Beauty treatments exist so that people can look and feel their best. There are so many things we can control when it comes to grooming; our hair color, lashes, and eyebrows can all be tamed. With eyebrows being the gateway to hair removal for most of us, hair growth is a constant battle, but what are the most effective hair removal methods? Let’s look at each method in detail so that you can decide which is best for you.
Hair Straightening
So, you have curly hair that you been straightening, whether through heat or chemicals. Or, maybe you’re the straight haired Mom (or Mum) or any other caretaker of a little curly, and all of that boinginess has made you wonder what to do. While chemically relaxed hair may require its own special needs, those of you who heat straighten will probably notice a difference in curl pattern while using the method below. Those who are chemically relaxed go through a longer transition process, unless you just decide to do the big chop and start with a fresh head of hair. Those of you who are transitioning will find lots of support from curlynikki’s blog. Those of you who are already curly, but looking for help will find a little bit here, with links to give you more help.

One of the most effective hair removal methods is laser hair removal because it is permanent.
