Before starting the hunt for hair, here is a glossary of hair removal technique to finally overcome these unwanted.

Waxing legs with wax

Enemy of some, and unavoidable for others, the technique of waxing is still the most effective way to be quiet for some time.

Advantages: the hair is torn at the root so it repels slower. We can count 4 to 5 weeks of "rest." The other positive point is that the hair regrow finer, and are therefore more discreet.

Disadvantages: for the comforters, it can quickly turn into torture. The pain is there, certainly, but hey, we know the saying ... The choice of the institute is not necessarily the most economical. In addition, waxing takes time, so no question of doing this in the morning before going to the office. Finally, the big problem for wax enthusiasts is that you have to wait for regrowth, the ideal being to reach a length of 5 mm.

Where to practice the technique of waxing?

In institute: it is enough to lie down and the professionals take care of the rest. At least, we are sure to go all the way (because at home alone, it is less certain that we do not give up on the 3rd band). For those in a hurry, some institutes offer subscriptions at very attractive rates and depilations without an appointment.

For others, those who make hair removal a ritual, some hammams offer a real moment of relaxation with the program, exfoliation and waxing sugar .

At home: cold, hot wax, sugar, the choice is vast. The brands have put the package and many new techniques are to discover. Some brands offer ranges "first hair removal" with cold wax but also products such as hot oriental wax, for a traditional "home" hair removal , or even face waxes for an eyebrow or mustache hair removal , convenient, fast and effective.

For "tradi", it is possible to make your own sugar wax : take two or three handfuls of sugar in pieces, half a glass of water and heat the whole. When the caramel turns brown, add a few drops of lemon and dip this preparation in cold water. Then form a medium sized ball and apply on very small parts of the legs from the ankles to finish at the knees. Take off the ball with a brutal gesture and start the operation again very quickly.

Depilatory creams to wax your legs

Depilatory or bleaching creams , this is another way to remove or hide the hair.

Benefits: no pain, and time saved (only 3 minutes are needed). Soft skin at a glance

Disadvantages: the hairs repel very quickly. On the other hand, if these depilatory creams once had a nauseating odor, they now smell very good.

Shine your legs with a razor: good or bad idea?

The public enemy number 1 beauty institutes. Sin par excellence. But we must admit that sometimes we have no choice.

Advantages: fast and efficient and it's not bad. 3 minutes in the shower and it's folded! In addition, the brands pamper us and make razors specially designed for us women , which prevents us from stealing the mac3 from our man and it stings us a crisis.

Disadvantages: we find ourselves quickly with beard legs. Besides the fact that the hairs repel quickly, they can be more thick. Consequence: we shave almost every day and force, it is difficult to find the sweetness of the beginnings.

The electric epilator option

Advantages: Thanks to the electric epilator, you can epile away from home and take it on vacation. It is simple and fast to use and economical. The regrowth takes place approximately every 15 days.

Disadvantages: it is quite painful and the hair can "break". This machine can also be responsible for the formation of ingrown hairs.
