About Permanent Hair Removal Spray
Permanent hair removal sprays have been on the market since the 1990s. They work in conjunction with waxing or other hair removal methods that remove hair from the root, by first reducing the texture of hair and then causing permanent hair removal. They are relatively inexpensive when compared to other permanent hair removal and reduction procedures. Does this Spark an idea?

Cons
-
There is no scientific research readily available to back up the claims made by the companies of permanent hair spray. As of 2010, the FDA has approved electrolysis only as a permanent hair removal method and laser hair removal as a permanent hair reduction method. User reviews on hair removal websites such as budgetlaserhairremoval.com are mixed, with some users of permanent hair removal spray claiming that it did nothing for them, and some claiming that they have patches of hair that have not grown back.
Claims
-
There are several hair removal sprays and lotions out on the market. When researching hair removal methods, be sure to carefully read the claims. Not all products claim to give the same results. Some sprays are inhibitors, which means that they inhibit hair growth so that it takes longer to grow back and the texture is finer. Other products are depilatories, which are chemical lotions to remove hair, they claim simply to be an effective way to remove hair. Permanent hair removal sprays claim to first diminish the hair, both in texture and in volume, like inhibitors do, but they go further by completely stopping the growth of the hair follicle.

Application
-
Apply the permanent hair removal spray directly after any method of hair removal that completely removes the hair follicle by the roots--waxing, electrolysis, laser hair removal or plucking. It takes several sessions of hair removal followed by application of the product, but the good news is that permanent hair products claim that you do not have to continue the use of the product after you have achieved the desired result of no hair growth. After the 10 to 15 sessions needed to achieve permanent hair loss, you can stop the application of the permanent hair product
Cost
-
Although the sprays are pricey as creams and lotions go, they are cheaper than professional waxing, laser hair removal and electrolysis. It is certainly cheaper than a lifetime of razor bump cream, razors, razors heads, shaving cream, depilatories, waxing and tipping your waxer. One session of laser hair removal, which claims permanent hair reduction, is twice the price of the sprays. Electrolysis, which also claims permanent hair loss, is both painful and time-consuming process and is even more expensive than laser hair removal. It is time consuming because it targets individual hair follicles.
Shaving
-
The sprays can also be used after shaving, although they will not achieve the same results as when used with a hair removal method that removes hair by the root. Shaving does not pull hair up by the root, but instead cuts the top of the hair off at the surface of the skin. The hair's root remains intact beneath the skin. If permanent hair removal product is used in conjunction with shaving, it claims to minimize hair growth and lengthen the time in between shavings, but not result in permanent hair loss.
