Hair safeguarded prehistoric humans. A profuse growth acted as a barrier against crawling insects attempting to crawl into bodily crevices; hair also offered warmth and shade. Some people have more than an ample growth while others have them only in tufts or patches.
Nonetheless, in this modern age where humans now generally live indoors, an excess of hair has come to be considered as something undesirable. In women, hair found in the armpits, legs, bikini line, neck, and/or face is not only undesirable but is viewed as an indicator of the state of a woman’s personal hygiene.
The unattractiveness of surfeit body hair has become an issue for many women; therefore, many hair removal products and methods are out in the market to clear away this “hairy” issue.
Shaving is seen as the most handy hair removal method. Nevertheless, one down side of using a razor to eradicate hair is that the procedure is only temporary, considering that hair removal by shaving only cuts off the offending hair at the skin surface.
Plucking – normally with the use of a pair of tweezers – is another hair removal method. Plucking hair off is painful for most women. Further, removing hair through this method is time consuming because one has to pull out the hair one strand at a time. Still one more thing: Anecdotal evidence points to plucking as one of the main causes of infected sebum glands.
Another hair removal method is waxing. Waxing strips are warmed and then placed on the legs. The hair strands adhere to the soft warm wax. Once cool enough, the strips are yanked off (ideally in a direction opposite to the hair growth); the hairs are pulled up from their follicles.
Laser is aimed to be the method that permanently eliminates hair from the skin surface. The method works by zapping melanin, thus dark hair regrowth is suppressed.
