The end of hair armpits rollon

London: Two new deodrants which claim to slow down the speed of hair growth are to be launched near year.

The Sure and Dove Hair Minimising roll-ons and sprays, both manufactured by Unilever, are expected to appeal to young women and promise results within a month of use.

Their underarm hair should be less noticeable, finer and easier to remove. However, hair growth will quickly return to normal if they stop using the deodorant.

Sian Jenkins of Dove said: “Consumer testing has shown that women notice a difference to their underarms after just a few weeks – shaving time off their normal regime.”

Unilever scientists have spent three years developing the new formula and is based on a ‘pro-epil’ complex-which is said to slow the rate of hair growth.

The deodorants should be used only in the underarm area, he added.

The new deodrants appeal to the modern day dislike of hairy armpits on women. Women sporting the natural look are a non-conformist.
Julia Roberts discovered just how much society frowns on armpit fuzz when she displayed her hairy underarms at the London premiere of her film Notting Hill in 1999.
The actress, who is thought to have cultivated the look to please her boyfriend of the time, said later: “You’d think it was a chinchilla I had under there the way the world responded.”

Married women have hairier legs

London: Hairy legs are a top priority for British women – except if they are married, according to a new survey.

Four out of five of those surveyed admitted that having hairy legs made them feel uncomfortable, unfeminine and unsexy; while 43% revealed that their relationship status affected how much care and attention they showed their pins. And for all those singletons out there, a quarter of you wouldn’t consider bringing anyone home if you didn’t have gorgeously smooth skin.

But it seems hair removal isn’t a priority once you’re married, with 21% of you admitting that you’re not concerned with having smooth pins after you’ve tied the knot.

Hair removal experts Nair surveyed almost 1,300 people across the UK in a bid to find out about the nation’s attitude to hair removal[1].

The survey also revealed that almost half of 16-24 year olds would like some star treatment with a beauty therapist on speed dial. Unfortunately, for the vast majority of us we can’t afford this extravagance.

So Nair has come to the rescue with the Nair Leg Technicians Consultation, a free online service giving you all the information you need to get your legs in tip-top shape. This simple-to-use free online questionnaire supplies you with professional advice tailored to meet your needs, recommending the ideal product for you. And if your query can’t be answered on the site, you can email an expert Leg Technician and they’ll get back to you within seven working days. This free service is available at www.naircare.co.uk It’s a great way to handle any hairy nightmares!

Expert beauty therapist and Nair’s Chief Leg Technician Heidi Edwards says:
“To get sexy, smooth legs this summer get yourself into a routine of moisturising and exfoliating. A spot of exercise helps too! And to remove leg hair, use a wax or a cream-based product that is designed to care for your skin. Nair has a great range of hair removal products, featuring both waxes and creams, to comfortably remove the hair, while moisturising and protecting.”

Whatever your needs, Nair has a hair removal product to suit you and your lifestyle. This summer, Nair has launched four great new products:

Soothing Wax Kit (rrp £5.99 for 32 strips) for waxing without the “ouch:

Shower Power (rrp £5.69, Boots only) great for morning-time speedy hair removal
