Shaving |
|
|
|
Short
Description |
- Shaving is the most common hair removal
method
- The cut hair off at the skin's surface
-
The
sharp metal blade or electric razor
cuts the
hair off at the surface of the skin, causing
the
hair to
grow back,
sometimes as soon as a day or two later.
- While the razor has always had its
drawbacks, like
the risk for cuts,
it
is
convenient
and portable.
-
Body shaving is more difficult than facial shaving because the skin
is more tender in certain areas of the body, such as the bikini area or
the legs. Generally, shaving is done against the direction of hair growth.
For sensitive areas, shaving in the direction of hair growth often works
better and gives fewer skin cuts, but can be slower. It also helps to
lather up and soak the body areas for a while prior to shaving.

Bodyparts |
- Legs, Face, Bikini area
- Shaving
arm hair is
not recommended
for several reasons: new hair growth will be thicker and coarser, results
do not
last very long and there
is
a lot of potential for irritation and ingrown hair.
