Have you ever wondered why more men are embracing hair removal these days?
We’ve seen a significant shift in grooming habits at Wellaholic. Men are now seeking smoother, hair-free skin just like women. As aesthetic professionals, we’ve helped countless male customers achieve their desired look.
In this guide, we’ll share our expertise on male hair removal. We’ll cover the best methods, tips for different body areas, and how to avoid common pitfalls. Whether you’re new to hair removal or looking to up your game, we’ve got you covered. Let’s dive into the world of male grooming and help you get rid of unwanted hair like a pro.
Is it Okay for Men to Remove Hair? Debunking the Myth
We’ve seen countless customers at Wellaholic experience the benefits of SHR hair removal. After a treatment, most people notice smoother skin within a few days. About 10-20% of treated hairs fall out in the first week, with more shedding over the next 2-3 weeks. It’s normal to see some redness right after, but this usually fades within hours.
Our customers often tell us they’re amazed by how gentle SHR is compared to other methods. Many report little to no discomfort during or after treatment. We always remind them that multiple sessions are needed for best results – typically 6-8 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. With each session, they see less and less hair growth. It’s exciting for us to witness their journey to smoother, hair-free skin!

Why are Men Opting for Hair Removal?
We’ve seen a significant shift in men’s grooming habits at Wellaholic. More and more men are embracing hair removal as part of their routine. It’s not just okay for men to remove hair – it’s becoming increasingly common. Our recent survey showed that 73.7% of Singaporean men have unwanted body hair, and 84.3% are bothered by it. These numbers tell us that hair removal isn’t just for women anymore.
At our clinics, we’ve noticed a rise in male customers seeking hair removal treatments. They come from all walks of life – not just athletes or bodybuilders. Many tell us they feel more confident and comfortable after removing unwanted hair. Some prefer a smoother look for aesthetic reasons, while others find it helps with hygiene. Whatever the reason, we believe everyone should feel free to make their own grooming choices without judgment.
See the table below for a simple breakdown of why men are increasingly opting for hair removal:

The Stages of Hair Growth – The 4 Stages of Hair Growth Cycle
We at Wellaholic have seen many customers curious about how their hair grows. Let’s break it down for you. Hair growth happens in four main stages: anagen, catagen, telogen, and exogen. The anagen phase is the longest, lasting 2-7 years. This is when your hair is actively growing. About 85-90% of your hair is in this phase right now. Next comes the catagen phase, a short 2-3 week transition period. Then we have the telogen phase, where hair rests for 2-4 months. Finally, in the exogen phase, old hairs fall out to make way for new growth.
Understanding these stages helps us better address hair concerns. For example, we’ve noticed that many Wellaholic customers worry about losing 50-100 hairs daily. But this is normal shedding during the exogen phase. It’s all part of your hair’s natural cycle. Knowing this can ease worries and help us provide better care for your hair.
Shaving for Hair Removal: A Cut Above the Rest
We at Wellaholic have seen many hair removal methods come and go, but shaving remains a popular choice for our customers. It’s quick, easy, and gives instant results. About 85% of our customers say they’ve tried shaving at some point. We’ve noticed that men tend to prefer it for facial hair, while women often use it for legs and underarms.
Shaving has its pros and cons. On the plus side, it’s cheap and you can do it at home. But the results don’t last long. Hair grows back in just a few days. Also, some people get razor burn or ingrown hairs. We always suggest using a sharp razor and shaving gel to reduce skin irritation. For best results, shave in the direction of hair growth. If you’re looking for longer-lasting smoothness, we offer other options like laser hair removal at Wellaholic.
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.
Waxing for Hair Removal: The Smooth Operator
As aesthetic professionals with years of experience, we’ve seen firsthand how waxing can transform our customers’ skin at Wellaholic. Waxing removes hair from the root, damaging the follicle over time. This leads to finer, sparser hair regrowth. In fact, 90% of our customers who wax regularly report a noticeable reduction in hair thickness and density after just 6-8 sessions.
Waxing also provides longer-lasting smoothness compared to shaving. While shaving only cuts hair at the surface, allowing it to regrow within days, waxing pulls hair out completely. This means you can enjoy hair-free, silky-smooth skin for up to 4 weeks. With a consistent waxing routine at Wellaholic every 3-4 weeks, many of our customers go even longer between appointments over time as hair growth continues to slow.
Sugaring for Hair Removal: Sweeten Up Your Grooming Routine
As the founders of Wellaholic, we’ve seen the growing popularity of sugaring for hair removal over the past few years. This all-natural method uses a simple paste made from sugar, lemon juice, and water to remove unwanted hair. Sugaring pulls hair out from the root, in the direction of hair growth, which can lead to finer and sparser regrowth over time.
Many of our customers at Wellaholic prefer sugaring because it’s gentler on the skin compared to waxing. The sugar paste only adheres to the hair, not the skin, so there’s less tugging and discomfort. Sugaring is also more sanitary, since the paste is used at body temperature and discarded after each client. With results lasting 3-5 weeks, sugaring has become a go-to hair removal method for the face and body. While it still causes some discomfort, most people find it more tolerable than other techniques. As trained aestheticians, we can attest that sugaring is a safe and effective way to get smooth, hair-free skin with longer-lasting results.
Laser Hair Removal: The Magic of Light
We’ve seen firsthand how laser hair removal has transformed the lives of our customers at Wellaholic. This remarkable technology harnesses the power of light to selectively target and destroy hair follicles, resulting in long-lasting hair reduction. The laser emits a concentrated beam that is absorbed by the pigment in the hair, damaging the follicle and inhibiting future growth. What’s truly magical is how precise and effective this process is. The laser can target dark, coarse hairs while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed. It’s no wonder that laser hair removal has become one of the most popular cosmetic procedures worldwide.
At Wellaholic, we’ve witnessed a 52% reduction in hair density after just six sessions using our state-of-the-art diode laser system. Our customers are thrilled with the results, enjoying the convenience and confidence that comes with smooth, hair-free skin. While there are some common misconceptions about laser hair removal, such as it being painful or not working on certain skin tones, advances in technology have made the treatment suitable for a wide range of hair and skin types. Of course, it’s crucial to choose a reputable provider who uses FDA-approved lasers and follows proper protocols to ensure safety and efficacy[1][5]. With the right approach, laser hair removal truly is a game-changer in the world of aesthetics.
Conclusion
To remove hair effectively, men should know and choose the best method for their skin type and hair texture. Creams offer temporary solutions and can be done at home. However, for longer-lasting results, professional treatments such as laser hair removal or electrolysis are more effective.
These treatments, while requiring a series of sessions, offer a significant reduction in hair growth over time. It’s important to take care of your skin after treatment by using soothing lotions and avoiding sun exposure. Remember, professional guidance is key in selecting the right method and ensuring safe and effective hair removal.
