Generation Hair-Free
November 28th 2007 22:42
Body hair is a no-no is you want to fit the stereotypically accepted image of beauty. Guys must remove hair from chests and backs and girls from every place under the sun (and places the sun doesn't shine) or we're all doomed to not being pretty. You may not all think of hair removal in such drastic terms but you would be hard pressed to find a person among your peers, yourself included, that does not engage in some sort of hair removal. Spare me your speeches, it's time to find out what methods are available.
Waxing.
Damned if I know how it started but now waxing ranges from an activity you can perform on yourself to something that can be done to you by total strangers. If you're rather shy, I guarantee that'll change once you've had a professional Brazilian wax. This method pulls the hairs out from the roots so they grow back a little thinner each time. Eventually, you will become accustomed to the pain and just as you become totally numb to it, you will notice your hair is not growing back anymore so your new-found numbness is not required.
If you're not in the mood for violently ripping hair out of yourself, I suppose you could always run a blade across your skin.
Shaving seems to be faster, more affordable and can always be done in the privacy of your own home. However if you've started celebrating please sit yourself back down because everything comes with a price. Depending on how course your hair is (or how paranoid you are), you way need to repeat this action every second or third day. This will, quite often lead to ingrown hairs meaning that you will have little black dots all over your skin and unlike waxing, your hair ill grow back thicker. Well, whatever works for you...
If resorting to medieval torture techniques to remove hair isn't up your alley, you might be interested in moose.
Spray it on, let it set for 10 or so minutes, wash it off, along with your unwanted hair and have silky smooth and hair free skin. Exactly why this practical approach isn't the only one being used is beyond me... perhaps there are indeed still cavemen among us.
Ode to technology, hair removal goes digital.
Well maybe not digital, but you can have laser hair removal. This will cost you a fair amount and may or may not hurt, but seeing as it is not as easily accessible as the other 3 options not too many people have ventured to try it. This means you probably haven't and you don't know of any one that has so you can't ask them how it went. I guess hat I'm trying to say is, let's pretend this option doesn't exist.
