Chin Hair
Although many women are particular about removing hair from their upper lip, not all are particular with regard to hair on their chin. Disha's hair on her chin gradually started thickening and by the time she was 33 she had a mini-beard on her chin. She would get it threaded at random intervals, but she wasn't really very particular and would pay a visit to the parlour only when a friend would mention that the hair on her chin was very visible. Then, when her 7-year-old daughter's friend said Disha aunty, how is it that you have a beard? she was completely stunned. She decided to start going for laser therapy, made an appointment, and now, one year later, her chin is completely free of hair. Not all of us have really thick hair on our chin, but even fine hair, if it is slightly long, is clearly visible. Remember that chin hair, unlike hair on our arms, legs or even eyebrows, hangs down from below the chin and every time you have a conversation with someone, that person can see the hair on your chin. It is better to pluck chin hair, since you then only remove the long or thick hair. If you thread hair on your chin, even very minute and fine hair gets removed, with the result that it grows back longer and thicker. If you have a lot of hair on your chin, consider opting for laser treatment.Stomach hair
If you have hair on your tummy or hair around the navel, either cover it up or remove the hair before exposing your tummy. Stomach hair just looks bad if you expose it. If you are wearing a lehenga or a sari, make sure you remove all hair from your stomach. Some people have very fine, almost invisible hair around the stomach, but they have more hair around their navel. If this is the case, then only remove hair from around the navel. Since most of us don't expose our stomachs very regularly, hair removal cream is a good option for removing stomach hair. Waxing is an even better option, but if you have extremely sensitive skin on your stomach and you may get a rash after waxing. If waxing works, great, but if it doesn't, simply use hair removal cream once in a while, whenever you need to.Underarm hair
Either ensure that your underarms are completely free of hair, or don't lift your arms or wear very short sleeves. Shaving underarms causes hair to grow back thick and dark, and underarms may start appearing black. Waxing is a better option. Make sure you wax regularly. After a few years of regular underarm waxing, hair grows back really slowly, and it is far easier to keep underarms free of hair. Get your daughter started with waxing her underarms at around the age of 12 or 13, and discourage her from shaving them. There may be some times she needs to shave, if she is wearing sleeveless for example, but if she sticks to waxing her hair regularly and not shaving at all, by the time she is 20-25, she will be relatively free of all underarm hair troubles. Remember that underarm hair responds best to waxing.

Comments: Hi there, I am taking a laser treatment and this beauty clinic has given me 3 sittings in one month, as she says my hair grows back quickly. I don't think she's trying to make any money coz I have gone for a package. I live in England but getting my treatment here in India and she has assured me that all my hair would be removed in the span of three months. Do you think it’s write for her to give me sittings 3 times a monthNULL I just read one of the queries from your list and you suggested someone that laser sittings should have a gap of one month. Is that true in my case as wellNULL I do have thick hair! Also, if my laser doesn’t show any effects on my skin this time, would I be able to use katori wax when I go back to England and get rest of the sittings when I get back at the end of the yearNULL I hope I wouldn’t lose the effect of laser after using wax on my skin. I hope to hear soon. Thanks Kind Regards Ritu
