Pubic Hair Removal – What YOU Need To Know

In recent years, more and more people have been looking into the process of pubic hair removal. One of the main areas of interest is whether there should be total hair removal or just a shortening of the pubic hair. If a person decides to remove their genital hair, just how much should be taken off? Is total genital hair removal needed or would a trim be just as good? Should the bikini area be completely free of any hair; maybe a full Brazilian wax is best?

The level to which you go with your pubic hair removal is entirely down to personal choice of the individual. However, if that decision to remove some pubic hair is made, then what are the best methods available?

The general opinion among most experts in the business is that waxing is probably the best method of hair removal. Although waxing can be uncomfortable during the actual process, the results will leave a smooth stubble free skin.

Some advantages with waxing are that it is only temporary so if you decide you would prefer to have a little hair in that area, you only have to let it grow back. It has been noted by some that repeated waxing can sometimes have an effect on the hair that grows back. After repeated waxing, people have claimed the re-growth has been finer and lighter in color.

Another advantage is that it is very controllable and can be done at home. There are places that will perform the waxing for you but many people feel uncomfortable due to the area being treated.

If you do decide to use wax as a way to remove pubic hair, make sure you buy the correct product for safe use in this sensitive area.

A similar technique to waxing is what is known as sugaring. Sugaring involves placing a sugar based mixture on the area. When the mixture hardens, it is rolled quickly from the skin, removing the hair as it goes.

Alternative methods for pubic hair removal are shaving, laser or electrolysis treatments.

Shaving will usually only provide short term results. The hair will quickly grow back and because the end of each hair has been cut, as it grows out it can lead to itching and possibly rashes or soreness. The other problem with shaving especially if using an open bladed razor is the area in question. Very few people are happy to use a sharp instrument around their most sensitive area !!

Laser hair removal or electrolysis will provide permanent long term results but this is a lengthy and costly exercise. If a commitment has been made to permanently remove hair from the pubic region then this may be something to try. Otherwise more temporary treatments would probably be better.
