Pubic Hair Removal Method #1: Trimming with Scissors

I can tell you that using scissors is indeed a safe and straightforward method to maintain a groomed look. The beauty of this approach lies in the fact that the scissors never touch the skin, which significantly reduces the risk of any injury. However, it’s crucial to ensure that your scissors are not only clean but also disinfected.

Sharp blades are a must-have to prevent the unpleasant sensation of hair tugging during the cut. Remember, hair growth is a continuous process, so regular trimming is necessary to keep up that well-groomed look. While scissors offer a quick and safe grooming solution, they may not provide the complete smooth effect that some might desire. But for many, the ease and safety of this method make it a go-to choice for their grooming routine.

Pros: Easy to use and can be done at home

Cons: Only temporary. It is impossible to have a full smooth effect with scissors

Using scissors can be a safe and easy way to achieve a groomed look. Because the scissors do not make contact with the skin, the risk of injury is relatively low

Pubic Hair Removal Method #2: Shaving

Shaving is indeed a popular choice for pubic hair removal. It’s generally painless and quick. However, it’s important to remember that the shaver will be in direct contact with the skin. This means it’s crucial to use new, ideally disposable, blades to avoid any potential infections.

Shaving removes the hair right at the base, which can sometimes lead to irritation, redness, and even infections from the micro cuts made by the razor blade. To prevent this, I always recommend using a shaving cream or lotion. This provides more lubrication to the area being shaved, making the process smoother and more comfortable.

Pros: Easy to use, and can lead to a smooth skin

Cons: Only temporary. There is a higher chance of irritation and infection.

Shaving is one of the most common methods of pubic hair removal, but it requires a bit of know-how to do it safely. Here’s how to shave your pubic area:

  • Disinfect your razor: Before you begin shaving, make sure your razor is clean and disinfected. This will help prevent infection if you accidentally nick your skin.
  • Wet your pubic hair: Wet hair is easier to cut, so make sure to wet your pubic hair before you begin shaving.
  • Use a natural cream, moisturizer, or gel: These products will lubricate the skin and reduce the chance of irritation.
  • Shave in the direction of hair growth: Shaving against the grain can cause irritation and ingrown hairs.
  • Rinse the razor often: Rinse your razor after every few strokes to prevent buildup of hair and cream.

Here are our recommended steps to take for effective public hair shaving without getting ingrown hairs:

Steps for Effective Pubic Hair Shaving without Ingrown Hairs
1. Trim hair to a manageable length using scissors or clippers.
2. Take a warm shower or bath to soften the hair and open up pores.
3. Apply a shaving cream or gel to the area.
4. Use a sharp, clean razor to shave in the direction of hair growth.
5. Rinse the razor frequently to avoid clogging.
6. Use a clean, damp washcloth to wipe away excess shaving cream or gel.
7. Apply a soothing lotion or cream to the area to reduce irritation.
8. Avoid tight clothing or sweating for a few hours after shaving.
9. Repeat the process as necessary to maintain a groomed appearance.

Note: It’s important to use caution and take your time when shaving the pubic area to avoid cuts, irritation, or infection.

Dry shaving increases the risk of cuts and irritation. It also keeps you from taking advantage of one of shaving's benefits: exfoliation.

At any point in time, your hairs may be at a different stage in the growth cycle, which makes targeting and removing them all an impossible task. By having multiple sessions spaced apart, this allows the laser beams treat the hair at the anagen stage.

Pubic Hair Removal Method #3: Hair Removal Creams

Hair removal creams, or depilatory creams, are a common choice for many. These creams contain chemicals that break down hair proteins, effectively weakening the base of the hair. This allows you to simply wipe away the unwanted hair along with the cream.

However, it’s important to note that some people may be allergic to these chemicals. That’s why I always advise testing the cream on a small patch of skin on your arm or leg before applying it more extensively. If any reaction develops, it’s best not to use the product.

While hair removal creams are generally easy and painless to use, they may not be the safest option. There’s a chance of irritation, skin allergies, and pigmentation around the area where the cream is applied. Despite these risks, many people still prefer them for their convenience and painless application.

Pros: Can lead to smooth skin. Relatively cheap. Painless.

Cons: Not safe for sensitive areas such as the private areas. Chemicals in these products can irritate the skin. Can lead to ingrown hairs.

