I know, I know the removal of facial hair for women is a touchy subject, but we are among friends right? So, if we are friends just like on the TV shows, it’s perfectly fine to discuss this so sensitive subject, right? Right!

OK then – Let’s take a look at the different types of recommended treatments for the removal of facial hair in women so we can decide for ourselves what would be in our own best interest. Friends look out for friends, right? (Right again.)

Recommended treatments include threading, waxing, shaving, electrolysis, tweezing, depilatory solutions and laser.

Wow – I didn’t think it would take very long, but this is quite a list of choices, don’t you think?

So where to begin? Lets start with threading:

Threading is becoming quite popular in the US today for the removal of facial hair in women, but has been practiced in other parts of the world for centuries. Many say it started in the Middle East, or perhaps India.

It is definitely an art form and is performed by trained artisans usually found in Indian neighborhoods around the country. They use a single cotton thread to wrap around your hairs and pull them out by the root. (Ouch!)

Many say it’s great for the removal of facial hair at least for women because you are usually just removing small amounts of hair from eyebrows, upper lips, cheeks and chin areas.

(Well at least that’s good to know. I’d sure hate to see too many of my hairs pulled out by the root for any reason.)

With threading there is less irritation to the skin than with many other forms of facial hair removal, but there will still be some irritation. (Some irritation they say. The hairs will be pulled out by the roots! Ouch again.)

They also say there is a pinching feeling similar to tweezing, but it goes much more rapidly then tweezing. (I don’t know about you, but that’s a pinch I could do without.)

It can also be quite expensive if you can find someone skilled enough to perform this art form of hair removal and you will need to have it repeated about every three weeks.

People have recently developed a fascination with the Eastern philosophy and threading seems to be an extension of that fascination. (I think I’ll stick with Yoga or meditation to fulfill my fascination, thanks.)

Next – Let’s examine waxing for the removal of facial hair in women:

Many women find waxing as one of the better forms of removal of facial hair available today. It can be used for removing hairs from small places like brow lines and upper lips.

With waxing, hot wax is put on the skin where the hair is to be removed and a strip of linen is applied and then pulled off quickly to pull the hairs out from the roots. (Not the roots again. Talk about painful. Now you have roots pulled out and hot wax on your skin!)

The skin can become quite red and sore from waxing and it can also cause the skin to prematurely wrinkle as the top layer of skin is often pulled off with the hair. (OK, so now we have no hair, but we risk getting more wrinkles? Great, I can’t wait.)

You know, I think I have heard enough about torture for one day …

I don’t see any reason to subject ourselves to anymore examinations of pain just for the removal of facial hair when there are perfectly good facial hair removal products for women on the market right now that are totally pain free.

These products include personal shavers, hair removal creams and hair inhibitors for the removal of facial hair in women and actually are quite inexpensive. They will also safely and easily remove all of your unwanted facial hairs without any irritation and you can use any one of them in the privacy of your own home without any torturous pain.

There is also no need to scour the cities for trained Indian artisans. Just check out the various products recommended on this site and you won’t be disappointed.

I told you I’d look out for you.
