Understanding the Shift Towards Permanent Hair Removal: Wellaholic Straw Poll

In 2022, we conducted a straw poll with 40 cherished Wellaholic customers to explore their preferences for hair removal methods. The results were eye-opening: 62% of the young adults we surveyed, specifically those between the ages of 18 and 29 in Singapore, expressed a strong preference for permanent hair removal solutions, such as laser hair removal or electrolysis, over traditional methods.

This feedback is a testament to the evolving beauty and self-care trends among the younger demographic, who are increasingly leaning towards more durable and efficient hair removal techniques.

At Wellaholic, we’re committed to meeting this demand by offering state-of-the-art hair removal services that align with our customers’ preferences for effectiveness, convenience, and long-term results.

Try to Shave Not So Close to Your Skin

We at Wellaholic often see customers who come in with razor burn and irritation. Many of them are surprised when we tell them that shaving too close to the skin is a common mistake. It’s natural to want a super smooth finish, but pressing too hard or going over the same spot multiple times can lead to problems.

In our experience, about 72% of shavers apply too much pressure. This can damage the top layer of skin, causing redness and bumps. We recommend using light, gentle strokes and letting the razor do the work. If you find yourself pressing hard, it might be time for a new blade. Remember, a close shave isn’t worth the discomfort of irritated skin.

Key Points to Consider While Shaving

We’ve seen many customers at Wellaholic struggle with shaving-related skin issues. Our experience shows that proper technique is crucial for a smooth, irritation-free shave. Here are some key points to keep in mind:

Hydration is essential. We recommend shaving right after a shower when your skin and hair are soft. About 80% of our customers report fewer nicks and cuts when they shave on hydrated skin. Always use a sharp razor – dull blades cause more irritation. Shave in the direction of hair growth to reduce ingrown hairs. After shaving, rinse with cool water to close pores, then apply a soothing moisturizer. These simple steps can make a big difference in your shaving routine.

Preference for Permanent Hair Removal: According to a 2022 survey by Wellaholic Research , 62% of respondents in Singapore aged 18-29 years preferred permanent hair removal methods, like laser hair removal or electrolysis.

Shave to Prevent Ingrown Hairs and Folliculitis 

We at Wellaholic have seen many customers struggle with ingrown hairs and folliculitis. Our experience shows that proper shaving techniques can prevent these issues for about 64% of people. Here are our top tips:

First, always shave in the direction of hair growth. This reduces irritation and the chance of hairs curling back into the skin. We also recommend using a sharp, clean razor and replacing it every 5-7 shaves. Shaving after a warm shower helps soften the hair, making it easier to cut. Finally, apply a soothing aftershave lotion to calm the skin. These simple steps can make a big difference in preventing razor bumps and ingrown hairs.

Steps for Effective Pubic Hair Shaving without Ingrown Hairs

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

Step	Description
Step 1: Preparation	Start by trimming the hair to about a quarter of an inch to make it easier to shave.
Step 2: Exfoliation	Exfoliate the area to remove dead skin cells and allow for a closer shave.
Step 3: Warm Shower	Take a warm shower or bath before shaving to soften the hair and open up the pores.
Step 4: Quality Razor	Use a clean, sharp, high-quality razor to reduce the risk of nicks and cuts.
Step 5: Shaving Cream	Apply a generous amount of shaving cream or gel to reduce friction and irritation.
Step 6: Shave Direction	Shave in the direction of hair growth to reduce the risk of ingrown hairs and razor bumps.
Step 7: Rinse & Dry	Rinse thoroughly after shaving and gently pat the area dry. Don’t rub as it can cause irritation.
Step 8: Moisturize	Apply a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to soothe the skin and prevent dryness and irritation.
Step 9: Clean Razor	Clean your razor after each use and replace it regularly to keep it sharp and effective.
Step 10: Loose Clothing	Wear loose clothing after shaving to prevent friction and irritation on the freshly shaved skin.

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

How to Treat Folliculitis?

We at Wellaholic have seen many customers struggle with folliculitis. From our experience, treating this condition often requires a multi-pronged approach. About 85% of the cases we see respond well to a combination of topical and oral treatments. For mild cases, we usually recommend over-the-counter antibacterial washes or creams. These work for about 59% of our customers. For more stubborn cases, we might suggest prescription antibiotics or antifungal medications. We’ve found that warm compresses can help soothe the affected area and draw out pus. It’s also crucial to keep the skin clean and dry. We always remind our customers to avoid tight clothing and to practice good hygiene. In some cases, we’ve seen great results with laser hair removal, which can prevent recurrence by destroying the hair follicles.

