It doesn't matter if you're a man or woman, excess body
hair just isn't very attractive or appealing. Heck, these
days I think men are shaving and waxing or using some sort
of depilatory to get rid of body hair just as much as women
are.
One of my least favorite pastimes is to shave my legs (by
the way, I'm a woman). I can't tell you how much I loved
it when I found a time that I didn't have to shave my legs
for a few days. Of course, then there were still the
underarms that needed tending to, but that was a small feat
when compared to the time it took to shave my legs, making
sure that every square inch was covered.
And the most frustrating part was that since I'm a person
whose hair grows faster than your standard-issue garden
weed, I'd most likely see that hair coming back in stubble
just a few hours after shaving! Talk about frustrating, I
was willing to pay just about anything to either never have
to shave again or to dramatically reduce my shave time so I
could do things that I actually enjoy instead.
I even briefly considered laser hair removal or
electrolysis for my legs, and even for my underarms, but
after looking at the hefty price tag and getting anxiety
attacks about spending that sort of money, on top of
hearing stories about how it many times took repeat
treatments and sometimes didn't even work, I decided that
wasn't the way for me to go.
So I started to look into some better, less expensive
options for staying hair free. I looked into waxing, but I
realized that I'd first have to grow the hair on my legs to
a very unattractive length before I could attempt to wax,
and looking like Bigfoot for a few weeks was not an option
for me personally.
I also read how waxing was many times painful and could
leave you with rashes or red bumps. I have sensitive skin
to begin with, so I knew that I'd probably end up with the
bumps if I tried it.
When I was younger I even tried a hair removal device
called an EpiLady. Do you remember these things? It
should have had a tag line called "Torture Hair Removal
Chamber", because the process was so painful and
uncomfortable that I ended up giving it away.
The person I gave it away to had electrolysis performed on
her face several times, which is rumored to also be a
painful process, and she said this device was ten times
more painful. So much so that she tossed it in the trash
after one go at it.
So that dashed my hopes that there was a device that could
pull my hair out and leave my skin baby smooth for weeks
without sending me through the roof with pain. Hmm, wonder
why these devices are nowhere to be found these days?
Onto my final solution, which has worked like a charm for
me. I've been lucky enough to find a gentle-formula
permanent hair removal product on the market that doesn't
irritate my skin, and actually makes my hair disappear for
weeks on end. You can find one too, since there are a few
good ones out on the market.
You will pay a higher price for the better ones, but keep
in mind that you will have to use less and less of the
product as you go, since it is designed to slowly virtually
stop hair growth where it is used. You can either shave or
wax before you apply most permanent and semi permanent hair
removal creams or gels.
With these permanent hair removal products, you do want to
make sure you leave them on for as long as they recommend,
as this is crucial in getting the product to work deep
enough to inhibit the follicle from sprouting again.
Also, during the first few times of using it, be sure to
space out uses as the specific product indications
recommend, as this will also be key in getting the hairs at
the right stages for stunting their growth properly. This
will be important for getting to that "maintenance level"
where you hardly have to use it any more.
Of course waxing probably offers a better result the first
time, since it pulls the hair out by the root and allows
the product to work at root level right away, but I've just
used shaving as my means of hair removal before application
and it has worked beautifully.
So, there you have it, an easier, pain free, less expensive
way to dramatically reduce your time with razors, wax kits
and other various instruments for hair removal!
