The hair removal method that feels most comfortable to you is the one that you choose.Shaving can be done in just a minute or two.You can use a depilatory cream to painlessly take the hair away, or you can also use waxing and epilating, which have longer- lasting results.If you want a permanent solution, make an appointment to get electrolysis.
Step 1: Wet them with warm water.
If your skin is soft, supple and warm, the shaving process will go more smoothly.Before you start, shave in the shower or wet your armpits with warm water.If you get ingrown hairs, you should use a body scrub.
Step 2: You should raise your arm over your head.
To make sure the skin is taut, raise it high over your head.You don't want to get cuts or razor burn.
Step 3: It's a good idea to apply shaving cream or body wash.
If you want the razor to run smoothly on your skin, cover all of the hair with a product.You could end up getting razor burn if you don't use shaving cream or body wash.
Step 4: A new razor is needed.
There are more than one drawbacks to using a dull or rusty razor.You won't get a close shave, you're more likely to get nicked, and you could end up with an ingrown hair.Make sure the razor is in good shape.
Step 5: The hair should be shaved against the growth direction.
Under the armpit, everyone's hair grows a little differently.Yours may grow in one direction or in many different directions.For a cleaner shave, shave against the direction of growth.If necessary, wet the razor in between strokes.
Step 6: On the other side, rinse your armpit.
Make sure the hair has been removed by washing away the excess shaving cream.If necessary, do a touch-up on the other side.
Step 7: Wait at least an hour and a half to apply the spray.
Before you apply a product, give your skin a chance to heal from shaving.It could sting or cause a rash if you put it on right away.
Step 8: You can choose a sensitive cream.
Depilatory cream has different strengths.Some are meant for sensitive spots like the face and armpits, while others are designed to take off thick leg hair.If the extra-strength stuff doesn't work, start with the cream for sensitive areas.If you use cream that's too strong for your skin, it can cause a rash.Pick one that's meant for the face when you're unsure.
Step 9: The first thing you should do is wash your armpits.
Apply the cream to skin that has been washed.Put a towel on your armpits.
Step 10: You should raise your arm above your head.
The skin needs to be pulled taut.Since you'll need to hold your arm upright the whole time you use the cream, get into a comfortable position and hold it for a few minutes.
Step 11: Apply the cream to the hair.
Don't apply it to the skin around your hair.Don't use too much to cover the hair.
Step 12: Wait for the right amount of time.
The cream should go to work if you keep your arm raised.Wait three to ten minutes for the chemicals to kill the hair.Don't leave the cream on your skin for too long.The cream shouldn't hurt or burn.Don't wash it off if you feel pain.
Step 13: Place your hand on the other side of your body.
Applying the cream over your hair will allow it to work for the recommended amount of time.When you're done, rinse.
Step 14: You should wait a few hours before applying it.
This will give you time to heal after the treatment so that you don't have to use it again.
Step 15: Make sure your hair is not too long.
When it comes to waxing, this is the easiest length to manage.The wax won't be able to grip your hair if it's shorter.It could become difficult to manage if it's longer.If you have to wait a few more days, trim your hair to the correct length.
Step 16: Get your waxing kit ready.
Any type of wax is good for removing hair.Most kits come with a pot of wax that needs to be heated up in a microwave or a special wax warmer.The kit will have cloth strips that you can use to remove hardened wax.The manufacturer's instructions say to warm your wax.
Step 17: It's a good idea to wash your armpits.
Dead skin and dirt can be removed with a body scrub or a loofah.The waxing process will be easier with this.
Step 18: Dust your body with baby powder.
The powder keeps the wax from sticking to your skin when you pull it off.It is possible to keep your armpits dry by turning on a fan or opening a window.
Step 19: Raise your hand over your head.
Your skin is taut if you raise it all the way up.This will make it easier for the hairs to come out and be pain-free.
Step 20: The wax strip needs to be applied.
You can spread a small amount of the wax on your hairs if you want.Place a cloth strip on top of the wax.
Step 21: Pull the strip against the growth.
If you pulled off a bandaid, you would do it quickly.The wax won't pull out your hair if you go too slowly.If you go slowly, it will hurt more.Your skin may not be taut if you have trouble pulling it off.If you can bend your elbow and use your fingers to hold your skin taut, you might be able to pull off the strip.You may be sweating and getting wet.To cool things off, turn on a fan.
Step 22: Continue until the hair is gone.
Depending on how much hair you have, it might take two or three wax applications per armpit to get the job done.Go to the second and finish the first.When you're done, you can use a tweezers.
Step 23: Almond oil is a good lubricant for your armpits.
Extra bits of wax that are clinging to your skin will be soothed by this.
Step 24: You should wait a few hours before applying it.
Your skin might be irritated if you apply it right away.Wait at least a few hours.
Step 25: Make sure your hair is not too long.
The easiest way to use an epilator is with this length.It could become difficult to manage if it's longer.To make sure your hair is the right length, shave your armpits one to two days before you start.
Step 26: Dust your body with baby powder.
An epilator is a machine that removes hair.The results can last for weeks, but the process can be a little painful.Dust your armpits with baby powder to make them completely dry.
Step 27: You should raise your arm above your head.
If you want your skin to be taut, raise it high.Your skin could get pinched if it is bunched.
Step 28: The epilator needs to be turned to a low setting.
The lower setting will help you get used to having your hair pulled.
Step 29: Run it over your body to remove hair.
At first, keep it away from your skin.As the hairs are pulled, you'll feel a similar sensation to waxing.When you get used to having your hair pulled, you'll be ready to move to the next step.
Step 30: If you want to apply the epilator closer to your skin, turn it to a higher setting.
You can get all the stray hairs that didn't come out the first time.On the higher setting, keep your skin taut.
Step 31: On the other side repeat.
If you want to go to the higher setting, start on the lower one.Continue until your arm is free of hair.
Step 32: You can apply witch hazel to soothe your skin.
When you're done, soothe your armpits with aloe because they will feel red and irritated.
Step 33: Wait for several hours to apply it.
Wait at least a few hours to apply it because it could sting or cause a rash.
Step 34: There is a consultation at the salon.
It's important to go to a salon that has a good reputation.You should have an initial consultation to learn about the process and come up with a plan.Permanent hair removal can be done with lysis, in which hair is destroyed with chemical or heat energy.
Step 35: Attend your first hair removal session.
The treatment will take fifteen minutes to an hour.The process is painless for some people and uncomfortable for others.You may have to return for more sessions if you have too much hair.
Step 36: As directed, Tend to your armpits.
After your session, your skin will be red and swollen, so you want to treat it gently.If you went to the salon, apply something that was recommended.
