Removal of Unwanted Body-Hair

Methods
of Hair Removal

1. SHAVING

Shaving is quick, easy and efficient and does not cause the hair
to grow back thicker or darker although the regrowth feels rougher.

The shave: use soap and water inorder to help the razor glide over
skin.

Always shave in the direction of hair growth inorder to avoid
ungrown hair.

Shaving is the quickest form of removing underarm hair. You must
use a sharp razor to shave this area.

Never shave on the face, around the nipples, thighs or the bikini
line, where the angles are difficult to get right and there is a strong
risk of cutting yourself.

2. TWEEZING/PLUCKING

Works best when there are only a few hair to remove.

Only pluck the eyebrows.

Always pluck hair in a good light, with a magnifying mirror and in
the direction of hair growth.

Pluck one at a time from the underneath of the eyebrow only.

3. DEPILATORY/HAIR REMOVING CREAMS

These dissolve the protein structure that
gives the hair its strength and texture. The destructive action of the
chemical is limited by how far the cream can penetrate.

When using, always follow manufacturer
instructions and time yourself carefully.

Patch test first, following the manufacturers instructions. If no
reaction in 24 hours, apply it.

These creams give a smoother finish than shaving

Use these creams on the legs twice a week for lasting results.

After the use of hair removing creams, wash or shower in lukewarm
water.

To remove thigh hair mild hair removal creams may be used
effectively as the skin around this region is very soft.

Avoid the use of such creams on eyebrows,breasts, face and the
bikini line.

4.WAXING

This may be done either by using hot wax or cold wax.

Hot wax is applied in patches, allowed to cool and stripped off taking
the hair with it. Hair is removed from the deepest possible point- just
above the root. This method can irritate a sensitive skin.

Cold wax is smoothed over the area and covered with gauze, which
is then stripped away taking wax and hair with it. Cold wax is not as
harsh on skin but it is also not too effective for removing very thick
or coarse hair.

Waxing is problematic for removing underarm hair and thus should
be avoided in this area.

Waxing is very effective for the dark, tough hair of the legs
because the results last for about five weeks.

Waxing although effective for removing hair on the thighs, proves
to be quite painful. So it is for you to try and see for yourself if
you can bear it.

Never use waxing on painful, inflamed or sunburned areas of the
skin, the nipples or the face.

5. BLEACHING

This is an excellent way of dealing with dark hair on the face.

Although it can be done professionally, the home kits are so good that results are equally impressive.

Results of bleaching can often last upto four weeks.

Bleaching is good for very fine, downy hair on the face.

While using bleaching protect the surrounding skin with a tissue
paper.

Always use a bleach specially formulated
for the face and avoid commercial hair bleaches which may turn the hair
yellow.

6. ELECTROLYSIS

This is the only widely used way of removing hair permanently.

It uses an electric current to kill the
hair and only the most sensitive of skins will find it painful.

Go to a reputable and properly qualified electrolysist since
incorrect treatment can lead to scarring or infection.

7. Some
useful Tips

Never use hair removing creams or the plucking method to remove
hair from the stomach and lower back areas.

Hair on the stomach, lower back and breast region can easily be
removed by cutting it with scissors.

Electrolysis is not at all recommended for most types of hair on
the leg.

After shaving hair from the underarm area, dust the underarms
with talc.

What should I use to get rid of yellow tones in my hair?

I decided to bleach two small chunks of hair. I have very dark brown hair and after lightening it turned my hair yellow which to my understanding is normal. The trouble I am having is finding what toner of hair dye I should use to get rid of those yellow tones. I didn't bleach my whole head of hair only these two small chunks of it but the yellowness of it is bothering me. Thank you for your help.

Hair could become discolored due to changes in pigmentation that are part of the natural ageing process. External and environmental factors could also play a role in the change in hair color. Hair that has turned grey or white lacks the pigment which is responsible for the color of hair that is younger.

As such it is likely that the hair may take on the color of external substances that it may come in contact with such as water in a swimming pool. Pollutants in the environment can also affect the color of the hair. The hair is very porous and as such pollutants such as dust or smog in the air can be absorbed by the hair.

Hair that has melanin also tends to absorb these substances, but the pigmentation makes it less noticeable. When pollutants are absorbed by white or grey hair, it starts to appear dull and yellowish.
Smoking is a common cause of hair turning yellow. The smoke from cigarettes can become absorbed in the hair, leading to discoloration. Just as smoking can cause discoloration of the fingernails and lips, it can also cause the hair to become yellowish. The front of the hair is more likely to become discolored as it is the part that comes in contact with the smoke first. Second hand smoke can also have this effect on the hair. Certain shampoos and other products used for the hair may leave residues after use that can cause a discoloration of the hair. Hairsprays, mousse and gels contain many chemicals that may leave behind traces which can have a discoloration effect on the hair. These products also tend to attract pollutants more easily to the hair. There are also certain medications that can cause the hair to acquire a yellowish tinge. Medications are usually excreted from the skin and scalp pores. As such they may coat the entire hair shaft, thereby giving it a yellowish color.
To prevent hair from turning yellow, you can wash the hair regularly so that there is no buildup of pollutants and product residue. A clarifying shampoo may be used to clean the hair once a week. This must be done especially if you smoke or tend to be exposed to smoke or if you use a lot of hair products. You can also make use of a leave-in conditioner that will mask the porous quality of the hair and prevent contaminants and pollutants from getting absorbed.
