Bikini Hair Removal

Hair Removal -- -- -- KidsHealth > Teens > Your Body > Skin Stuff >Hair Removal As you browse the aisles of your local drugstore, you may feel a little dizzy. There are hundreds of products devoted to making the hair on your head more lustrous, clean, fragrant, and full - and just steps away, dozens more promise to get rid of your unwanted hair just as easily. Which ones work best? How do they work? And do you need any of them? Different Types of Hair Before removing hair, it helps to know about the different types of hair on our bodies. All hair is made of keratin , a hard protein that's also found in your fingernails and toenails. Hair growth begins beneath the surface of your skin at a hair root inside a hair follicle, a small tube in the skin. You have two types of hair on your body. Vellus hair is soft, fine, and short. Most women have vellus hair on the chest, back, and face. It can be darker and more noticeable in some women than others - especially women with darker complexions. Vellus hair helps the body maintain a steady temperature by providing some insulation. Terminal hair is coarser, darker, and longer than vellus hair and is the type of hair that grows on your head. When a teen reaches puberty, terminal hair starts to grow in the armpits and pubic region. On guys, terminal hair begins to grow on the face and other parts of the body such as the chest, legs, and back. Terminal hair provides cushioning and protection. In some cases, excess hair growth, called hirsutism (pronounced: hur -suh-tih-zum), may be the result of certain medical conditions. In girls, polycystic ovary syndrome and other hormonal disorders can cause dark, coarse hair to grow on the face, especially the upper lip, and on the arms, chest, and legs. Some medications, like anabolic steroids , can also cause hirsutism. Getting Rid of Hair Shaving How It Works: Using a razor, a person removes the tip of the hair shaft that has grown out through the skin. Some razors are completely disposable, some have a disposable blade, and some are electric. Guys often shave their faces, and women often shave their underarms, legs, and bikini areas. How Long It Lasts: 1 to 3 days Pros: Shaving is fairly inexpensive. All you need is some warm water, a razor, and if you choose, shaving gel or cream. You don't need an appointment - shaving is a do-it-yourself endeavor, resulting in smooth, hairless skin. Cons: Razor burn, bumps, nicks, cuts, and ingrown hairs are side effects of shaving. Ingrown hairs occur when hairs are cut below the level of the skin. When the hair begins to grow, it grows within the surrounding tissue rather than growing out of the follicle. The hair curls around and starts growing into the skin, and irritation, redness, and swelling can occur at the hair follicle. Tips: Look for blades that have safety guard wires - they minimize nicks and cuts. Also, you'll get a closer shave if you shave in the shower after your skin has been softened by warm water. Go slowly, change your blades often to avoid nicks, and use a moisturizing cream to soften the hair. Although most people shave in the opposite direction from the hair growth, if you want to avoid ingrown hairs it can help to shave in the direction the hair grows. If you have an ingrown hair, try exfoliating (removing dead skin cells with a loofah), sterilizing a pointed pair of tweezers with rubbing alcohol, and attempting to pluck out the ingrown hair. Plucking How It Works: Using tweezers, a person stretches the skin tightly, grips the hair close to the root, and pulls it out. How Long It Lasts: 3 to 8 weeks Pros: Plucking is time-consuming because you can only remove one hair at a time. However, it's inexpensive because all you need are tweezers. Cons: Plucking can be painful, so it's best to do it only on small areas, such as the eyebrows, upper lip, and chin. If the hair breaks off below the skin, a person may get an ingrown hair. After plucking, you may notice temporary red bumps because the hair follicle is swollen and irritated. Tips: Make sure you sterilize your tweezers with rubbing alcohol before and after use to reduce the chance of infection. Depilatories How They Work: A depilatory is a cream or liquid that removes hair from the skin's surface. They work by reacting with the protein structure of the hair, so the hair dissolves and can be washed or wiped away. How Long They Last: Several days to 2 weeks Pros: Depilatories work quickly, are readily available at drugstores and grocery stores, and are