Tender, graceful, affectionate, soft,nervous...what epithets are not applied to women's hands! But no one will ever speak admiringly about hands - "hairy". This is probably the last thing a woman would like to hear. Nevertheless, hair grows on hands - that's just the way people are made. True, it grows differently for everyone. Some lucky ones have practically no hair at all, others - weak, barely noticeable light fluff, others are much less lucky - the vegetation is quite thick and very noticeable. Since ancient times, women have been looking for ways to get rid of excess "hairiness". Even in ancient times, hand waxing was very popular. Today's beauties have significantly more options. Modern cosmetology allows each woman to choose the method that suits her best. However, before deciding on this procedure, you need to find out if you have any contraindications. The main ones are:
- diabetes;
- hormonal disorders;
- pregnancy or lactation period;
- acute stage of herpes;
- presence of sunburn, wounds or other damage to the skin;
- individual intolerance of the components used for the procedure.
This is not a complete list. In order to prevent possible negative consequences for your health, you should consult with your doctor.
"Home" methods of hair removal
Perhaps the easiest and fastest wayremoving unwanted hair is shaving. However, it is absolutely not suitable for hands. The very next day after the procedure, hair will begin to grow. Moreover, it will become even tougher, darker and thicker. And your hands will become prickly to the touch. Now that is what you least want! Therefore, shaving should be rejected with indignation right away. Another popular method is depilatory creams. They are very simple and easy to use. And using them is not painful at all. True, there are some downsides. Firstly, if you have sensitive skin, then using such creams can cause irritation. Secondly, the effect, unfortunately, is quite short-lived. Two or three days - and you will have to repeat the procedure. The next method is epilation of hair on the hands using a household electric epilator. The head of the device rotates at high speed and hair is removed mechanically. This is also quite convenient - you can do the operation yourself, at home. And the effect is much more lasting - two to three weeks. However, this procedure is quite painful. After it, there is often irritation, and many complain of severe itching. In order to soothe the skin, it is recommended to use special lotions. Bleaching. Strictly speaking, this method will not allow you to get rid of unwanted hair. But if the vegetation on your arms is rare and thin enough, you can disguise it. For this, you can use a solution of hydrogen peroxide. It will absorb the natural dark pigment of the hair and, as a result, make them invisible.
Waxing
The next very popular method is hand waxing. There are two types of this method:
- use of special wax strips;
- epilation with hot wax.
Wax strips are applied to the skin of the hands andare removed with a sharp movement, which is made against the hair growth. Hot wax epilation looks a little different. The wax is heated and applied in a thin layer to the desired area. The hot composition softens the skin and ensures the penetration of the substance to the hair follicles. After complete hardening, strips of thick paper are placed on the surface, and then removed with a sharp movement. Unwanted hair on the arms is removed along with the wax. The effect of this procedure lasts for two to four weeks. The result will depend on your individual characteristics. Wax epilation is a rather painful procedure. In addition, the upper layer of the skin epidermis is damaged in the process. Therefore, after hair removal with wax, it is recommended to apply a special gel to the skin, which promotes the regeneration of new cells.
Laser and electrolysis
This is another quite effective anda time-tested method. Unwanted hair is removed under the influence of a current pulse that penetrates the hair follicle and forms a small adhesion. It prevents the supply of nutrients and, as a result, the hair, left without “food”, dies. The result of epilation lasts for two to three weeks. However, the procedure is quite painful and can cause skin irritation. In order to minimize side effects, it is recommended to use special compounds that soothe damaged skin and, in addition, prevent hairs from growing into it. This is a relatively new, but already popular way to get rid of hated hair. The procedure is carried out using a special laser device. Under the influence of radiation, the hair changes color and structure, becoming thin and less noticeable. The hair follicle heats up and is destroyed. And, over time - after several procedures - you can get rid of hair on your arms completely.
Rules of behavior after epilation
Regardless of which method you choose, there are some rules and precautions you should follow after performing it.
- For at least two weeks,protect the skin from the effects of ultraviolet rays. It is not recommended to sunbathe, and before going out to the street during the hot season you need to use special sunburn creams.
- During the first day after the procedure, you should not visit saunas or baths.
- Hair growing in between the sessions of laser or electro-epilation, can be removed only with depilation cream.
