Most people have fine hairs that often grow in areas that are less eye-catching, such as on the chin, the edges of the cheeks, or even above the lips like a mustache. There are at least five ways you can get rid of fine hair on your face without the hassle of going to a salon.
1. Waxing
Waxing is an effective option for getting rid of fine hairs on the face. Waxing products are available in the market in various forms and price variations. And, you can get the appearance of smooth facial skin and body without the need to spend deep enough. Waxing results can last up to 4 - 8 weeks. Just make sure to always take care of your skin regularly, even after waxing. Do not use face and body care products that contain harsh chemical compounds or exfoliant products for a while after waxing. Don't forget to always apply sunscreen, as waxing will remove the skin's first protective layer.
It doesn't matter whether you wax with the help of an expert at a beauty salon or at home, the important thing is to make sure you choose a wax product that is specially formulated for sensitive skin. For areas that are more sensitive, it is important to always use products with natural ingredients that are applied directly to the surface of the skin according to body temperature. Do this, and the pain you will feel will be much less.
2. Threading
The threading procedure is similar to waxing. In principle, these two procedures will pluck out fine hairs for a more lasting effect than simply shaving. A trained beautician can clean all fine hair, including stubborn hair. Although they are similar, threading won't hurt as much as waxing because it won't remove the top layer of skin. If you give up waxing, you may want to consider threading for a later session. Threading results will last up to 4-8 weeks.
3. Remove the hair
In beauty salons and spas, hair removal services are usually only used when touch-ups. If there are still hairs left over from the wax that are not removed, the salon assistant will remove the hairs manually instead of repeating the waxing steps. Hair removal can be done at home. The hair removal results will last as long as waxing, because the hair removal process will lift the hair up to the roots.
4. Laser therapy
Laser therapy to remove fine hair on the face is currently popular. The facial areas to which the laser target subscribes are the area between the upper lip and nose (mustache), sideburns and chin, due to the ups and downs of body hormones. The benefit? Every time you do a 30-minute laser therapy session, not only will your hair grow smoother and thinner, it will slow down its growth rate as well. You will have to come back every 4-10 weeks to do so touch-ups, depending on the location of the fine hairs and how many times have you done the therapy.
Laser therapy is not recommended for treating child hairs growing around the hairline. For most people, laser therapy on the forehead is not possible because the child's hair is too thin to react to the laser. Another risk is blindness. When doing laser therapy, you will be asked to wear special anti radiation glasses.
5. Shave
Shaving the face is a very common thing to do. But remember, the razor blade will not pull the hair out at the roots. When shaving, you will only smooth the surface of the skin. Shaving also exfoliates the skin, which can be irritating if you shave too often.
Shaving is only effective for an instant look when you're in a rush, but it's not the ideal way to get rid of fine hair.
