hi
The armpit hair starts to grow with adolescence. In addition, even though removing armpits hair is a personal choice and sometimes an influence of a culture, it is usually considered gross to keep letting it grow. If the armpit hair is left to grow, you may trap excessive sweat and then attract bacteria to settle in thereby leading to bad body odor. There are various methods by which armpit hair can be removed. Read on to know some of the armpit hair removal methods.

Removing Armpit Hair

Waxing
By far waxing is one of the most popular methods of hair removal. However, it is painful especially for the armpit hair. The advantage with waxing is that it gives a lasting effect and it is affordable. It is always better to get it done professionally, although it can also be done at home. All you need is a hot wax and disposable strips. Now wash your armpit with soap and thoroughly dry it. If your armpit hair is longer than 0.5 cm long, then cut it properly as otherwise it will be more painful and less effective. Now apply the wax in the direction of hair growth and paste the wax strip on it. Now remove the wax strip in the opposite direction of the hair growth. Now wash it off and apply a little moisturizer on it.

Shaving
Shaving is one of the easiest, cheapest, and painless methods of removing armpit. It is also used widely across the world because it is readily available. However, it has some disadvantages too. The hair removed through this method tends to grow back quickly and you need to shave frequently to keep your armpits clean. There are various types of razors available for shaving armpit hair and you can take their help. Always use a shaving cream or shaving liquid while you are removing your armpit hair. You could also use some dry razor specifically made for the purpose. However never use a simple razor without shaving cream as you may cut your skin.

Hair Removing Creams
Hair removing creams also called as depilatory creams are also a very common method for removing armpit hair. It can be bought from any drugstore and is very easy to use. In addition, the hair removed from this process takes a few weeks to re grow. You just need to apply it on your armpits and remove them after twenty minutes or the time prescribed on the pack of the hair removing cream. However, you need to take the skin sensitivity test before you apply it as otherwise it can give you rashes and minor skin infections.

Electrolysis
This technique leads to permanent hair removal and you can get rid of your armpit hair once and for all. However, it is a costly method and you need to visit a professional to do it. In this method, a probe is used that is put in inside the hair follicle and a small electric shock is given thereby killing the hair in situ.

These are not expensive and will prevent you from potentially giving yourself a nasty burn whilst using wax that is too hot. Secondly, thoroughly clean the your armpits beforehand with a good soap. If you fail to do this then the wax will not adhere to it. Thirdly, only wax when your armpit hair is less than 0.5 cm long. Any longer that this and the wax will not grip it your hair and there will be no armpit hair removal as a result. If necessary, cut armpit hair down to the prescribed length with scissors.
