Female Chin Hair Removal - 7 Options

An economical and easy method for female chin hair removal is desperately sought after by many women considering how self-conscious they feel about facial hair and especially unwanted hair on or under the chin.

This article provides an overview of the main options available for female chin hair removal covering permanent, prescription, non-prescription, and home methods.

Option 1

Electrolysis is the only hair removal method that has a full consensus verifying that it is a truly permanent method - if of course it is performed properly by a professional practitioner.

Electrolysis can be expensive although the costs will of course be greatly reduced for female chin hair removal in view of the small area and smaller number of hair follicles that need to be treated. Each hair follicle needs individual attention and depending on the amount of growth, the procedure can take between 2 and 12 hours, with costs ranging from $25 to $100 per hour.

Option 2

Laser hair removal is very popular and much cheaper than electrolysis. It is important to have a thorough consultation with a qualified practitioner and even have a test area done on a part of the body not so visible. Every individual is different when it comes to skin type, hair texture, color, etc. and all these variables can have an effect on how successful the procedure will be.

Nevertheless, laser female chin hair removal can be economical and long lasting. As many hair follicles are treated at once the chin area can be finished in just 2 to 3 minutes. Repeated sessions are necessary to catch all the hairs as hair is in different stages of growth at any given time. Prices can vary widely so you need to consult with your local clinic.

Chin hair can be rather coarse, especially as women get older. There are some female chin hair removal methods that can be done at home although caution is needed so as not to irritate the hair follicles on this very visible part of the face.

Option 3

Depilatories are strong chemicals that dissolve the hair. If you decide on this option test a small area on another part of the body that is not so visible and see how your skin reacts. Observe the timing very carefully so as not to leave the preparation on the skin longer than absolutely necessary to avoid skin damage.

Option 4

For the few stray hairs on the chin, tweezing is a good option. Invest in a quality pair of tweezers, perform the procedure in good light, preferably with a magnifying mirror, and pull the hair out straight in the direction of growth.

Option 5

Waxing is perhaps the most popular method of female chin hair removal. It is inexpensive and these days, many waxing preparations have additional ingredients to soothe the skin. After all, the hair follicle is bound to protest even a little, when a hair is wrenched out given the nerve endings that are affected.

Pressing the area with the fingers right after pulling the waxing strip will minimize the discomfort, and if you follow up by rubbing an ice cube over the area, recovery is much faster.

Two other options are available if you use waxing or tweezing to remove stray chin hair.

Option 6

Vaniqa is a prescription cream which reduces hair growth in women. Just apply it twice a day and many women see a significant reduction in hair growth after about 2 months. It makes waxing and tweezing much easier as the amount of hair is reduced and often the hair that does regrow is finer.

You will need to see your doctor to get the prescription. Side effects are minimal, mainly skin irritation which passes.

Note: Vaniqa is only for women and girls over the age of 12.

Option 7

Kalo is a non-prescription hair growth retardant which was on the market about 3 years before Vaniqa came out in the year 2000. It comes in a lotion which is ideal for the facial areas. Just rub it into the skin after a hair removal session, about 3 times, at 15 minute intervals, and that's it until the next time you have to perform female chin hair removal.

About a 10-15% reduction in hair growth will be seen after each session until much of the hair fails to grow back.

Note: Kalo can safely be used by men and women and even children.

With both Vaniqa and Kalo results vary. In the case of Vaniqa, just over half the women who used it in clinical trials noticed a reduction in hair growth. With Kalo, the company which makes it, Nisim International, offers a no questions asked money refund for any women who are not satisfied with the results.

So in conclusion, when it comes to female chin hair removal, there are a number of options. Will you choose a permanent or semi-permanent solution such as electrolysis or laser hair removal?

Of would you prefer to carry out the procedure yourself at home every few weeks? Depending on your skin type, hair texture and color, you can experiment with the options above and arrive at the most convenient solution.

Understanding Hair Growth- A Guided Tour Of The Hair Follicle

With the average person having about 100,000 hair follicles on the scalp to produce head hair, much work is going on daily in these tiny hair factories. Understanding the process of hair growth and how hair is formed can give a better understanding of why production stops resulting in hair loss.

Let's take a brief tour of the hair follicle with explanations in layman's terms, given the fact that few of us have taken medical studies.

The tour starts at the outer layer of skin called the epidermis which in turn has three layers starting with the germinative layer at the bottom, the granular layer above, and finally the cornified layer, the part which is visible.

