Depilatory Creams - a brazilian reasons #0002

Apr 24

What is it?

A depilatory is a chemical composition used to remove hair by breaking down its protein bonds.

It comes in several forms like gel, powder and even roll-on sprays; however, the most popular are in the lotion & creams category. It takes up to 15 minutes to work once applied depending on the thickness and density of the hair being treated. Once complete, the product can be wiped off with a cloth.

Pros: Fast, Easy, Inexpensive per single use

Cons: Odor, Uses chemicals, Very short-lived results, Density of hair is not decreased over time

The Pain Factor: Slight discomfort from a tingling effect can be expected. If a burning sensation is experienced, then the cream has either been left on too long or user could be allergic.

Longevity: Lasts 1-3 days

Summary: Depilatories require frequent use to maintain desired results. The chemicals do not destroy the follicle unit and therefore the amount of hair is not reduced over time. Since the hair is only being removed at the surface of the skin, the hair will grow back in 1-3 days.

Results are equivalent to shaving and clipping.
