How do you handle body hair - do you go natural, wax, shave or use creams?

Where, how often? And yes, both men and women can join in this one, everyone knows guys are just as keen to look and feel good.How do you handle body hair - do you go natural, wax, shave or use creams?
im a beauty therapist and from experience (personal and looking at others) waxing (even though it hurts) is the way to go. after a while of waxing your hair will be thinner, finner and will stop growing all together.


the other way is lazer (IPL, VPL, SPL etc.) this is a permanent hair removal that really works the only down side is the cost and you can only do it on people with medium to light skin and semi to dark hair.How do you handle body hair - do you go natural, wax, shave or use creams?
I wax, according to my hair growth pattern, I need to wax after 20 days. Its a good option because as you keep waxing with time, the hair growth becomes really fine. Also, waxing lasts longer than the other methods. I wax usually my whole body.
some of my friends do it with candle wax, those giant candles. i rather use cream, like nivea just smear it on and shave it off with a blade less shaver. how neat. best thing it keeps my legs really soft, for days, and the hair grows slower. oh by the way, i'm a man, heterosexual, i must add.
As a guy I get my body hair waxed. I get it done about every 6-8 weeks. Though it is not as popular with guys, I do it anyway.
I go natural as for my arms and face... (all the girls in my class get rid of theirs, so maybe I'll sound weird if I say I don't, they don't believe me lol)





Waxing otherwise..
wax
I do the traditional, shaving my legs and arms :D

Three quick questions, hair makeup and waxing?

Hair- I have natrual long afro curly hair , but I was wondering is this product any good to use on my hair to give it a nice smell (some of the products I use smell gross) and look- either A-http://www.asos.com/Tigi/Tigi-Catwalk-Cu鈥?/a> or B- http://www.asos.com/Tigi/Tigi-Catwalk-Cu鈥?/a> Secondly Makeup- Im going on a big night in London and I have deep pink streaks in my hair and my dress is also pink everything else is gold eg jewlley belt shoes, what should I go for with makeup? and Lastly Im getting a wax on Friday morning will it be ok for Saturday night eg if theres any redness wil it have gone down?Three quick questions, hair makeup and waxing?
1.yes i would go with A or B it dosent matter about that but i would recomend the B more than A because if you have afro hair then you want something that wont add weight to your hair the cream would but the spray wont.





2. Makeup go with a shiny gold pink





3. Yes i get wax all the time and it is always gone either that night or the next moring just make sure they remove the excess wax and then they put on some aloe to smooth the surface and keep it healthyThree quick questions, hair makeup and waxing?
Hair-you can't go wrong with tigi products their great,


Make-up- go for gold eyeshadow all over the lid and a deep pink at the outer edge, put a small line under the eye too, sizzling hot colours are so in this season.


Waxing- you'll be fine





have a good night
All Tigi products smell amazing, especially the Catwalk range. There's a much bigger selection of products on www.hqhair.com which is where I get most of my stuff from. You could even ';Ask Jayne'; on there and she writes back to you with a personal reply of the best products to use and always gives you a little code to use to get a discount from your next order.





For makeup you should go for quite a natural look for foundation and lipstick etc, but go for something really bright and contrasting for your eyeshadow - something like a deep green would be amazing against hot pink.





Also a tip for 2008 - matching your shoes and belt is a big no-no!





For your after-wax care just try something like aloe vera to reduce any redness and hope for the best!

  • Is it considered normal for men to wax body hair?

    First off i aint gay or anything, but i am starting to have some hair on my shoulders and back, its not much and not long but i am sure its a matter of time.





    Now sooner or later i am going to get rid of it and i would shave it but i hate when the hair starts to grow it gets all ichy and irritating. So i am thinking that i will wax it.