inexpensive. They're best on the leg, underarm, and bikini areas; special formulations may be used on the face and chin. Cons: Applying depilatories can be messy and many people dislike the odor. If you have sensitive skin, you might have an allergic reaction to the chemicals in the depilatory, which may cause a rash or inflammation. Depilatories may not be as effective on people with coarse hair. Tips: Read product directions carefully and be sure to apply the product only for the recommended amount of time for best results. Waxing How It Works: A sticky wax is spread on the area of skin where the unwanted hair is growing. A cloth strip is then applied over the wax and quickly pulled off, taking the hair root and dead skin cells with it. The wax can be warmed or may be applied cold. Waxing can be done at a salon or at home. How Long It Lasts: 3 to 6 weeks Pros: Waxing leaves the area smooth and is long lasting. Waxing kits are readily available in drugstores and grocery stores. Hair regrowth looks lighter and less noticeable than it is after other methods of hair removal, such as shaving. Cons: Many people mention that the biggest drawback to waxing is the pain when the hair is ripped out by the root. A person may notice temporary redness, inflammation, and bumps after waxing. Professional waxing is also expensive compared to other hair removal methods. People with diabetes should avoid waxing because they are more susceptible to infection. Also, teens who use acne medications such as tretinoin and isotretinoin may want to skip the wax because those medicines make the skin more sensitive. Teens with moles or skin irritation from sunburn should also avoid waxing. Tips: For waxing to work, hair should be at least 1/4 inch (about 6 millimeters) long, so skip shaving for a few weeks before waxing. Waxing works best on legs, bikini areas, and eyebrows. Electrolysis How It Works: Over a series of several appointments, a professional electrologist inserts a needle into the follicle and sends an electric current through the hair root, killing it. A small area such as the upper lip may take a total of 4 to 10 hours and a larger area such as the bikini line may take 8 to 16 hours. How Long It Lasts: Permanently Pros: Electrolysis is the only type of hair removal that is permanent. Cons: Electrolysis takes big bucks and lots of time, so it's usually only used on smaller areas such as the upper lip, eyebrows, and underarms. Many people describe the process as painful, and dry skin, scabs, scarring, and inflammation may result after treatment. Infection may be a risk if the needles and other instruments aren't properly sterilized. Tips: Talk to your doctor if you're interested in this method. He or she may be able to recommend an electrologist with the proper credentials. Laser Hair Removal How It Works: A laser is directed through the skin to the hair follicle, where it stops growth. It works best on light-skinned people with dark hair because the melanin (colored pigment) in the hair absorbs more of the light, making treatment more effective. How Long It Lasts: 6 months Pros: This type of hair removal is long lasting and large areas of skin can be treated at the same time. Cons: A treatment session may cost $500 or more. Side effects of the treatment may include inflammation and redness. Tips: Using cold packs may help diminish any inflammation after treatment. Avoiding the sun before a treatment may make results more effective. Prescription Treatments A cream called eflornithine is available by prescription to treat facial hair growth (generally in women). The cream is applied twice a day until the hair becomes softer and lighter - more like vellus hair. Side effects may include skin irritation and acne . Talk to your doctor or dermatologist if you are concerned about hair growth and removal. Antiandrogen medications are another method that doctors prescribe to reduce the appearance of unwanted hair. Because the hormone androgen can be responsible for hair growth in unwanted areas, antiandrogens can block androgen production. Oral contraceptives are frequently used in conjunction with these medications to enhance their effect and to help regularize the menstrual cycle in girls who need it. Deciding to remove body hair is a personal choice - getting rid of body hair doesn't make a person healthier, and you shouldn't feel pressured to do so if you don't want to. Some cultures view body hair as beautiful and natural, so do what feels right to you! Updated and reviewed by: Barbara P.

