Hair Removal - All Over Your Body
Today, a male body builder is not the only person into removing
hair from all over their body.
Aside from the fact that there are more and more female body
builders, there are scores of everyday males and females who
remove hair from all over their bodies.
Both in the media and on the street, an obvious example is how
many males and females are into head shaving.
At the pool or the beach, and even on neighborhood basketball
courts, it's much more common to see males with smooth and
hairless chests and backs. And even a few without armpit or leg
hair.
And if you think about it, males in the media advertising
underwear and fitness equipment don't have any body hair. They
have it removed because the current fashion in this society is
for males to be hairless.
Some would say it's about time they caught up with the females
...
But the truth is - Today's males ARE more aware of and
conscientious about their overall image and removing body hair
is a major means of projecting the most positive image. Besides,
males have been learning what females have known ever since they
started removing their body hair - There are some definite
benefits to doing so.
Less body hair means less body heat. Less body heat means less
body odor. And we can all support that.
But, perhaps even more of a benefit is the fact that removing
body hair helps to define body shape. For females in particular,
this applies to their legs. For males, their chests.
That's why when body builders are getting their body ready for
competition, they use some type of hair removal.
And because there is such a growing trend towards complete body
hair removal these days, we look to body builders and other
athletes for information about the best way to accomplish it.
But even for body builders, it hasn't always been easy to
connect with the, "perfect", hair removal product or system.
Before the mid 90s, body builders relied mostly on services
employing people who became their personal body shaver. These
people used a wet razor to remove the hair from the body
builder's entire body a few hours before a competition. Then
they'd oil them down.
After the mid 90s, body builders began relying on laser hair
removal treatments. But that didn't really work out so well.
Partly because the high cost of the treatments took a big chunk
of their competition winnings, but mostly because their entire
body couldn't be made completely hairless in one session, or
even two or three. So there was the time factor.
Then there were the unsavory side effects of swelling, redness
and maybe even some blistering, that often kept body builders
from competitions, even if they completed the treatments well
ahead of time. When people started coming up with scars - that
was pretty much it.
So many body builders returned to the tried and true body shaver.
But that's not to say that many body builders haven't
experimented with a variety of other alternatives to laser hair
removal.
The main laser hair removal alternative methods include:
electrolysis, waxing, depilatories, and the old stand by,
shaving.
Electrolysis may be the only hair removal method that has been
proven to be permanent, and that would seem ideal for a body
builder, but -
Because electrolysis involves treating each individual hair
follicle, (the skin depression from which the hair emerges), it
is also the most time consuming hair removal method. It can take
years of weekly or monthly sessions to completely remove all
hairs in just one area. And -
Because electrolysis involves inserting a fine wire alongside
the hair shaft into the hair follicle through which an electric
current and/or strong chemical is sent down to destroy the
growth source, (papilla), at the end of the hair, it is also
quite painful, even for mighty body builders, even with the use
of a topical anesthetic. And
-
Electrolysis has some of the worst temporary side effects -
Swelling, redness, pinpoint scabbing and skin discoloration, and
worse, the possible permanent effects of skin discoloration and
scarring.
Add to all of that - Electrolysis is the next most expensive
method of hair removal.
So it's easy to see why electrolysis is not a viable laser hair
removal alternative for body builders.
A hair removal method that isn't as expensive, can last for 3-8
weeks and would seem viable for body builders is waxing. And
because waxing can be done on the entire body in one session, it
would seem ideal for a body builder, but -
Waxing basically involves applying a warmed taffy like substance
to the hairs in an area, then cloth strips, all of which are
allowed a moment to cool and adhere to the hairs and then the
strips are very quickly removed, pulling the hairs out by their
roots.
Obviously, this hair removal method is pretty painful, so a
topical anesthetic is recommended. But that's not the real
problem.
The real problem is that while the wax is adhering to the hairs,
unfortunately, it's also adhering to the skin. Which means when
the cloth strips are yanked off, sometimes so is some of the
skin. Understandably, this leads to some swelling, rawness and
redness.
Usually, if waxing is done several days ahead of time and they
stay out of direct sunlight, a body builder's skin is able to
heal for competition. Usually ... There have been some
complications such as infected ingrown hairs and other
infections that have left scars.
Which means waxing is not the best laser hair removal
alternative.
A host of body builders use the hair removal product of a
depilatory to remove all of their body hair. It's an inexpensive
method that can remove hair on the chest, back, underarms, hair
in the bikini line area ONLY and legs quickly, easily and
painlessly for a few days, but - You knew there had to be a but -
A depilatory employs strong chemicals that basically, "melt",
the hairs above the skin, which can then be wiped from the skin
surface.
Problem is, hair and skin are composed of similar materials so
that these harsh chemicals that melt the hair can also burn the
skin and cause swelling, redness, bumps, ingrown hairs and even
scarring.
So using a depilatory hair removal product is still not the best
laser
hair removal alternative.
Which is why many a body builder is still a body shaver when it
comes to inexpensive, reliable and relatively safe hair removal
that, when done properly, provides smooth results.
Sure, there's only one way to receive a, "razor burn", and
that's by shaving. And it's possible to get scrapes, nicks and
cuts, as well as rashes, bumps and ingrown hairs from shaving,
but -
These are minor side effects as compared to all other hair
removal methods. And they can be covered with make up if need
be. (Yes, make up is worn by body builders, when necessary.)
And shaving truly can be done on any part of a body builder's
body. In fact, if it happens to be part of their overall
presentation, there's really no other way a body builder can
achieve a beautiful bald head than by head shaving.
These then are the hair removal experiences and results of body
builders from which the everyday person can learn.
Although there is one more method of hair removal for all body
shavers, including those into head shaving - It's still shaving,
but with an inexpensive tool designed to easily, quickly, and
most importantly, safely provide clean, close, and smooth hair
removal - All over your body.