    But for a guy to wax his body hair, is this normal? does this make a guy gay? What if i was to wax most of my body hair? What do you think?Is it considered normal for men to wax body hair?
    Yes, it is perfectly normal. Its okay, you dont have to hide it. Lost of men do it.Is it considered normal for men to wax body hair?
    guys wax their body hair for lots of reasons. Champion bike racers like Lance Armstrong wax their body hair to cut down on wind resistance. Nothing gay about that. Nowadays, we have lots of choices in life. If it makes you feel better, try it. It's not something irreversible.
    The only thing that makes you gay is being sexually attracted to other guys. Nothing else.





    As far as your body hair goes, the best thing to do is just get over it. It's not mentally healthy to keep fighting your body reality. If you are hairy, be PROUDLY HAIRY. Tinkering with superficial stuff like hair all the time leads to poor self esteem. You are who you are -- rejoice in the body you have.





    Anyway, who wants to look like some pathetic hairless Ken doll? Body hair is a sign that you have normal levels of male hormones. Be glad you have it!
    i woulld only do it if you have a lot of if you ever get a lot... otherwise i wouldnt worry about it cuz once you wax it each time it will grow back thicker so be careful!!! good luck deciding...
    I think it's great that you want to wax, and more guys should do it. Hairy guys are just nasty. :P


    It in no way makes you gay, it just shows you have concern for your appearance and hygiene, which can be rather appealing to the ladies.
    Well, we seem to have a really good range of opinions, so here's mine.





    I'm a straight guy who has regular full body waxings. My wife thinks I'm having some sort of mid-life crisis. Well maybe I am but if this is its worst symptom, I'll carry on until I decide I don't want to do it any more.





    There's nothing gay about getting waxed, so REALLY don't worry about that aspect. It's a totally normal modern practice that some men (of all orientations) choose to do





    The answerer who said that the hair grows back thicker after waxing was wrong except in a tiny minority of cases - I have found the exact opposiste (it comes back finer) on most of my body but strangely, no effect on the thickness of re-grown hairs on my chest. I think for most people, the more you get waxed, the hair grows back finer, more slowly and fewer hairs grow back. However, total hairlessness in the treated area is more of a wish than a reality for the vast majority of people however many times they get waxed.





    If you want permanent hair removal, laser treatment is the answer as long as you are light skinned and your hair is dark. It's expensive - but maybe not if you otherwise have to go for waxings every month or two. I understand for most people it's completely effective and truly permanent.





    Happy hairlesness!

    2 questions for cosmeticians about hair styling products: wax/mud and root body spray?

    Is there any difference between hair styling wax and hair molding mud for building body, definition %26amp; hold? If so, what is it? Is one not as effective as the other or are they for 2 different purposes? Also before my stylist blow dries my hair, she spritzes the roots with some sort of root spay that is supposed to add body. I was going to purchase some but someone told me that using plain old hair spray on damp hair has the same effect, is this true? Thanks if you can help.2 questions for cosmeticians about hair styling products: wax/mud and root body spray?
    I AM not a beautician, but i do have tons of hair product. root lifter is the stuff she prays on your roots, and this will make your hair have more body. VO5 is really good, but the best is big sexy hair, also one of the best things to use on your hair is redkin rough paste, it comes in like a toothpaste pump, it's kind of thick, but it works great on short hair, it gives you the messy look. I put it on in the early morning, and at the end of the day , it still looks good. they are for two different purposes, the wax and molding, molding holds, and wax looks messy

    How common is it to get a woman customer who has hair that needs to be waxed on their back and chest?

    I am talking to people who actually wax for a living. My neice has PCOS and she is terrified of going to our local day spa to get a total body wax because she is afraid the staff will think she's gross and make fun of here. Is this a common thing for the waxers? Thanks.How common is it to get a woman customer who has hair that needs to be waxed on their back and chest?
    i don't know, but they're waxers, so i'm sure they have seen hair anywhere and everywhere! hahaha.





    besides, if they're professional and mature, they have no business making fun of her.





    tell her not to worry and go! :)
