Katori Wax Vs Threading facial Hair

Katori Wax Vs Threading facial Hair   The “Katori Wax “ which is still offered in regular and ‘Chinese’ Salons ( the high end salons are not offering these anymore as they find it outdated ) is an easier option for removing hair on the upper lips, side burns and chin and sometimes cheek areas. As the name suggests it is wax which comes in a metal bowl which is directly heated over the flame and once it cools to a bearable heat , the wax is applied on the facial hair. The hot wax is applied over the hair and tapped till its cooled and you can feel the wax turning tight. The cooled wax is slowly pulled off in the reverse direction and the hair stuck along with the wax is removed. But since it does involve a bit of hot wax and reverse pull of the hair most of the ladies prefer threading as an easier and pain free option.     If you examine the pros and cons of waxing and threading, both of them are equally good to remove facial hair. 1. Katori wax helps in removing the hair from the follicle level whereas threading is superficial. 2. With waxing the hair growth is reduced (depending on the rate of the hair growth ).But when it comes to threading the chance of hair growth can be anywhere between 15 to 20 days - which means another visit to the parlour. 3. Large areas of the facial hair should not be waxed as it can cause rashes and lead to infections. Threading can be done anywhere but when it comes to the sideburns it is not quite practical to thread it, as it can hurt your skin and it would not be possible to remove most of the excess hair. Quick tip:But all this is based on the skin sensitivity which varies from person to person. So you could find a healthy option of combining both the methods. You could use the Katori wax on the side burns and thread your upper lips and chin or wax the sideburns and chin and thread your upper lips. Either ways the choice of waxing vis a vis threading facial hair is a pocket friendly and pain-free option to remove facial hair.We will post details as to how you can DIY removal of facial hair at home the next time...

Part your hair and let it naturally fall on your face. Avoid pulling your hair backwards as it will further emphasize the problem area. The other way to hide a receding hairline in women is avoiding taut ponytails or buns (although they help in lifting your face). Go for lose and messy traditional ponytails, which will ensure a healthy scalp and hairline. Use bangs to hide balding or thinning hairline. Blunt and straight bangs i.e. haircuts  just above your face are a great way to cover your  forehead. You can also try side swept bangs as they can hide your hairline. Try a shorter hair cut that will reduce the contract between the rest of your hair and your hairline that is receding. Try using hairband to cover the foreline , but this can be worn depending on the dress you wear The last option would be to go for wigs that can be washed, flat ironed, curled, etc.

After washing your face apply the pack under the eyes. Take soft cotton patches or balls and dip them in ice cold water and remove excess water. Note they should be wet but not dripping. Put this wet cotton over the pack and rest for 15 minutes. Remove the pack  gently with the wet cotton and pat dry. How is this beneficial? Cucumber naturally reduces under-eye puffiness. Apples are an excellent source of alpha-hydroxy acid, which works as a natural skin lightener. The vitamin E oil helps in keeping the skin soft and prevents wrinkles. The cold cotton patch helps to reduce the under-eye circles caused by exhaustion or stress and effective absorption of the pack. Tip to prevent puffiness: Try sleeping with your head elevated to discourage fluid pooling under your eyes which causes puffiness.
