Sexy Girl - Safely Removing Your Unwanted Hair

The American society values hairlessness on the body. A woman is especially susceptible to the pressure to be hairless on her body.

There are many different cultures in which it is socially acceptable for women to have hairy legs or hairy armpits, but not here in America. The women that do not remove their body hair are definitely defying social norms.

Because of this, women in America will go through great lengths to get rid of the unwanted hair on their body. Women will endure plucking, shaving, waxing and electrolysis to remove hair from the areas of their body that they want to be hairless.

Many of these processes are time consuming and they can also be painful. None of these forms of hair removal are permanent.

Taking the time to understand how hair grows and what exactly hair is may help people find the hair removal processes that work best for them. There are many different ways to remove hair and it is important that women find the form of hair removal that works best for their skin and hair type.

First, women have to understand that hair grows from follicles. The follicle is a small hole in the surface of the skin that allows the hair bulb to form.

The hair bulb is the part of a piece of hair that gives that individual piece of hair the nutrients it needs to survive. Stemming from the hair bulb is the root of the hair.

The root of the hair is the part of the hair that is underneath the skin and gives support to the shaft of the hair. The shaft of the hair is the part of the hair that grows to the surface of the skin and the part of the hair that is visible to the human eye.

The actual hair is made up of mostly proteins. 91 percent of the hair is composed of proteins.

These proteins are taken up by the bulb of the hair and generated into long chains of amino acids. It is these chains and combinations of amino acids that make a hair what it is.

Because our hair is the result of different bonds, there are chemical processes that can change the way the bond holds together in our hair. For example, if you are to get a permanent on your hair you will temporarily be changing your hair from straight to curly.

The process of changing your hair from straight to curly will be a result of the chemicals in the permanent changing the makeup of the bonds in your hair. This is why the permanent will last until your hair grows out again.

The most interesting part about the proteins that makeup what our hair is, is that they die before they reach the surface. While the hair is still in the follicle it dies so when it reaches the surface it is only composed of dead proteins.

Knowing that the hair is already dead and that it grows from each follicle will help women make the best decision for their hair removal needs. Before deciding on a form of laser hair removal you will also want to decide what kind of skin you have.

If you have very sensitive skin you will want to stay away from waxing. When you wax your hair you are essentially smothering your skin in a very warm wax, letting the wax set so that it grabs onto your hairs and then ripping the wax off of your skin.

As you rip the wax off of your skin you will also be ripping the hairs from their follicles. When you rip the hairs from the follicles you hopefully take out the hair bulb as well.

If you are successful at waxing, your hair may take longer to grow back than if you had decided to simply shave your skin. But if your skin is sensitive it may be irritated by the wax on the skin and when the hairs begin to grow back you may have irritable bumps and ashes where the hair used to be.

There are some women that will only shave. Shaving is a very safe route for hair removal but it can be very time consuming.

Laser hair removal is becoming more and more popular because of its extremely long hairlessness rate. Although it is not a permanent hair removal system, it is very close to that.

Deciding how to remove hair can be overwhelming or frustrating but by taking the time to do your homework and your research about the subject you can find the right method.
