Don't store avocado like this: it's dangerous

Painless and inexpensive hair removal? It would take a miracle. Against the shaggy and irritating hair in parts that you thought was impossible to grow life, shaving becomes a mystical experience of self-harm and pure masochism. From head to toe, shaving is something that most would definitely like to avoid, if only after a week you are full back. But is there at least a cheaper solution? How hair removal at no cost and, above all, without chemicals?

From sugar to cotton threads, passing through the classic razor blade and the dreaded traditional waxing, the female universe is a variegated world that oscillates in the disconsolate conviction that those hairs - you want it or you don't want it - must be removed. The only thing is that we would like at the same time: practicality, sweetness, inexpensiveness and a result how much more permanent bases is possible. Getting to know George Clooney in person is probably easier.

What we have left, a bit like the baby who gropes in an effort to know the world through his own hands, is to let ourselves be guided by our instinct as females to board and declare war on the fur not even a mouse appeared before our eyes.

Hair removal: how to remove hair at no cost (and naturally)

We try, we experiment, we look for the method that best suits our needs and we check from time to time.

Here are some methods to remove hair at no cost:

First, let's make a distinction: in some cases we will talk about hair removal, in others of hair removal.

With epilation, therefore, hair grows back much slower than with depilation.

The razor blade

Most of us are probably quite familiar with this option, but shaving works by only cutting hair at the skin level. How bad does it hurt? Shaving - suitable for legs, arms, armpits and a little less for the groin - is practically painless, as long as you are careful not to cut yourself.

To soften the skin before shaving, use a hair conditioner or a aloe vera gel (to be applied afterwards too). And to make shaving as less irritating as possible, exfoliate the skin before shaving and pass the blade only in the direction of the hair and in the shower.

Using the razor blade is quick and easy, but since hair is only removed at the skin level, it usually grows back in 1-3 days. When buying, choose razors with interchangeable heads.

The tweezers (tweezing)

Hair removal: how to remove hair at no cost (and naturally)

Dear old woman tweezers. Each woman has one (two, three ...) and can never miss a daily brushing with her majesty the tweezers. If you see a hair out of place, go for tweezers, if the bikini isn't perfectly tidy, go for tweezers, eyebrows and tweezers perfect combination.

Il threading

From "threads" which in English means threads, and are those of cotton that are intertwined to pull the hair at the root. Also known by the name "tying" (to tie) or "khite" in Arabic, the ancient threading technique - mainly used for the eyebrows, the part above and below the lips, the cheeks and the chin - consists in using precisely a cotton thread, closed to form a ring, twisted several times on itself. By "sliding" the twisted part on the skin, the thread captures and extracts the hair.

It is not exactly simple: for this method it takes dexterity and dexterity, but it seems to have excellent results.

On the web there are several tutorials here and there, here is one:
