Not all everyone welcome hair on specific areas of their bodies, especially on the chest. Chest hair is perceived by many as a sign of masculinity. Alternatively, when hair is missing, the muscles are more evident. Some men find it very annoying and unattractive. As a result, there are men who are pleases to wear their chest hair while some would do anything possible to get rid of them forever. It is not normal for women to grow chest hair but some women do. This is due to hormonal imbalances otherwise known as hirsutism. This can cause a lack of self confidence and decreased self-esteem in these women. Since it is not ladylike to have hair all over the chest, these women will surely embrace any procedure to clear them of this undesired hair. In response to the demand for chest hair removal techniques, modern products and innovative technology have been established. The elimination of chest hair is dependent on the volume of hair to be removed, the time you have available and what you can afford. Chest hair can be removed by shaving, sugaring, waxing, threading, and using special cremes or by laser technology.
1.Shaving
Removing hair can be done by simply by shaving it off. The disadvantages with this method is that the hairs grow back very rapidly and the continuous use of razors will result in irritation. If you choose to shave your chest, you will be required to do it very often and you may be able to completely remove the hairs.
2.Sugaring
Using this technique, a mixture is made by mixing sugar and lemon juice and other natural ingredients. The procedure is similar to waxing. In that, the mixture is coated all over the chest and then pulled off sharply to remove hairs straight from the roots. The procedure can be performed quickly and is affordable as the ingredients are common in a normal home.
3.Waxing
Waxing can successfully rid the chest of undesired hair but it is an excruciatingly painful procedure and the outcome will only last for a few weeks. In this technique, a wax is applied to the chest covering all visible hairs. The wax is usually heated. After it has been totally applied, a strip is pressed firmly on the chest and then it is pulled sharply away from the chest.
The hairs are pulled straight out of the roots leaving the chest smooth and silky for up to 8 weeks. However, waxing comes with many drawbacks. It can cause itchiness, redness and also mild bleeding. If it is done incorrectly it can result in hairs breaking instead of pulling out and this will in turn lead to quicker regrowth. The procedure can also be costly.
