Hair Removal Techniques For Different Body Parts by: Charlotte Bleasdale

There are so many different types of hair removal but what exactly might work for a body part may not give good result on another, some will need more gentle techniques while others need something harsher. From shaving and waxing to plucking and epilating, here's a guide to what type of hair removal works best for each body part...



Legs

There are so many possible methods of hair removal for the legs so why not evaluate a few and choose your favourite one. Wet shaving is generally the most common because it's easy to do and gives a nice clean finish, while an electric shaver is good for a rapid shave when you don't have the time. Many women also like to wax their legs because of the result it gives with a smooth and long lasting finish. Epilators have a similar effect as waxing, while depilatory creams melt the hair at the root and are similar to wet shaving.

Underarms

You're possibly best sticking with shaving for the underarms, as there isn't usually a lot of hair and because the surface is quite small. A wet shave will give a thoroughly clean finish, while you can always use an electrical shaver for quick results.

Bikini line

As the bikini line is a very sensitive part to remove hair you must take care whatever method you choose upon. The most effective hair removal for the bikini line is waxing, as this gives a clean finish when you remove the hair from the root. Even though waxing could be painful in the beginning, the more you have it accomplished the less painful it will be. For quick results, wet shaving is a good technique, but try not to go over one area too many times and always use shaving foam or an alternative. Once again, utilize small scissors to arranged up the area if necessary.

Eyebrows

Of course, most women will use tweezers to pluck the eyebrows, because it is not only quick and easy but also gives the most precise shape and perfection. If you need to trim back the hair on the eyebrows, use some small scissors to remove stray hairs. Threading is a new method that has identical results but utilizes small threads to remove the hairs and is carried out in salons. Some women like to have their eyebrows waxed, although this has more long lasting results it could not give the precision of plucking and probably be more matched to use in the middle of the eyebrows and then touching up with tweezers.
