Hair removal is a cosmetic procedure that is based on the removal of hair, located in certain areas of the human body. In general, it is carried out with local X-ray emission, this causes the root to deteriorate and promotes hair loss. Women are the ones who tend to wax the most, however over the years, men have also adopted the habit of shaving certain areas of their body either for aesthetics or hygiene.
It is normal for hairs to appear on the human body: on the face, in the armpits, arms, legs, in the genital area. However, their distribution depends on the person and the geographic region. For example, the inhabitants of the Nordic countries, Asians and Afro-descendants, tend to have almost no hair on the body, however, those who live in the countries of Mediterranean Europe tend to have much more hair.
Women usually shave their legs and armpits. Although there are women who, due to a small increase in male hormones in their body, tend to have hair in areas such as the chin, the bozo (mustache), belly. These hairs are depilated, since aesthetically they are badly seen.
Men, for their part, tend to shave their thorax, back and legs, there are even those who shave their brows. Before, it was common for men to wax, if they performed a sport that ordered it; such as swimming, athletics, skating, etc. However, most men today wax for cosmetic reasons.
In the same way, there are areas such as the internal area of the nose and ears where hairs usually appear and that both for men and women are unpleasant, so they also tend to wax.
