Hair, Hair, and More Hair!!

Its that time of year again, where less is more! Well, less clothes that is!

During the winter months, hair removal is one of the last things you want to make a priority, but as the seasons change you have to put that pesky hair in check! There are several methods to rid that unwanted hair and we’re going to give you the pros and cons of some the most popular methods.

• ·       Shaving: What about shaving? Well when you shave, you are only cutting off the top layer of hair, which grows back in about a week, right?
• ·       Waxing: Wax seems to be the better option between the two, because waxing removes the root. Which causes the hair to take a longer time to grow back. The only problem is that to wax, you must allow the hair to grow to the necessary length.
• ·       Laser Removal: Laser hair removal allows the hair to remain gone for an extended amount of time, but does not always work for people with darker skin tones or lighter hair. You will also need to have at least 3 and 6 sessions of the laser hair removal for the procedure to be effective.