The Bottom

The hair follicles are tiny pear shaped cups located in the germinative and granular layers of the skin on the scalp. While there are numerous layers and components that make up the hair follicle, our attention centers on the dermal papilla, located at the bottom end of the hair follicle.

Tiny blood vessels provide the nourishment needed for the dermal papilla or bulb shaped part of the hair follicle to keep up new cell production.

Now here is where a fascinating process kicks in. As new cells are formed in the bulb shaped dermal papilla, older cells are pushed upwards. As they reach the top of the bulb the cells are remarkably arranged into cylindrical layers, one inside the other, six in total.

While the outer 3 layers form a sheath in the hair follicle, the inner 3 layers begin to form the actual hair.

Other cells in the bulb produce the pigment (melanin) that gives hair its color. As the hair moves up the hair follicle, being pushed up as new cells are formed, the pigment or melanin in the inner part of the hair is carried upwards also.

The Middle

It is in the middle of the hair follicle that the cells which have been growing die. As they push upward they harden and now consist of a variety of proteins called keratins forming what we recognize as hair. Keratins are made up of smaller units called amino acids.

Interestingly some of these keratin proteins contain a high level of sulphur. (Some hair loss herbal remedies on the market use sulphur containing amino acids to provide an underlying matrix for healthy hair growth. See resource box below for NewHair Biofactors)

The Top

As this process of new cell creation from the bottom pushes older cells to the middle where they die and harden they finally arrive at the top of the hair follicle where they emerge from the scalp as the hair shaft.

Sebaceous glands near the top of the hair follicle produce an oily secretion called 'sebum' which helps make the hair water proof, and plays an important role in preventing bacteria from getting out of control which may become harmful.

Hair Close-Up

When you examine a hair under a powerful microscope you will see the surface almost resembles the scales on a fish. When the scales are smoothed in one direction the hair looks shiny and lays flat. When the scales are roughed up by an ingredient that moves 'against the grain' the hair appears stiffer and stands up. This characteristic is utilized in some hair products that claim to increase body and volume.

To use another comparison, hair may be likened to a tree with a tough outer bark. The inner shaft of the hair is moist lying beneath the protective bark. If the outer protective covering is stripped off through rough treatment the inner part of the hair, the cortex, is exposed and may break.

What does this tour of the hair follicle teach us about hair loss and hair growth?

It can be seen that hair production is an amazingly complex process that can be affected by many things. As these tiny hair factories, the hair follicles depend on a supply of healthy, oxygenated blood that is part of a healthy circulatory system, lifestyle choices are likely to affect hair loss and hair growth to a considerable degree.

So if you are concerned about thinning hair, take a look at your diet and exercise regimen. They can have a huge bearing on the health of your skin and scalp.

Helpful Resources

Jonathon E. Phillips, a leading hair loss analyst, firmly believes in this 'whole body' approach to hair loss rather than relying on prescription drugs which often require almost a lifetime commitment with subsequent side effects.

He sets out his Step-By-Step Hair Power Regimen in his illuminating 168 ebook "Hair Loss No More." I personally have a copy and enthusiastically recommend it to anyone concerned about hair loss. (See resource box)

Another resource I use is a hair shampoo from a company called Nisim International, hair specialists for over 20 years. Their NewHair Biofactors System contains a deep cleansing shampoo which neutralizes the effect of DHT, the substance which gets into the hair follicle and basically shuts it down causing loss of hair. Again, see the resource box for details.

An understanding of hair growth can help us be very cautious when evaluating the claims of some hair loss products on the market which attempt to treat the problem superficially from the outside rather than getting to the root of the problem from the inside.

Additionally, educating ourselves about hair growth and the function of the hair follicle can be a major factor in controlling hair loss and doing what is necessary in our lives to promote healthy hair growth.

What You Need To Know About Facial Hair Removal

What is the best way to remove unwanted facial hair? Shaving is by far the most common method of hair removal for both men and women. Men have been shaving their beards and mustaches for thousands of years. One need only take a look at the huge selection of razors available today to support this. Shaving creams, gels, foams and other products facilitate the shaving process and help reduce skin irritation. But for women suffering with unwanted facial hair, their choices are not so obvious. Many men too are looking for alternatives.

Women with excessive facial hair usually see it along the upper lip, down the sides of the face, and on the chin. Unlike with men, shaving isn't the best removal option. So what's a woman to do? Because facial hair is typically much more than a few wayward hair follicles, plucking these areas isn't an effective method. It's time-consuming and painful! What's needed instead is a method designed for more widespread removal like depilatories and waxing or even electrolysis or laser treatment.

