How to lighten arm hair at home? How to bleach the hair on your hands at home - quick and effective means and methods, reviews Lighten the hair on your hands with hair dye.

We use hydrogen peroxide

Bleaching hair on the arms using hydrogen peroxide is widespread. To do this, we need two ampoules of ammonia and concentrated peroxide (30%), diluted one to one with water. In a shallow container, combine 50 ml of prepared hydrogen peroxide, ammonia and 0.5 tsp. baking soda.

However, it should be noted that hydrogen peroxide is a strong oxidizing agent, which means that to avoid unpleasant consequences, it is necessary to check the skin for an allergic reaction.

Drop a little of the prepared mixture onto the inner elbow. Let's watch the reaction for 10-15 minutes. If there is no redness, burning or itching, then you can continue lightening the hair on your arms using this oxidizing agent.

So, use a cotton pad soaked in the solution to coat the hair on your hands, being careful not to rub it into the skin. Leave for 50-60 minutes. Be careful and do not wait too long, because... you can get burned. A little burning sensation is acceptable, don't worry. Beauty requires sacrifice!

Some people successfully practice masks for lightening arm hair based on hydrogen peroxide. We combine 1 tablespoon and a spoon of toothpaste squeezed out of a tube (just white, without dye), and 3% hydrogen peroxide, also 1 tablespoon. Mix until smooth, thick sour cream, and apply the mixture to your hair. Let it stand for 15-20 minutes depending on the thickness and color of the hair.

Hydroperite will help

The option of lightening hair on the hands with hydroperite is still relevant. In a porcelain container, grind 10 tablets of hydroperite into powder, pour in two ampoules of ammonia, 1 tbsp. warm water and 1 tsp. any shampoo. Stirred. Apply with a cotton pad to the hair and leave for an hour.

Lightening with ointments and creams

As one of the options, you can have a special ointment made to order. Its composition should include the following components: anhydrous lanolin - 10 g, antifebrin - 0.5 g, petroleum jelly - 20 g, perhydrol - 6 g.

With long-term and constant treatment, you will achieve the expected result - the hair will become discolored, its structure will become thinner and more brittle, and the skin may be completely cleansed of hair.

Place the warm mixture on the hair of your hands. Cover the top with cellophane or polyethylene and wrap it in a towel. After 2 hours, remove the compress and rinse.

The hair gradually brightens and over time you get the expected result, maintaining the softness and beauty of the skin.

In addition, new hairs on the hands will grow much tougher and thicker than the removed ones, and lightening gives long-term results and perfectly maintains the smoothness of the skin.

There are several ways to bleach unwanted body hair.

Discoloration with hydroperite

• in order to bleach hair with hydroperite, you need to take 1 tablet, put it in a glass container and add 1 spoon of water;

Before the procedure, it is recommended to apply a small piece of the resulting mass to your wrist and wait about an hour. If it causes itching, redness and an allergic reaction, you need to rinse the area with cold water. If the skin reacts normally, you can safely proceed to the session. It is necessary to apply foam so that it completely covers areas of the body. It should be left for approximately 20 minutes.

After completing the procedure, you need to rinse off the composition with cold water and lubricate the skin on your legs or other part of the body with moisturizing cream or oil. Hydroperite allows you to make hair invisible, completely bleaching it, while it copes very well even with dark hair.

An undoubted advantage is that this is a very inexpensive method.

You can also use hydroperite to remove hair permanently. To do this, you need to prepare a mixture of 3 hydroperite tablets, 10 drops of alcohol and 10 ml of cold boiled water. Rub the desired areas with a cotton swab every 2 days until the hair is completely removed.

Discoloration with hydrogen peroxide

Hydrogen peroxide is another very popular lightening agent.

• mix 25 ml of hydrogen peroxide, 10 ml of ammonia, 25 ml of water and half a teaspoon of soda;
• it is important to use porcelain dishes so that the correct chemical reaction occurs;

This drug will also help you cope with the problem of how to lighten hair on your legs. To do this, you need to mix a 5% solution of hydrogen peroxide and ammonia. Wipe every day with a swab, leaving for 20 minutes. The hair gradually thins, lightens and becomes completely invisible.

There are folk recipes for permanent hair removal with peroxide

1. To obtain the mixture, you need to mix 50 ml of peroxide solution of 5-6% concentration and 10 drops of ammonia, and add a small amount of wheat flour to it. The prepared mixture is applied to the area of ​​the body where hair needs to be removed.

3. The mixture is made from 1 teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide, 5 drops of ammonia and 1 teaspoon of liquid soap. The resulting mixture is applied to the hair that requires removal. After 15 minutes, the skin should be cleansed with chamomile infusion. Perform the procedure once a week.

The most important point is to remember that the desired effect will be achieved only after a long course of procedures. It is difficult to predict how long it takes hydrogen peroxide to cope with the removal of excess vegetation, because the duration of waiting for the result is individual for everyone. But she is definitely up to the task.

Lightening hair with dye

To use the third method, it is enough to buy regular hair dye, a very light color. Following the instructions, you need to prepare the composition and apply it to the required areas. Then leave the paint for about half an hour, and then wash it off with warm water. The disadvantage of this method is that you can get unexpected results. For example, the hair on your legs may not become discolored, but simply turn yellow.

Discoloration with special means

The safest method of lightening is the method using special means - the latest achievements of cosmetologists. During the bleaching procedure, the following are usually used: a brightening composition and a moisturizing conditioner. The composition includes active ingredients that bleach even black and very coarse hair.

The conditioner prepares the skin for the hair lightening process, so irritation or allergic reactions are excluded. But despite the undeniable advantages of this method, its main disadvantage is the price. Due to its high cost, it is not accessible to the average consumer.

Lightening using folk recipes

For those who have naturally blonde hair, it is enough to use a regular chamomile decoction. After wetting a piece of cloth with it, apply it to the skin for a couple of hours. You can also use lemon juice, applying it several times a day. These methods are not at all harmful, but at the same time they are ineffective.
