What function does hair serve? Scientists believe that hair has evolved for the identification of individuals, since hair carries an individual's scent by which he or she may be recognized. It has also been suggested that the individualized scent may attract possible mates.
Be that as it may, in today's beauty conscious world, nobody be it men or women-wants excessive facial or body hair. In fact, unsightly superfluous hair can become a cause of much embarrassment and loss of self-esteem and confidence. So how does one go about removing unwanted hair and which is the best option?
There are two methods of hair removal-temporary and permanent. Temporary methods of hair removal include mechanical methods (such as waxing, shaving, plucking/threading, tweezing, epilating and use of abrasives), chemical methods and bleaching. Permanent methods include electrolysis/thermolysis and laser epilation.