1. Depilatories

Depilatories are an inexpensive, short-term facial hair removal option. Available in gel, cream, lotion, aerosol, and roll-on forms, they contain a highly alkaline chemical - usually calcium thioglycolate - that dissolves the protein structure of the hair, causing it to separate easily from the skin surface. Extreme care must be taken when using on the face as these products can irritate and even burn facial skin. And because depilatories only dissolve visible hair, this method must be repeated frequently as new hair growth appears. The upside is, this process is inexpensive and can be done in the privacy of your own home.

2. Electrolysis

Electrolysis is a permanent hair removal technique that works by destroying individual hair follicles so that hair can no longer grow. Electrolysis and laser are better options. They're permanent facial hair removal methods and they work by damaging the base of the hair follicle so that hair growth no longer occurs. Both of these are expensive options and repeated sessions are generally necessary to remove all hair. But considering that relatively small surface areas are involved, many people are able to justify the costs, the risks and the discomfort involved.

3. Tweezing and Waxing

While depilatories remove hair at the skin's surface, "epilatories," such as tweezers and waxes, pluck hairs from below the surface. Waxing offers many benefits and is the facial hair removal choice of men and women alike. Like with tweezers, when waxing the hair is 'plucked' from its root. This method doesn't damage the actual hair follicle, so new hair growth will continue to occur, but unlike depilatories, new hair growth won't appear on the skin surface as quickly. In fact, it usually isn't visible for several weeks. And, if you're brave enough, waxing facial hair can be done by you at home, however many opt to have someone else perform this procedure. Waxing and tweezing may be more painful than using a depilatory, but the results are longer lasting. Because the hair is plucked at the root, new growth is not visible for several weeks after treatment.

The cost, safety, effectiveness, and ease of use of the various methods, as well as the area and amount of hair growth to be treated, are some factors to weigh in choosing a method and deciding whether to go to a professional. Often, different methods are better suited for different areas.

Winter Hair Care

The dry and cold winter sometimes is very damaging for your hair. Hair and skin easily becomes dry during this season of year from the dry indoor heating and the dry cold weather outside. If preventative steps are not taken during this seasons then your hair can get damage and to ensure that your hair does not get damaged here are some Tips by one of the leading hair stylist of the country "Nadeem Ahmed" based in chandigarh "Rex Salon & Academy" who have earned distinction in Limca book of records by cutting hair with fire, papercutter, Glass and even Blindfolded

During the winter season, natural haircare requires some change and It also requires a little extra attention to the elements of the weather that can harm your hair.

1. It is always good to cover your hair by some scarf (Silk Scarf would be better) or cap yeah you can also wear that Monkey Cap ehehe to protect your hair from the cold and wind, but always keep in mind that its not tight it can stop the Blood circulation of your scalp.

2. Deep conditioner can help heal damaged hair and protect it. They also coat the strands and fill in the hair cuticle, thus making the hair stronger.

3. Hot Oil Massage specially with olive oil, it will soothe the nerves of your scalp and highly effective for most of the hair problems.

4. Most of the people i have seen do lots of Over shampooing and some under conditioning as they feel it will prevent their hair from damaging but its just opposite it damage the hair more. They actually makes your hair dry and frizzy hair, so I recommend shampooing two to three times a month. Also make sure you wash your hair with lukewarm water since hot water makes the hair dry.

5. Conditioners are a must after every wash especially for dry and thick hair and if the hair is very dry and lifeless go for a deep conditioning treatment in any of the good salon. They have lot of treatments.

6. Sometimes serum are also useful but make sure it is of good quality. Just take two to three drops of the serum and rub your palms together and just apply it strand by strand for better result.

7. Add moisture to your hair, It is very neccessary any chemical treatment like color, highlights or perming has been done on your hair. Look for a conditioner with cetyl alcohol as it one of the best moisturizing agent and is derived from coconut and another ingredient to look for is cetearyl alcohol. But if your hair is very damaged or dry always have moisturizing shampoo in your bathroom.

8. Dont use lots of hot stuff on your hair like blow dryers, Roller settings or curling irons but if it very neccessary then make sure to use a leave in conditioner before using the item on your hair.

That's it, these are few good tips and we are sure that it will be beneficient for your beautiful tress. But hey dont forget to thanx Nadeem after you have those beautiful shining hair, visit him at http://zulfmakers.8m.com
