Beard wax can be used to remove facial hair.
Facial hair removal is a method of temporarily removing unwanted hair from the face. Some of the most common places for facial hair removal are the eyebrows and upper lip, although some people may need to shave other areas such as the chin and sideburns. Many people turn to facial hair removal because it lasts longer than waxing, is faster than tweezing, and is cheaper than laser hair removal. The procedure can be performed at home or in a salon, but the subject must be aware of potential risks, such as pain and irritation.
Facial hair removal can be done to clean a man’s eyebrows.
Hair is pulled out by the roots during facial hair removal, which means it will take longer for the hair to grow back than if it were shaved. People who only have a few loose strands of hair often do not opt for facial hair removal because it is more effective at removing larger strands of hair. Waxing is quick and effective, but it can be intimidating for some people. Fortunately for these people, facial waxing is common in salons and it shouldn’t be hard to find an experienced professional. People who are ready to control the process themselves can find a variety of home hair removal kits at drugstores or beauty supply stores.
Some people may shave their cheeks to remove hair.
There are a few different methods of facial hair removal, differing primarily in the type of wax used. Cold wax strips are generally considered smooth and easy to handle because the cloth or paper applicators come preloaded with wax, but some people find that hot wax is more effective for hair removal. When using either type, the wax is applied to the unwanted hair, partially hardens and adheres to the hair, then quickly removed to pull it out by the roots.
Laser hair removal is more permanent than wax, but also much more expensive.
Eyebrow plucking is a popular procedure for both men and women who want to achieve a sleek look with well-groomed brows. People with bushy, thick, or unruly eyebrows can use facial waxing to shape their brows into simple, symmetrical arches that brighten their eyes and faces. Waxing can also be a cure for “uni brow,” which refers to hairs growing between the brows that make them appear joined together like one brow.
Facial hair removal can help reduce the frequency of shaving.
Since most men routinely shave unwanted hair from their mustaches or beards, waxing is usually done by women who have excessive or visible hair in that area. Plucking your sideburns is another option for shaving your face. Some people even go so far as to shave their cheeks to remove the very fine hairs that grow there.
Precautions should be taken whenever facial hair removal is performed, but people waxing these sensitive areas should take special care. Overheated wax can cause burns, but even properly heated wax can cause unpleasant side effects, such as a rash, tenderness, or redness. A mild, fragrance-free moisturizing cream or oil can be applied after shaving to promote healing and reduce redness, but harsh cleansers or makeup products should be avoided until symptoms subside.
