Waxing still remains one of the most widely used techniques. And when it comes to waxing facial hair, there are some very important things you should know. Here are the answers to some of the most common questions about waxing facial hair:
What is facial hair?
Facial hair occurs in women in areas such as the chin, above the upper lip, the sides of the face.
There are two categories of facial hair: the one similar to baby fluff, barely noticeable and the terminal hair, mature. Age, body health and other factors can cause the fluff to develop into mature, darker, thicker, more pronounced hairs. If you experience abnormal hair growth in these facial areas or if the hair becomes thick, you may suffer from a hormonal imbalance. Often, menopausal women experience a more pronounced increase in facial hair.
Hirsutism is a condition that is manifested by excessive growth of hair in women (male hair), facial and body, caused by increased synthesis of male hormones (androgens) in the body.
This condition is embarrassing for the person in question and creates discomfort, loss of self-confidence, shaping the idea of low femininity. The causes of this hormonal disorder can be a weight imbalance (excessive weight gain or massive weight loss) or certain stressors that cause excessive production of male hormones.
But, thanks to the hair removal techniques available today, facial hair should no longer be a problem for women.