Depilatory creams are products that dissolve hair on the surface of the skin. They are a painless alternative to shaving and waxing. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Do a patch test first: Depilatory creams can cause allergic reactions, so test a small area of skin before applying the cream to a larger area.
  • Follow the instructions carefully: Overexposure to the cream can cause skin irritation or burns.
  • Avoid using depilatory creams on broken or irritated skin.

Pubic Hair Removal Method #4: Waxing

Hot (but not too hot!) wax is applied to the desired area and removed in the opposite direction of the hair growth, pulling hairs out from the root. Waxing pulls hairs from the follicles, removing multiple hairs at once. This typically causes pain, and it can also cause irritation and infection in the sensitive skin of the pubic region.

While waxing is more painful than trimming or shaving, the results last longer. Waxing is best for legs, underarms, and bikini areas, and great for those with coarse, darker hair that tends to be stubborn. One biggest issue with waxing is that it can lead to ingrown hairs, which can be very ugly and causes painful acne.

Pros: Can lead to smooth skin. Relatively inexpensive.

Cons: Requires some hair regrowth in order to be effective. Can be painful. Can result in ingrown hairs.

Here’s what you need to know about waxing:

  • Choose a salon or spa that uses clean and hygienic equipment.
  • Avoid waxing if you have sensitive skin or a skin condition like eczema or psoriasis.
  • Make sure the hair is long enough: Hair should be at least a quarter of an inch long to allow the wax to grip it properly.
  • Apply a soothing cream or lotion after waxing: This will help reduce redness and inflammation.
Wax beads have involved the rescue as a pain-free alternative to shaving or peeling.

Pubic Hair Removal Method #5: Laser Hair Removal

You must have heard of laser hair removal (or IPL, SHR, OLED or similar hair removal technologies). These hair removal methods are an easier and quicker way to get smoother skin. While laser hair removal is effective for both men and women, multiple sessions spaced apart (usually between 4 to 8 weeks between each session) are required to completely remove hair. One session is definitely not enough to destroy your hairs permanently.

During laser hair removal, a laser beam (with a single or multiple wavelengths, depending on the technology) is projected onto the target body area or zone for a specific period of time (usually in milliseconds). The pigment (melanin) of the hair absorbs this light, and it is therefore converted into heat, which causes a controlled damage to the hair follicles.

Pros: Can permanently remove hair.

Cons: Relatively more expensive. Can have a slightly stinging sensation. Permanent results require multiple sessions.

Laser hair removal is a long-term method of hair removal that involves using a laser to damage hair follicles, which slows down hair growth. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Choose a reputable clinic: Laser hair removal should only be done by a licensed professional.
  • Avoid sun exposure before and after treatment: Sun exposure can increase the risk of burns and skin discoloration.
  • Multiple treatments are needed: Laser hair removal requires several sessions for complete hair reduction.

SHR Permanent Hair Removal by Wellaholic

SHR Hair Removal‘s Advanced Fluorescence Technology (AFT) In-Motion laser hair removal technology is a breakthrough in customer comfort and effectiveness of treatments. SHR or Super Hair Removal technology heats the skin gently through the melanin and the stem cells with low energy but high frequency. SHR uses only 50% of the energy for permanent hair removal. The remaining 50% is absorbed into the stem cells responsible for hair production.

SHR or Super Hair Removal technology is a newer technology as compared to IPL. Developed by Alma Lasers, SHR combines 755nm, 808nm and 1064nm laser wavelengths to target all skin types. In addition, simultaneous contact cooling prevents burns and allows for a more comfortable treatment. This is ideal for skin and hair of all types and causes minimal irritation to the skin. Wellaholic’s SHR Prestige plan allows you hair reduction treatments on all body parts.

The table below summarises the advantages of SHR hair removal over IPL hair removal:

Please note that the number of sessions needed for SHR depends on various factors such as the area treated, the hair density, the hair growth cycle, and the individual response.

Aftercare Tips for Pubic Hair Removal

We at Wellaholic know that proper aftercare is crucial for the best results after pubic hair removal. Our customers often ask us about the dos and don’ts following their treatments. Here are some key tips we always share:

Keep it cool and clean. For the first 24-48 hours, avoid hot showers, saunas, or any activity that causes excessive sweating. Gently cleanse the area with lukewarm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap. We’ve seen that about 80% of our customers who follow this advice report less irritation. Apply a soothing gel or lotion. We recommend using aloe vera or a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated and reduce redness. Many of our customers find this step provides immediate relief. Avoid tight clothing for a few days to let your skin breathe and prevent friction. Loose, cotton underwear is your best bet.