Jennifer Aniston Hair

Hollywood PrivacyWatch: Jennifer Aniston, Babs, And Baked Goods : Defamer Hollywood PrivacyWatch: Jennifer Aniston, Babs, And Baked Goods Hollywood PrivacyWatch celebrity sightings are sent in by our readers. Send yours to tips@defamer.com and let the world know that America’s Current Sweetheart eats doughnut holes. In today’s episode: Jennifer Aniston, Barbra Streisand, and Brolins at the Brentwood; Cate Blanchett; A big night at Guy’s, starring, among others, Bijou Phillips, Michelle Rodriguez, Dustin Hoffman, and “Summer and Seth”; A big lunch at Spago, starring Chris Rock, Better Midler, Norman Lear, and a bunch of agents; Geoffrey Rush, Bruce Willis, Maria Shriver, Jason Priestly, and Marcia Cross; Ben Affleck; Drew Barrymore; Zach Braff and Mandy Moore; Kanye West and David Krumholtz; Seal; Jerry O’Connell and Rebecca Romijn; Kevin Smith; Lisa Rinna, Maria Menounos, Cheryl Hines, and Melissa Rivers; Steve Harvey; Vincent Gallo; John Mayer; Shane West. · Jennifer Aniston sighting: Friday Night at “The Brentwood”, sitting at a large round table flanked by babes for girls night out… eating doughnut holes!!! Apparently she didn’t notice “The Brolin Family,” with Babs chomping down fried chicken. It’s amazing, she looks so much hotter in person (jennifer not babs) HDTV will be very kind to her. · Sunday afternoon as I was strolling the Visual Music exhibit at Moca I noticed a woman who appeared to be dressed like a celebrity who was trying to hide from the public. She was wearing a white skirt, has ugg boots on, a white sweater and her hair was in a ponytail screaming “i’m dressed down today, but take my picture anyway.” I ignored this celebrity-wannabe-type until I actually got a closer look at her and recognized a lovelier than on screen Cate Blanchett ! She was with at least one of her babies and a husband type, but I didn’t see his face as I was bored with my date and wanted to leave. · but Sunday at Guy’s in Beverly Hills, Bijou Phillips and Michelle Rodriguez , sharing a venue! I was leaving as Rodriguez was entering, so was unable to witness any flying spittle, but I bet it was awesome. Also at the venue, Dustin Hoffman, Trent Ford, Ben Foster, Danny Masterson, Kelly Osbourne , the guy who played Rufio in Hook (hell yeah—-he’s a midget), and as a special treat, Adam Brody and Rachel Bilson , canoodling and looking exactly like they do on the OC. · What an afternoon lunch today. Sam Haskell dining with good friend Jeff Margolis. A bunch of “suits” from WMA pretending to not care that Bette Midler and Chris Rock were discussing God-only-knows-what in what will be the oddest of couples to eat a meal together. Norman Lear holding court over the special of the day. And Wolfgang Puck himself strolling around the restaurant to shake hands with even the lowliest of patrons. · I hit the paydirt the other day-5 count em’-5 celebrities all in one day!! My eyestalks are strained… 1- Geoffrey Rush , crossing Santa Monica on Doheny (no doubt to eat at that french patisserie). 2- Bruce Willis , on Rodeo, looking fit , wearing a black knitted beanie and striding manfully down the street. At Neiman’s: 3- Maria Shriver with daughter, lunching downstairs. Maria looks like she’s had all the moisture wicked out of her skin and during lunch, a salesperson gave her her purchases and started walking backwards, genuflecting. 4-J ason Priestly in the same restaurant as well, looking good. 5- Marcia Cross on the escalator, dressed casually, looking eerily devoid of emotion. I think I’ve exhausted my celebrity sighting karma for the year. · Took some friends from out of town to Graystone. Turned a corner to find Ben Affleck standing in a beautiful picture window talking on the phone. Dressed down in a yellow canvas jacket and dirty brown ski cap. He was a bit puffy and in need of a shave. After telling my friends the paparazzi arrived in the form of dirty sandwich eating little men. Alias, it turns out was on location there. Looks like Affleck is in dire need of a nap. · First time back in LA in 5 years and I see a celeb (one who I’m a fan of no less) on my first night in town. Friday 3/11 at Sushi Roku on 3rd St I was seated 2 tables from none other than Poison Ivy herself, Miss Drew Barrymore . She was so nice to the staff, had dark hair and in general just seemed lovely and pleasant. I think she was with Nancy Juvonen (her producing partner), another woman and a guy (not Fabrizio). I think it was someone’s birthday. · just saw zach braff and mandy moore at an opening at paul kopeikin gallery in the 6150 wilshire gallery cluster…he