Guest guest Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Hi Group, I'm silent member of this group. I need your help to solve underarms waxing problem permanently. Generally i buy strips and remove hair myself. sometimes i go to parlour. But it grows within one week to 10 days time. Then can't wear sleevless tops, it looks ugly. and hair also not grown enough to go waxing. So need to wait for few days. This duration is troublesome. I thought to go for permanent hair removal but i don't have any idea how efficient it is and how to approach someone for it. Please give some suggestions so i can enjoy wearing sleevless tops always. Thank you, Toral. ______________________________\ ____Ready for the edge of your seat?

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Hi Toral, Sugaring would be good - more permanent and hair doesn't have to be as long as it does for waxing - you could be sugared every 7 to 10 days. Also, you can always shave between sugarings. So many people think that shaving encourages hair growth and makes hair thicker and darker, but it really doesn't. Only thing that is more in the direction of permanent removal is laser hair removal. Not always effective right away - depends on her coloring and hair texture. For some people, it just leads to having less hair, for others it can completely stop it from growing. I'd be concerned about using laser in the underarm area though because of all the lymph nodes there. Something about that just doesn't sit right with me, although I don't think there is conclusive evidence that it causes problems. Hope this helps!

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Hi bobbi, I got the information below from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugaring_(epilation) I found this to be a good acurate description of the process. John Sugaring (also known as 'Persian waxing') is a method of hair removal that has been in use for thousands of years. The process is similar to waxing, though there are a few differences in the two. Sugaring is supposed to be less painful because it only sticks to the hair (wax will also attach to the skin). Since it is made out of natural ingredients, it is supposed to be less harmful than wax as well; however, " natural " does not necessarily mean " safe " . Though the process and the materials usually leaves a sticky mess, sugar is soluble in water and therefore sugaring involves a relatively easy cleanup with warm water. Sugaring paste can be prepared with common household food items, such as sugar, lemon juice, honey or molasses. Getting the consistency correct takes some practice for most users. The area to be depilated is typically dusted with powder prior to application of the sugaring solution, which is spread on with a spatula, tongue depressor, or other flat object. After the sticky paste is applied to the skin, a strip of porous cloth or paper is pressed into the preparation. The strip is then quickly pulled away in the opposite direction of hair growth, taking hairs with it. The above is a description for " sugar waxing " - There is another form of " sugaring " which is considered to be the ancient form of this technique. " Sugaring " uses a thick sugar paste consisting of sugar, lemon and water. The ball of paste is applied and molded, by hand, against the natural direction of hair growth and with a flick of the wrist the sugar is quickly removed in the direction of growth- taking the entire hair (root and all) with it. The same ball of sugar paste is used over and over again until all the hair has been removed. There is no risk of cross contamination with this technique making it a much more sanitary procedure than waxing. Although it's not painless this form of Sugaring tends to be considerably less painful than waxing as well. There are a number of reasons for this- The sugar paste will not adhere to the skin, the paste is heated to body temperature only, and the hair is extracted in the direction of growth making it more effective in extracting the entire hair and leaving little to no breakage. Pre-made sugar waxing solutions are also sold under several brand names and can be found in most drug stores. Professional sugaring products can either be made at home or purchased from manufactures but they are sold to certified practitioners only. , Bobbi <herbalsoaplady wrote: > > Hi John, > > You wrote: > " Sugaring would be good - more permanent and hair doesn't have to be > as long as it does for waxing - you could be sugared every 7 to 10 > days.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Hi Sue, The internet is a wonderful thing. I got the following from another web site. My cousin has used the method for years and does it for many clients. John AncientHealingOils.com Ingredients 1 cup sugar Half a lemon for the juice 1/4 cup honey A little bit of Molasses if you have any like a drizzle Cornstarch (to powder with for tautness making it more effective) Something to spread the mixture with like a tongue depressor, popsicle stick, cheese spreader or spatula. Cotton fabric (any old thing you can find or buy some strips at a store) Mix lemon, sugar, and honey in a bowl. Microwave on high for about 2- 3 minutes, until it bubbles into a smooth consistency. I find this a lot simpler then turning on the stove, but it would be safer if you watched over the heat on the stove. If you use the stove use LOW heat. Now move away from the mixture and go do something while it cools a little down so you can touch it safely. A little bit warmer though is better though to use. Microwave it for 20 seconds if you find the need to. The NADS commercial said re heating isn't necessary, but it's no big deal doing so and I find it is necessary as all sugaring products do need just a little heating. Make sure your legs or where ever you wish to place it is clean and dry. Then dust area with cornstarch so it's more effective as it draws out oil. Spread a thin layer on your leg. Cover with a strip of fabric, and rubbing the strip the opposite way of hair growth, about 3 times. Grab the fabric end and pull it off very quickly against the direction of the hair growth or the other way if you wish. It will hurt, but after awhile it's a lot less painful. I'm sure you're strong enough to withstand pain. Reheat the mix if it gets too hard to spread. This stores for a long time. I just use a vitamin E face cream container that's plastic since that's fairly big which costs only a buck at the dollar store. Just make sure it's clean and oil free. You could also use a glass jar as well. , Sue Mogle <suemogle wrote: > > > Hi, John, > > I've never heard of " sugaring " technique for hair removal-- how is it done? > > Thanks! > --Sue > > Re: Under arms Waxing problem Posted by: " John Croskey " John blckfox Sun Aug 19, 2007 7:05 pm (PST) Hi Toral, > > Sugaring would be good - more permanent and hair doesn't have to be > as long as it does for waxing - you could be sugared every 7 to 10 > days. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also blonde, the ones they don't guarnatee. I get horrible rashes from shaving my underarms when it's hot, so for me laser was a no brainer. I had laser 5+ years ago. I do have some growth return, I shave about one time every 1.5-2mos, and then only to look fabulous otherwise longer. I figure it's worth it even if I do have to occasionally shave. DO NOT invest in the very expensive, numbing lotion. Just take some calming EO blend to sniff with you. I am a huge chicken, don't like self inflicted pain (Which this definitely comes under), didn't need it. Took a passion flower and camomille tab before I went and that was just fine. Do go with a reputable company, and look for combo area specials. Feel free to email me off list with any questions. Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
