I too have had to struggle with unwanted hair, facial hair, and hair on the legs and arms, that also came my way during that same time, only to make the struggle worse. Thankfully, we always have lots of other girls around us suffering with the same disorder, that makes the pain a bit more bearable, but all the same, no one likes this hair and most women will do what ever they can to try to get rid of it. Only a handful will put down their weapons and accept life with ‘moss’ under their arms.

How do those beautiful models manage to rid themselves of unwanted hair, I will never know, but I’m not one who gives up easily, so I’ve kept up the search and have come up with some very nice solutions to the problem.

I must admit that I was blessed in case of armpit hair. No, I’m not a creature from outer space with no armpit hair( but then who knows, maybe outer space creatures have armpit hair too, or some other irritating alien growth to keep them struggling with, using thier advanced technologies trying to solve it) I happened to have a mother who guided me in the right direction at a very early age. She told me, way before my unwanted 12th birthday gift ever showed any signs of appearance, to start pulling them out, showing no mercy even to the finest hair in that area.

She even guided me to use soft rosin, yes ‘rosin’, or raisin, (whatever its called), to carry out the procedure. You can see a picture of it below.

In India and Pakistan you can get this quite easily at a herbal store. All you have to do is ask for ‘ganda baroza’ for hair removal, and they will hand you just the right one, for the very purpose. This Rosin is a lot softer than the one used for violins.

All you need to do is take some of this rosin and press it between your two fingers, the thumb and the index finger, and start pulling.(You do need to let the hair grow long enough to pull out with your fingers) After all the hair are pulled out you have to apply a mixture of alum and rose water to the area, or if yo do not have any rosewater, you can even mix the alum in plain water, which is just as effective. Over a period of a few years (yes they do not finish after just the first three or four applications) these armpit hairs will stop growing altogether!

But I must warn any of you overly enthusiastic girls out there, it may not work the same way for everyone, it may take a year for one, and up to ten years for another, depending on hormone behaviour.  But one thing’s for sure, your armpits will not turn dark, nor will you need to use deodorant, (which only helps in making the armpits darker) if you use a little alum and water/rosewater mixture under your arms instead of deodorant, it will keeps away any bad odors, even for two to three days, believe me, I do it all the time, and it works wonders!

Here is a pic of what your armpit will look like between hair removals, by this procedure.

You can see that the hair growth is still very little even after two weeks. I have almost no more hair growth under my armpits, and enjoy wearing sleeveless shirts all the time!

Now about facial, leg and body hair……Well that is a different story altogether! 

I must admit, even my mother was at a loss as to what to do about that. So my struggle has continued over the years. One of the things that I came across many years ago, suggested a removing the hair, either by waxing or threading and then applying a mixture of vinegar, black salt and onion juice in equal quantities. This mixture smells real bad, and after applying it to my face many times and not seeing any change in hair growth, was discarded. Though I must admit that the hair on my legs stopped growing altogether. I’m not sure if it just happened because of regular waxing, or did the mixture actually work. I’ll never know, but I stopped using it, probably because of the terrible odor! and the hair on my legs has never grown back!

Next I heard someone tell that a mixture of alum and rosewater applied after waxing or threading will finish any growth over a period of time. This too didn’t work for me!

I used this mixture for years without any results. Then came another suggestion, by a distant relative. This one had worked very well on her. She has no hair left on her face or body altogether. So I decided to try it. I cannot claim complete hair removal, but I must admit that after using this mixture a few time, there is definite reduction in the growth of my facial hair. So what is this miracle cure?

Here it is, a mixture of alum, coal, and ………..Saussurea Lappa. Yes that’s the right name. In India and Pakistan, you can easily buy this at any herbal store, by the name of “Qust-Shirin”. Let me show you what it looks like: PRETTY MODELS

I took a lot of trouble searching the Internet, to find what ‘Qust-shirin’ would be called in English, and this is the name I came up with ’saussurea lappa’ I guess this is the best description I can give of this bark, it looks exactly like the stuff shown in the pics, and it has a strong odour.

All you need to do is boil a bark, about 2 inches long or two 1 inch pieces, you don’t have to be precise, of this ’saussurea lappa’ in half a cup of water, when it boils down to half, pour out the water and add some powdered coal, use a small piece of coal, about 1 inch in diameter, just crush it with something, to a fine powder and add 1 heaped teaspoon of powdered alum to it. Keep this mixture in a cool place and apply to area of skin after waxing or threading.

I also read a very interesting method of making wax for hair removal. It is supposed to remove the hair, by it self, without applying any other mixture after the hair removal.  I’ve never used it myself, but since it consists of ingredients that have been very helpful in finishing my armpit hair, I feel it might actually work!

Here is what you do. Heat 50gm of rosin in a pan until it turns to liquid and crystal like. then add 1 teaspoon alum powder and a pinch of Camphor. You are supposed to heat this mixture in a wax heater whenever you need to use it.