looked like he was very seriously considering the purchase of a not-so-interesting photograph as he was deep in conversation with the gallery owner. she looked beautiful, was tanned and wearing a pale green top and is way taller than expected. people weren’t really noticing them and they seemed pretty relaxed. · friday night at the largo was pretty surreal. JB started playing prince’s “pop life” and who takes the stage but mr. kanye west ! even for brion standards, that’s pretty insane. then we shoot over to canter’s afterwards and see mr. math himself, david krumholtz . he was super nice, but who knows how long his show numb3rs (stupidest name ever) will last. · last night (3/22) i saw a heidi klum-less seal lurking on the balcony of the troubadour at the bloc party show. nice to see he supports his fellow limeys. when he and heidi have a kid will people say he klummed a baby seal? i kill me. · A friend and I saw Jerry O’Connell lugging around a giant rusted wagon wheel at the Pasadena Flea Market Sunday. I don’t remember what he is “famous” for, but he is fairly tall and oddly red-faced in person. Also in tow was new girlfriend Rebecca Romijn . In person she is shorter than I expected and not nearly the Glamazon that she plays in her B-movies. I barely recognized her, with no make-up, schlubby clothes and kind of greasy hair. It all made my friend and I feel a lot better about ourselves, proclaiming once again that if we had all those hair and make-up people fawning over us, we would look that good too. Delusional, perhaps, but sadly we did not imagine the pioneer wagon wheel monstrosity that they were dragging back to the homestead. Later, after passing about a mile of similarly rusted wagon wheels and such, we prayed that prairie chic isn’t the next shabby chic. · on mon, 3/21, around 8:50a, as i was waiting for the light on Highland and Sunset, coming out of the McDonalds, the one across from hollywood high, was Kevin Smith in this obnoxious SUV with this big dog in the back. He was looking very silent bob-ish: backwards cap, could tell he had some dark jacket on. my friend’s comment “Like he needs McDonalds- ha!” I was surprised he was out and about that early on a monday morn! · had a few lame c/d/z-list sightings at the fashion week shows at smashbox last night. first i looked down into the front row at kevan hall and noticed some hideous chunky highlights and badly cut choppy hair. i was fairly certain it had to be either lisa rinna or paula abdul, and as soon as i saw the lip-profile, my first inclination was confirmed correct. seated next to lisa rinna was one maria menounos . i’m sorry, but you know your show is the ultimate lame if these two are your front row. i also found it particularly disturbing that these women got prime realty, and cheryl hines (a.k.a. cheryl david from curb) was confined to a shoddy second row seat. Also making appearances were brooke burke and honey from queer eye for the straight girl who was doing interviews. apparently honey modeled at a show last night and her fake boobs were the hit of the catwalk. later on, we heard some guy introduce himself to a girl by telling her that she was in his video, unfortunately we could not confirm who he was. i assume since it wasn’t rick solomon talking to paris hilton he must have been a lesser-known musician. finally, we saw melissa rivers taking photos for approximately 1.5 paparazzi outside. she looked fairly terrible and was wearing an outfit that only joan could love. · Saw radio/TV? celeb Steve Harvey today driving down Coldwater Canyon. He was driving a huge black Bentley or Rolls Royce — and I may have noticed the type of car had I not been surprised by his large purple fedora. · Saw Vincent Gallo coming out of my Continental flight from Newark to LAX yesterday. He may have been on the same flight as me, as he was right outside the gate when I stepped out and was at the same baggage claim as me. He looks exactly the same in life as he does onscreen. He was in a grey coat and dark slacks and waited for his luggage by himself and from what I could see, went unnoticed. · I just got back from a week in LA and I have a few sightings for you. I saw (and spoke to) John Mayer at Mel’s Diner on Sunset. He was with a black guy - not sure who he was. John could not have been nicer - took pictures with me and my friend and chatted for a few minutes. Honestly, a class act. Also saw Shane West at Good Neighbor Cafe (or restaurant?) in Studio City. He was dressed in all black with his hood up and did NOT seem in the mood to chat with anyone. He was eating by himself.