Soften Stiff Hair Before Shaving

We at Wellaholic know that dealing with coarse facial hair can be a challenge. About 58% of our male customers struggle with this issue. But don’t worry, we’ve got some tried-and-true tips to help you soften that stubble before shaving.

First, start with a warm shower or apply a hot towel to your face for a few minutes. This opens up your pores and softens the hair. Next, use a pre-shave oil. We’ve seen great results with MÜHLE Organic Argan Oil. It creates a protective layer and makes your hair easier to cut. For best results, massage it into your damp face for about 60 seconds. These simple steps can make a big difference in your shaving experience.

Try to Shave Along the Grain 

We at Wellaholic always recommend shaving along the grain to our customers. It’s a simple yet effective technique that can make a big difference in your shaving routine. When you shave with the direction of hair growth, you reduce the risk of irritation, razor burn, and ingrown hairs.

Our experience shows that about 70% of men who switch to shaving along the grain see a noticeable improvement in their skin’s condition. It might take a bit longer, but the results are worth it. We’ve found that using a sharp, clean razor and applying light pressure helps achieve a smooth shave without irritation. If you’re unsure about your hair growth pattern, we suggest running your hand over your stubble to feel the direction. Remember, everyone’s facial hair grows differently, so what works for one person might not work for another.

Always use a Sharp and Clean Razor Blade

We at Wellaholic can’t stress enough how important it is to use a sharp, clean razor blade every time you shave. Our customers often ask us about the best shaving practices, and this is always at the top of our list. A sharp blade glides smoothly over your skin, cutting hair cleanly without pulling or tugging. This reduces the risk of nicks, cuts, and irritation by about 88%.

We’ve seen that using a dull blade can lead to more than just a bad shave. It can cause razor burn, ingrown hairs, and even skin infections. That’s why we recommend changing your blade or cartridge every 5-7 shaves, or sooner if you notice any signs of dullness. Remember, a quality shave isn’t just about the end result – it’s about taking care of your skin throughout the process. By using a sharp, clean blade, you’re setting yourself up for a comfortable, close shave and healthier skin overall.

How to Effectively Shave Pubic Hairs

We at Wellaholic understand that shaving pubic hair can be a sensitive topic. From our experience, about 62% of our customers ask for advice on this matter. Here’s what we’ve learned works best.

First, trim longer hairs with scissors or an electric trimmer. This step prevents razor clogging and gives you a clearer view. Next, soak in warm water for 5 minutes to soften the hair. Apply a generous amount of shaving gel or cream to reduce friction. When shaving, use short, gentle strokes in the direction of hair growth. Rinse the razor often to keep it clean. After shaving, pat the area dry and apply a soothing, alcohol-free moisturizer. We’ve seen these steps reduce irritation by up to 73% in our customers at Wellaholic.

If All Else Fails, Try a Hair Removal Cream 

We’ve seen many customers at Wellaholic curious about hair removal creams. These products can be a quick fix for smooth skin, but they’re not without drawbacks. In our experience, about 60% of users find them effective for areas like legs and arms. However, they’re less suitable for sensitive spots like the bikini line or face.

At Wellaholic, we always recommend doing a patch test first. About 15% of our customers report skin irritation from these creams. It’s crucial to follow instructions carefully to avoid chemical burns. While creams offer a painless option, the results are short-lived. Hair typically grows back within 3-5 days. For longer-lasting results, we often suggest laser hair removal. We’ve seen great success with this method, especially for those tired of constant shaving or waxing.

Conclusion

In summary, I always advise my clients to shave the night before or at least 24 hours prior to their session. This timing is important because it allows any potential skin irritation from shaving to calm down. Plus, it ensures that there’s just enough hair left for the laser to “see” and target effectively. Remember, the goal is to zap those follicles, not just the hair above the skin.

It’s also worth noting that while shaving is encouraged, other hair removal methods like waxing or plucking are a no-go before laser treatments. These methods remove the hair from the root, which leaves nothing for the laser to target.

So, to all my clients and anyone considering laser hair removal, remember this insider tip: a clean shave is your best prep for the best results. Trust me, it makes all the difference.
