Top 5 Toughest Hair Removal Problems
There are many options to remove unwanted hair. These unnecessary hairs are common in places like the chin, cheeks, upper lip, hands, legs, back, toes, fingers, and feet. Excess growth of these hairs can be because of genetic reasons or taking certain medications like polycystic ovarian syndrome and steroids. Whether you leave it to grow or remove the hair, it is up to your preference.
But as they are expensive, women generally go for other cheap options such as waxing, shaving, threading, etc. As not everyone goes to a parlor to get the hair removed, there are some hair problems that you may face during or after the hair removal process.
Facial and underarm waxing can sometimes result in mild irritation that turns the skin red for a short time after. You may notice how the skin is pink or red after waxing and also a little more sensitive to touch. The redness will most probably disappear by the next day. The irritation and redness caused by facial waxing are temporary and don't do much harm. However, if you get a rash it can last up to several days.
Simple solutions to this problem include
Applying a cool compress to the affected area
Avoid using alcohol-based toners after waxing your face as they may burn the skin.
Stop using the daily products on the skin if the rash spreads.
Frequently keep waxing the area as the more frequently you wax the fewer chances are of having an infection.
Skin Irritation due to Hair Removal Creams
Skin Irritation and sensitivity are common side effects of using hair removal creams. You may have noticed that while applying the hair removal cream, the skin tends to sting and tingle a little bit. These sensations stop after rinsing the cream off but in the case of individuals that have thin skin, the sensations may stay even after hours of applying the hair removal cream. Also, it is quite common to experience dryness, itching, sensitivity, and even the feeling of slight sunburn after removing the hairs using the cream.
Simple Solutions:
To avoid any kind of irritation, make sure to use good-quality hair removal cream.
Make sure the hair removal cream suits your hair and skin type and also the area from which the hair is to be removed.
Use the mildest formula available to get rid of hair to avoid any kind of irritation.
Razor Burns, Cuts and Nicks Caused by Razors
The most possible reason for getting cuts or nicks from shaving is not being careful while using the razor. Cuts caused due to razors are because of the individual rushing the process of shaving. So make sure you make enough time and take the process slow and steady to avoid any cuts. Another problem you may face is razor burns. Razor burns are caused when people push the razor blades too hard onto the skin to cut even the deeper hairs. But the truth is that razors are designed to get rid of the hair on the surface of the skin and if you press too hard, it will cause your skin to hurt, look red, burn, or in some cases even worse.
Solutions:
Use shaving creams and wet your face before using a razor on it.
Do not press hard with the blade onto the skin.
Always shave in the direction of hair growth.
Replace the blades frequently.
Sparse Hair due to Tweezing
Over-tweezing the eyebrows can cause the brows to be sparse, thin, and look unattractive. These results may last up to three to eight weeks. These results depend on the individual's hair growth rate. The meaning of this is that if you do a mistake while Tweezing the brows, you will have to put up with it for several weeks.
A simple solution that you can rely on is using other cosmetic products until the eyebrow hairs grow back. Using a brow pencil or powder that matches the color of your hair to draw on your brows to make them look fuller may help and make them look more natural. (Tip: use a light pat of the brow pencil and powder to make it look natural)
Lingering Smell of Hair Removal Products
Most companies are now using new methods to ensure that the hair removal products' smells are sweet, but still, most of these products have a not-so-pleasing smell to them. This odor that is caused by the chemical components of the hair removing products mostly stays even after rinsing the product off the skin. You can apply creams, moisturizers, lotions or body sprays to hide this smell but there would still be a strange smell added to the skin even after hours of washing off the hair removal products.
The only possible solution to this problem is finding out and using the sweet-scented hair removal products or using loads of soap to wash off the surface where you applied the product and afterward using good scented body moisturizer on the dried skin to cover up the smell.
Conclusion

It will be cheaper in the long run as it will eliminate the cost of razors or waxing products which will cost more than the average underarm laser hair removal cost or the average face laser hair removal cost.
