Shaving armpits is just one method used for hair removal. Is it the best method? It depends on your personal preference. I'll discuss a few different options and you can decide which method is best for you. In addition to shaving, hair can be removed by waxing, tweezing, laser hair removal, and hair removal creams. In order to choose which method is best for you, consider the cost, convenience, results, and pain factor of each.
Now that we all know the myth that shaving armpits causing hair to grow back thicker and darker is false, we can review other factors when deciding whether or not to use this method. Shaving is a quick way to remove hair and it is relatively safe as long as you do it correctly. It can be done in the comfort of your own home and is very inexpensive which makes it very convenient compared to other methods. One drawback to shaving armpits is that it is a short term fix. Hair in this area grows back very quickly, so hair removal by shaving requires more frequent upkeep than other methods.
If just hearing the word "tweezing" makes you cringe, you may not even consider removing sensitive underarm hair this way. This method requires plucking the hairs one at a time. It is the least expensive of all hair removal methods; however, it ranks very high on the pain scale.
Tweezing lasts longer than shaving which makes it a hair removal method worth considering.
Waxing armpit hair takes a little more preparation, especially if you have it done at a salon. This method costs more than tweezing and shaving because you are paying for the service. The pain factor rates higher than shaving and relative to tweezing based on your tolerance of pain.
Waxing is another method that removes hair for longer periods of time than shaving and about the same as tweezing.
Laser treatments are probably the most expensive form of hair removal because not only are you paying for the service, you are paying for the use of technical equipment as well. Laser treatments promise permanent hair removal, so you can recoup some of the cost by saving on the supplies and time of methods that are not permanent.
Hair removal creams are another viable option instead of shaving armpits. Creams are very easy to use at home making them very convenient and they are as painless as shaving. They are rated in the middle of the scale as far as length of time before hair grows back compared to the other methods discussed. You can purchase hair removal creams at different prices depending on the brand and quality of the product.
Whether you decide shaving armpits is best or one of the other methods discussed, we can all agree that there are many factors to consider. Determine the comfort level, convenience, cost, and the results you hope to achieve in order to choose the method that best suites you.
