Hair removal involves removing hair that covers certain parts of the body.
Hair removal is a process carried out to remove the hair that covers the skin . It usually develops on certain body regions that, for aesthetic, social or hygienic reasons, are intended to be kept hairless.
Discovering the etymological origin of this term means having to go to Latin. And it derives from the verb depilare , as established in the dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy ( RAE ).
When removing hair, therefore, humans seek to remove the hair that they do not want to cover their body. The areas to be waxed vary according to each culture and depend on gender, although they are also linked to the intentions and predilections of each person. Shaving your armpit , for example, may be an everyday occurrence for a Latin American woman, unusual for a European woman, and almost non-existent for men.
Hair removal techniques
It is possible to develop hair removal through different techniques and using various instruments. One option is to use a hair removal machine that, thanks to its blades, allows you to remove hair from the legs and other regions.
Another alternative is to wax or remove creams that are placed on the hair that you intend to remove. In recent years, on the other hand, laser hair removal has become popular.
Specifically, we can say that these are some of the different hair removal systems that exist and are most used:
- Tweezers are used for certain areas of the body such as eyebrows that have less hair. And they are eliminating hair by hair, so it is a somewhat arduous practice. This system has the advantage that it is very durable.
- Blade . Removes hair close to the skin, it is an economical and quick process. It can be used for any part of the body.
- Electric machine . This method is somewhat painful, although in return it is more durable than the previous one.
- Depilatory creams . These are used by many women when removing hair from different parts of the body such as the face or legs. They act quickly but have the disadvantages that they do not have a lasting effect and that they can cause an allergic reaction.
- Wax . Painful is this hair removal system that is mainly used to remove hair from the legs. It has in its favor that, little by little, it is managing to weaken that one.
- Laser . The fact that over time it allows you to completely or partially remove hair is what makes more and more people opt for this method. However, it has the disadvantage that it is very expensive.
Hair removal can be done in different ways.
The shave
It should be noted that, when it comes to removing hair from the face (that is, the mustache and beard), the concept of hair removal is not usually used, but rather shaving or shaving . Nor is the action of cutting or removing the hair that covers the head called hair removal.
This allows us to affirm that, in general, men do not shave: they shave. There are still few people who shave their chest or back for aesthetic reasons, a practice that is often linked to swimmers and other athletes for performance reasons.
