Im really interested in getting laser hair removal but i have red hair and fairly tan skin. i have heard there is a new technology, ELOS technology, that works for any hair color and any skin color. Has anyone tried this with red or blonde hair and had good results?


Answer
Nope... doesn't work on blonde or red sorry

Okay... science answer:

You grow in at least 80% of your hair during puberty. When you have laser hair removal the hairs it kills will never grow again. But you still have up to 20% of your normal thickness that will grow in throughout the rest of your life. So people get touch up sessions every 3-5 years after their big 6 treatments. You need about 6 treatments, one each 2 months for a year, because the hair grows in different stages and it can only kill hair in the active growth stage. The laser works by targeting dark color (the hair follicle) and passing through light color (the skin) the hair and skin have to be very different shades of color for the hair to work. The darker and coarser the hair and lighter the skin, the better results you will have.

Okay... Personal Experience:

I've had 2 out of my 6 treatments so far. It HURTS! It's like being poked with a sewing needle over and over, but it's not as painful as a tattoo, and that's not as painful as childbirth, maybe that can put the pain in perspective for you =) I've had my legs, underarms, and bikini area done. When you get your bikini area done they do ALL of it! Including spreading your butt and vaginal lips apart to laser all the cracks... It's sorta awkward. After the 2 treatments I've had so far I've lost about 60% of leg hair, 40% bikini hair, and 25% underarms hair. It's because the underarms hair is the thinnest and the leg hair is the coarsest. But the legs are the most painful. The more it hurts the better it works.
I spent this much for 6 treatments in each area:
Bikini-$750
Underarms-$750
Legs (toes to bikini)-$2,500

Email me if you have any more questions about it!

I am going to dye my hair tomorrow and I was wondering if anybody knows about hair dye?

I have some red hair dye and a 40 volume hair developer. The only problem is the hair dye says I should use a 30 volume hair developer... if I use the 40 what will happen? will that make my red darker or lighter?


Answer
40 volume will make it lighter(for red it'll be very very intensifying don't do it! and will damage your hair).
Volume are for Level of lift, it range From 10-40.
Depending on how light your hair is right now? did you already have it previously color done? and have some regrowth? if none of those then good.

If your natural hair color is from:
black you may use 30 vol. but risk of having hot roots(means roots will be lighter than the mid-lengh to ends.
dark to med brown use 20 vol.
med brown to light brown 10 vol.(because the hair is light enough to deposit the red in)
any lighter than that I wouldn't recommend it because it'll be very bright and fade tremendously.

P.S. Red is very hard to get rid of and can only dye it back to very dark to cover it. Otherwise it will always stay under tone. Good Luck!
