For centuries people practiced removing hair for beauty as well as hygiene purpose. Yet there are a few myths and misconceptions about hair removing and its techniques. Let us analyze some of the myths and understand the facts.

Most people resort to waxing shaving and laser treatment for removal of the unwanted hair, to enhance beauty. Many believe waxing causes thickening of hair. This is a myth. Waxing does not cause thickening of the hair, as the hair is removed from the root and the new hair that replaces the old is thinner. Beauticians recommend waxing as they say the intensity of growth is lesser. Waxing does not cause roughness of the skin as it is the most natural way to remove hair.

There is no use of artificial chemicals to cause harm to the skin, or eve cause any discoloration or reaction. Thus doubts like does waxing cause harm to the skin, or if it leaves patches are baseless. For many waxing is a painful process, and for some it is not. The reason for this difference in experience is the type of hair you have. If you have thicker hair and a tighter skin hold on, the hair exfoliation is a painful process, whereas if you have a thin hair you may barely realize the pain.

Another hair removing method that is commonly used is shaving. Shaving too has a few myths tagged along that it causes hair in-growth and leaves behind darker skin. If that were true would not all men have dark cheeks? So it is more than obvious that shaving regularly does not cause darkening of skin. Shaving should be done in the right manner, and the blade should run in the right direction. Care must be taken to use shaving cream before shaving to avoiding roughening of the skin, and any cuts. Besides, care in the direction you shave and the amount of pressure used is important for the right effect.

The most modern of the hair removal techniques is laser. Laser treatment is very popular these day s and many women are resorting to laser treatment for removal of hair of specific regions. Some women have excess hair growth on their upper lip, or chin etc. laser treatment gives a more successful and permanent hair removal. Laser treatment is believed to suit on the fairer skin which is baseless. The fact is this technique suits every skin, irrespective of the color. It is also not painful as many doubt.