Another method of preparing wax is to heat 10gms of Raisin and add a teaspoonful of powdered alum and 4 drops of olive oil.

Hope all these methods work for any of you out there who, like me, is not willing to put down his weapons against unwanted hair!

Some European cultures are famous for the public opinion that body odours, from the genital portions of the bodies of either sex, is a definite plus point when calculating sexual attractiveness, Southern French beaches are spots that are notorious for the bathers being prepared to show off their shaven pubic parts. Brazilian girls, preferring the skimpiest of bikini outfits, famously introduced the world to the shaven vaginal hair known as a Brazilian, a thin corridor of pubic hair, that does not show under the swimsuit

 United States men being quite hairy, around the mouth area, are perceived as manly males, but girls dare not ever be seen to sport facial hair, no matter how fine it might be, but there is very definitely a revolution taking place, in regards to pubic hair, right around the world.  The main reason for this is the sense of fun that many want brought into sex, pleasure being the principle driver of such new fashions.

 Testicle waxing, a practice that is not really new, is apparently gaining ib popularity among the new upwardly mobile heterosexual male community, instead of, as you might expect, those into sado-masochism. Homosexual community members claim this  to be far from, unusual, for fans of smooth full-body contact, though many men find the idea of pubic grooming a little strange, to say the least.

 Some though, are apparently of the opinion that such attention to these areas reflects care, leading to  heightened sensations, as well as eliminating the risk of hair-pulling during foreplay, and providing greater accessibility to partners, for a richer sexual experience. There is much less controversy about pubic shaving for women, though some see the men, who like their girls to be bare below, as perhaps simply wanting to actually live fantasies of sex with young girls.

 Regardless of the fact the male preference might swing that way, many girls state categorically that a shaven pubic area allows better access to, and by default greater stimulation of the clitoris, allowing partners oral-sex experiences that are much more satisfying for those involved, Hair removal methods vary greatly, from the cheap and cheerful to very costly for those concerned. Razors sometimes cause irritation, due to abrasive stubble, or ingrown hairs.

 There is no doubt that depilatory creams contain strong chemicals and irritants, but these and the razors are still favourites, because they are most affordable, convenient, and private, above all. The most effective method, by far, is waxing, which, though very painful whilst undergoing it, will lead to at least a month of extremely smooth skin.  Another sure-fire method, of course, is epilating, or hair-plucking, A treatment by a professional at waxing is not cheap, however, so be warned.

 If money is not an issue, then plastic surgeons will happily subject you to laser hair removal, though the up to $300 cost of a 15 minute session might make you think again, because this method is not permanent, as some believe, though hair can take up to ten years to re-grow. Surprisingly, however, this treatment method forms almost ten per cent of the annual revenue for cosmetic surgeons

 Most painful of all treatments is electrolysis,  and also the only permanent hair removal method available, as well as being the m time-consuming and expensive. It can quite easily run $100 an hour for this treatment, in which a fine needle is inserted into hair follicles, one at a time, small electrical currents sealing off blood vessels that feed hair growth, on a normal head. The repeated sensation, static-electric shock, in sensitive areas, is unpleasant but the results last forever, so no more need to fret.

 There are, of course, many men and women who want nothing to do with what they see as needless grooming, preferring to leave things as nature intended, though others see pubic hair as unnecessary remnants of our ancient past. Whichever camp you belong to, the right to choose is undeniably your own, so long as your choice reflects your own tastes. The modern fashion, among younger people, for pubic nakedness, no doubt has merits, in some respects, but I cannot help feeling that, like everything else, it  will fade away again in time, to be replaced with something equally ludicrous.

There is a lot of hype now a days about new men hair remover. Let us just put things into perspective: a guy’s hairy body can no longer be thought of as manly. If that pretty girl way back in 1979 told you that hairy chest was sexy, that is not going to happen today. Pretty ladies definitely do not want to see more hair. Well, except for the kind that grows on top of your head. That is why the concept behind men hair remover is very popular now a days. What is even better about it, men have the option on how to go about with hair removal. You do not have to resort to shaving with a Mach 3 and gel if you do not want too. You can try Nair for man, as this is virtually effortless. One male friend of mine who is a body builder claims that he shaved his whole body in just ten minutes. I think that this is super fast, but this is what he claims happened. Definitely, shaving is a very fast option when to comes to hair removal. However, I think that the most famous men hair remover is still waxing at this time. I think the reason why waxing works for men is because the effect is more long lasting. What waxing does is that it is yanking away hair follicles so you don’t need to see or worry about them for several weeks, This, I think, is sweet. I would personally choose men hair remover that require less effort.

You can use your personal computer to learn more with regards men hair remover. Go online to see the procedures and products which are recommended for you. Once you choose the hair removal technique that is right for you, then there is no reason why you still go back to those hairy days. Keep in mind, more importantly, that the days of the 60s and 70s are long over and done with!
