Shaving
Shaving is by far the most common method of removing unwanted hairs. There are two methods of doing this, with an electric razor, or manually. Whichever method is used, the hairs are removed for a short period of time. Depending on the growth rate, and thickness of hair, this period may be for only a few hours, but may last for several days. For people with dark hair, there may appear a shadow caused by the hairs under the skin. This makes it look like the person needs a shave, even though they are clean shaven.
Shaving with electric razors is the easiest method. The razor is run over the area to be shaved, in all directions. This trims the hair to the level of the skin. For most razors, the skin has to be completely dry for it to work, though some have been designed to work under wet conditions. It is possible to buy drying agents to apply before shaving stops, and this helps to get a good shave. Most people find that they do not get as close a shave with an electric razor as they do with a wet razor.
Disadvantages:
- Treatment has to be repeated every day.
- May cause damage to the skin from nicks and cuts received during shaving.
- May cause red patches and/or blotches.
- May cause bleeding.
