3 Ways to Banish Underarm Hair

While underarm hair does serve a purpose in helping manage the friction between our skin, some still consider it unsightly. Ready to be rid of it? Here are three tips for silky underarms.

1. Waxing

One way to get rid of armpit hair is by waxing. Waxing can be done at a salon or in the comfort of your own home. Waxing kits are readily available at almost any drugstore.

Waxing is one preferred method to underarm hair removal because it pulls the hair out by the root. This method is one of the more painful ways, but the pain lasts a moment, and the results longer than shaving because it takes several weeks for the hair to return.

Be sure your armpit hair is at least 1/4 of an inch long so it can be appropriately waxed.

2. Hair Removal Cream

Hair removal cream is easy enough to use; it produces mixed results among people. These creams contain chemicals that break down the structure of hair and cause it to fall away from the follicle. However, the results last about a week and the prices are relatively economical.

Before trying a hair removal cream, try it on a small, clean area of your underarm to make sure you have no irritation.

3. Laser Hair Removal

If you're ready to eliminate underarm hair once and for all, try laser hair removal.

Laser hair removal uses light to remove hair from different parts of the body: legs, arms, face, bikini area, and yes, underarms. The light harms the follicle, and the results are less hair in that area.

Choosing laser hair removal is a personal choice, and you'll need anywhere from 4-6 treatments to get the results you want.

Keeping Pits Healthy

After you've waxed, shaved, and removed hair, maintaining the health of your skin in your underarms.

Once the hair is gone, inspect it to make sure you haven't missed any spots. Wash off any residue like wax or cream before applying any product.

Next, pat dry your underarms and let them dry. Apply oil to moisturise or an ingrown hair cream to protect from any irritation. Once that's absorbed, you can put on deodorant and be on your way!
