How to Best Address Nipple Hair

A man or woman you know has probably asked the question.

And it’s not like there’s a guidebook for asking one of those questions you’d like answered but don’t want to ask.

So we’ll just ask: What are the best methods to address nipple hair?

We’re in luck. Because My Imperfect Life asked that very question in a recent article focusing on those very methods.

The first – and most important – takeaway from the piece is nipple hair is normal for everyone. And there’s no harm at all in keeping it.

But on the flipside, nipple hair doesn’t really serve a purpose. Keeping it or getting rid of it is your choice, but many people want it gone.

And, should you opt for the most lasting choice for smooth skin, laser hair removal may be your best option. By putting your hair-free needs in the hands of laser hair removal professionals, you’re ensuring the best results.

How does laser hair removal work? The laser compromises the growth cycle of the follicle, getting to the root of the issue. With multiple sessions, clients will be left with smooth, hair-free skin.

My Imperfect Life also mentions at-home laser hair removal as another choice. But it should be noted that an actual laser is not used with this option. Instead, it’s an intense pulsed light (IPL). Those who choose this method will never be completely hair-free. Repeated treatments will be necessary.

Other nipple hair removal methods include:

Waxing: Wax strips. Sugar wax. Hot wax. Regardless of the use, they’re viable options to remove nipple hair. Just keep in mind the results won’t be permanent. Oh, and it’s not exactly a pain-free experience either. Hair is literally ripped from the skin.

Using depilatory creams: A less painful option, these creams work by breaking down the protein in the hair, which causes it to dissolve and fall out.

Tweezing: Can you be precise? Yes. But this is a very tedious process. And like waxing, it may involve a fair amount of pain as individual hairs are plucked from the area.

Electrolysis: Another permanent solution. However, it’s time consuming and pretty uncomfortable. Electric currents are used to stop growing hair. But individual follicles are targeted; not groups of hairs, as is the case with laser hair removal.
