body skin, especially for those who like to wear small camisole, it is not good to have hairy arms when you stretch them out! Not only does it affect the exquisiteness of the outfit, but the sweaty hair also makes you look darker!
Physical hair removal
- It is to shave the hair from the surface of the skin with a blade, a bit like a boy shaving, which is very convenient. This method is highly recommended for flat parts such as limbs, but not for armpits and bikini areas. The skin in these parts is not very flat, and it is easy to scratch the skin with a blade~
Moreover, these two parts usually have friction with the skin, so the new hair stubble after shaving will hurt our skin, which is a bit not worth the loss.
- It belongs to the violent type, using tweezers or tools such as beeswax to pull out the hair by the roots, which sounds so painful!
It's okay for areas with fine and soft hair like the limbs, but if you use such a violent method to remove hair in areas with thicker hair like the armpits, it will be painful! And it is easy to cause folliculitis, which is highly not recommended!
Chemical hair removal
- The first is the depilatory cream, which is very convenient to use. Apply it directly to the area where hair needs to be removed, wait for about 5 minutes, then use a small scraper to gently scrape off the hair and wash it clean, and the hair removal is successful.
The seemingly magical depilatory cream actually has a very simple principle. One of the ingredients in it can destroy the keratin in the hair, which naturally allows it to melt on the surface of the skin.
However, even the depilatory cream used daily can cause allergies. Redness, swelling and itching are considered mild, and it can even cause skin burns in severe cases.
So when we use the depilatory cream, we must first try it on a small area on the limbs. If an adverse reaction occurs, stop using it immediately. Do not use it on the face!
- The principle of home hair removal device is to use strong pulsed light to identify melanin and let it absorb heat to achieve the effect of destroying hair follicle tissue.
Permanent hair removal, which is often said, is actually based on the premise of destroying the tissue around the hair follicle, so that round after round of hair follicle tissue loses the ability to grow hair, and naturally no hair will grow again.
Will hair removal affect sweating?
Of course not! Hair removal removes hair follicles, and sweating is done by sweat glands. The two are not in the same system! So hair removal has nothing to do with sweating at all.
Will hair removal grow thicker and thicker?
It can only be said that it is an illusion. The hair is originally a cross-section. After being shaved, it becomes a truncated surface, so the newly grown hair is harder. Waiting for it to grow to its original length will be the same as before.
The faster the hair grows, the faster it grows?
It is still an illusion. Shaving will not change the growth cycle of hair. It may be that you are too focused on its growth rate, so you think it grows faster the more you shave.
Which parts can be hair removed?
Limbs, armpits, lips, and bikini areas can all be removed, but other parts of the face are not recommended to be removed randomly. Will laser hair removal make the hair darker?
It is possible, don't panic. In fact, after hair removal, the skin loses a layer of hair as a natural barrier. If you don't do a good job of sun protection, it is easy to cause melanin deposition in the skin, and then darkening is not self-inflicted!
Can laser hair removal stop hair growth forever?
Before knowing the answer, we must first understand the hair growth cycle.
Hair growth is generally divided into 3 cycles. The hair that has grown out of the skin surface is in the growth phase, and a small part is hidden in the skin in the resting phase and regression phase.
We usually remove hair in the growth phase, and only hair in the growth phase can be destroyed.
What should we do with the hair follicles in the resting and shedding phases? We need to wait 3-6 months for the hair follicles in the resting phase to cycle into the growth phase before undergoing laser hair removal. Repeat this process about 6 times (depending on the individual) to achieve permanent hair removal.
