Method 1: Shaving Underarm Hairs

We’ve seen many customers at Wellaholic struggle with razor bumps and skin infections from improper shaving techniques. Our experience shows that changing blades regularly and keeping your razor dry are two simple yet effective ways to prevent these issues.

Changing your razor blade after 5-7 shaves helps maintain a sharp edge, reducing the chances of nicks and irritation by about 30%. We always remind our customers to store their razors in a dry place after use. This simple habit can cut down bacterial growth by up to 80%, significantly lowering the risk of skin infections. These small changes can make a big difference in your shaving routine, leading to smoother, healthier skin.

Method 2: Plucking Underarm Hairs

At Wellaholic, we know that plucking underarm hair is a common method many people try at home. While it might seem like a quick fix, we often see customers who come to us with skin issues from improper plucking. The main problem? Plucking can lead to ingrown hairs and skin irritation. Plus, it only removes hair at the surface, which means you’ll need to repeat the process every few days.

We’ve seen that repeated plucking can make the underarm area darker and more sensitive over time. Through our work with thousands of customers at Wellaholic, we’ve noticed that those who switch from plucking to professional hair removal treatments see better results. Their skin becomes smoother, and the hair grows back thinner and less noticeable. That’s why we always suggest looking into longer-lasting options like our SHR treatments instead of relying on plucking.

Method 3: Waxing Underarm Hairs

We’ve seen many customers at Wellaholic achieve great results by waxing their underarms. Waxing removes hair from the root, leaving the skin smooth for several weeks. It’s a popular choice because the results last much longer than shaving.

When waxing the underarms, it’s important to follow the right technique. First, make sure the hair is at least a quarter inch long so the wax can grip it properly. Apply the wax in the direction of hair growth, then remove it quickly in the opposite direction, keeping the skin taut. It’s normal to feel some discomfort, but this usually lessens with regular waxing as the hair becomes finer over time. After waxing, avoid applying deodorant or wearing tight clothing for 24 hours to prevent irritation. With the proper pre- and post-wax care, waxing can be an effective way to keep your underarms smooth and hair-free for weeks at a time.

Method 4: Threading Underarm Hairs

Threading is a popular hair removal method that originated in the Middle East and South Asia. It involves using a thin, twisted cotton thread to remove hair from the root. We have seen a growing interest in underarm threading among customers at Wellaholic.

The process is simple yet effective. The aesthetician holds one end of the thread in their mouth and the other in their hand, creating a loop. They then twist and roll the thread over the underarm area, trapping and removing the hairs. Threading can remove even the finest and shortest hairs, making it an excellent choice for those with sensitive skin or those who want to avoid the use of chemicals or heat. The results can last up to three weeks, and with regular treatments, hair regrowth becomes finer and sparser over time. While threading may cause some discomfort, especially for first-timers, it is generally less painful than other methods like waxing.

Method 5: Depilatory Cream for Underarm Hairs

We’ve found that many of our customers at Wellaholic are curious about using depilatory creams to remove their underarm hair. These creams work by breaking down the protein structure of the hair, causing it to dissolve and separate from the skin. While depilatory creams offer a quick and painless option, there are some important things to keep in mind.

First, it’s crucial to choose a cream specifically formulated for the sensitive underarm area. The skin here is thinner and more delicate than other parts of the body. We always recommend doing a patch test 24 hours before applying the cream to check for any adverse reactions. When using the cream, be sure to follow the instructions carefully and don’t leave it on longer than directed, as this can lead to chemical burns. After removing the cream, rinse the area thoroughly with cool water and apply a fragrance-free moisturizer to soothe the skin.

It’s worth noting that while depilatory creams can be effective, they don’t provide long-lasting results. Hair typically grows back within a few days. Additionally, some people find the strong smell of these creams off-putting. However, if you’re looking for a pain-free, easy-to-use option for underarm hair removal, depilatory creams can be a good choice when used correctly.

Method 6: Electrolysis for Armpit Hairs

At Wellaholic, we see many customers who struggle with thick, persistent armpit hair. We recommend electrolysis as the most effective solution because it’s the only FDA-approved method for permanent hair removal. Unlike laser treatments that only reduce hair growth, electrolysis completely stops new hair from growing by targeting each follicle with a precise electrical current.

We notice that customers who choose electrolysis for their underarms enjoy several benefits beyond permanent hair removal. The treatment helps reduce excessive sweating since it affects some sweat glands in the hair follicles. Many of our customers also report that their underarm skin becomes lighter and smoother after completing their electrolysis sessions, as there’s no more irritation from razor burns or ingrown hairs. While the process takes multiple sessions over several months, we believe the long-term freedom from daily shaving or waxing makes it worthwhile.

Method 7: Laser Hair Removal for Underarm Hair

At Wellaholic, we see many customers who struggle with daily underarm shaving and its problems. Laser hair removal offers a better way to deal with unwanted underarm hair. The process uses light energy to target hair follicles, stopping them from growing new hair. This means no more razor burns, cuts, or daily hassles of shaving.

We notice that our customers love how laser treatments make their underarms look better overall. The skin becomes smoother and lighter since there’s no more dark shadow from hair under the skin. Plus, with less hair, there’s less sweat buildup and body odor. Many of our customers tell us they feel more confident wearing sleeveless tops after their treatments. While you’ll need several sessions for the best results, the smooth, hair-free underarms make it worth the investment.
