Hair Removal Methods

Hair removal has been practiced all through the ages and so hair removal methods have been varied and creative, from plucking and shaving, to threading and waxing.

You can easily imagine a cave woman plucking hairs, and there is plenty of evidence through statues and paintings (including murals) from ancient times that show both men and women that removed some if not all their body hair.

In our modern world a vast majority of people remove hair regularily and even obsessively, which in turn means there is a large demand for hair removal products and therefore different methods are available. Can you imagine the amount of hair that needs removal in China? (Never mind, that is just my mind wandering).

Anyway, the following is a brief guide explaining the different hair removal methods that are available.

The different types of hair removal methods can be classified into two families: Depilation and Epilation.

  •  

  • Depilation refers to hair that is removed above the skin, the simplest example being shaving. The methods available are:
  • - Shaving, either with a razor or with an electric shaver.
  • - Depilatories.  These can be creams, lotions, gels or even powders that contain chemicals that weaken the hair (above the skin) and then the hair is wiped off.
  • Epilation refers to hair that is removed below the skin, for example tweezing where the hair is pulled out including the roots or hair bulb. Methods available are:
  • - Plucking, which refers to pulling out an individual hair by the roots.
  • - Tweezing, plucking but with a pair of tweezers.  Again, by the roots, and usually to individual hairs.
  • - Threading, where the hair is caught in a cotton thread (thus the name) and then pulled out.
  • - Waxing, where a thin layer of wax (hot or cold), is applied over the skin.  The wax is then removed, and this action pulls out the hairs that have become embedded in the wax.
  • - Sugaring, similar to waxing, but with a different mixture.
  • - Epilators, being mechanical tweezers.
  • - Lasers, where a beam of light is targeted to the hair damaging it with heat.  Although not a permanent method, it does have the advantage of a longer period of time before regrowth.
  • - Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), a focused light is applied to the skin, going through it till it hits the hair root.  The light is converted into heat and destroys the hair at roor level.
  • - Electrolysis, a mild elctrical current is passed through the skin into the individual hair follicle, destroying it.
