Hair removal options for redhead?

4 replies

Any natural redheads out there that have used permanent or semi permanent hair removal methods?

My bikini line is red, my facial and arm hair is fine white blonde. My lower leg hair is a bit thicker and dark reddish after years of shaving. I don't want to spend £££ on something that "might" work on red hair.

Help!

I’m a natural redhead.

What colour are your roots? I asked my (excellent t) waxing lady who also does laser and she plucked a hair and looked at the root. Unfortunately my body hair has blonde roots, and there’s no permanent removal options for that.

I do epilate my underarms which hardly regrow at all now but that’s taken about 8 years!

Ah! Interesting! I don't know why I hadn't thought that bit through. The roots are red but lighter than the hair itself.

Only electrolysis will work, but that is usually for a few hairs only as it would take way to long to do a big area.

There is a laser called soprano ice that claims to work on red and blonde hair. But I am pretty sure it won't (used to work in the industry and understand the process behind laser)
