There is a lot of controversy these days about pubic hair. In particular, the discussion is mostly about whether hair removal should be done in this private area or not. If a decision is made to remove pubic hair, how much actually needs to be removed? Is one trim enough? Should the bikini line be free of unsightly, thick black curls? Or should a woman jump on the bandwagon and go for the much-hyped Brazilian wax?
It seems that waxing is by far the pubic hair removal treatment method of choice for most. Waxing is relatively inexpensive, and in most cases, only temporarily inconvenient, mostly during the time of the actual procedure. When it is gone, the skin in the pubic area is soft and stubble-free.
Waxing is temporary, not a permanent hair removal treatment. With this procedure, the hair is easily pulled out from the hair shaft. The hair will grow back in a few weeks, which means the waxing process will have to be repeated for as long as the effect is desired.
However, some people claim that the hair that does grow back does diminish over time and that these hairs grow back with a different texture: they’re finer and not as course as they once were. Because it is possible that repeatedly pulling the hair out of their shaft may eventually damage the actual hair follicle, the point from which the hair grows back, affecting future hair growth.
Another advantage of waxing is that it enables a person to better control the location of the pubic area which is to be free of hair. It is a quick process, and one can do it himself if one wishes. However, there are plenty of people out there who will demonstrate this hair removal technique for you, if you'd like to share this personal encounter! There are many waxing products available but make sure you read the label before buying. You want a waxing product that is safe to use on this area.
Sugaring is a technique similar to waxing. But instead of using wax, which can be messy and difficult to clean, a sugar-based organic blend is used instead. Typically mixed with honey and lemon, the concept of sugar paste dates back centuries. This paste is applied to the skin, and as it hardens, it traps the pubic hair. Once the paste hardens, it is pulled away from the skin very quickly, removing it as soon as the hair is removed.
Removing pubic hair is a personal preference. It is not necessary to remove the hair in this area to keep your body clean. In fact, there are no health benefits of removing pubic hair. Shaving: Some girls say that shaving pubic hair is "high maintenance" because the hair usually grows back within a few days.
Part of the belief that your pubic hair grows much faster than the hair on your head may be due to the growth cycle. This means that the same puberty that started growing will fall in about a month to a month and a half. The hair on your head follows a very spreading process.
Waxing or sugaring usually does not irritate the skin like shaving and chemical-based depilatory often do. And these methods are much less expensive than laser treatment and electrolysis.
Pubic hair is protective: it prevents foreign bodies, bacteria, pathogenic dirt and germs from entering the sensitive pubic area. But a new study from California found that women who regularly shave their pubic hair are at higher risk of getting genital herpes, genital warts, or the dreaded papillomavirus.
