You may have heard that baking soda may be used to remove unwanted hair at a low cost and minimal effort. Baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate, is a versatile substance that can be used in a wide variety of contexts, and the reason why it is most sought after is because of its natural label, as people are constantly seeking for homemade hair removal recipes nowadays. However, can this ingredient that is known for its cleaning ability be the ideal way to remove unwanted hair? Find out the answer along with a few tips below!
1
What is the Theory Behind Baking Soda Hair Removal?
Mixing baking soda with water to produce a paste, then applying it to the region where hair is to be removed, is the most frequent way of using baking soda for hair removal. Lemon juice, vinegar, or honey are just a few of the additional components that some individuals choose to add to the paste. The theory is that the hair follicles will dissolve in the baking soda, resulting in the hair's expulsion.
But unfortunately, that's not how hair removal functions. Since hair follicles are situated so deeply under the skin, they are unaffected by baking soda or any other topical therapy. Permanent hair removal requires the follicles to be destroyed, either via laser or electrolysis.

How People Usually Remove Hair with Baking Soda?
Reason why baking soda hair removal method is so convenient is because soda is a common home item that we can easily find at home. In most of the hair removal tutorials that uses baking soda, this is how they usually guide you to do it:
1. In a small bowl, mix together one tablespoon of baking soda and 200 ml of hot water. Stir well until all of the baking soda has dissolved. 2. Let the liquid cool down a bit, and then pour it into a spray bottle. 3. Spray the mixture on your legs, arms, underarms, face, or other places where you want to get rid of hair. Make sure that the treatment covers all of the hair. 4. Leave it on overnight, and in the morning, wash it off with warm water. 5. Do this every night for two to three weeks, or until you start to lose hair.
Scientifically speaking, baking soda works by weakening hair cells over time by breaking them down. It also gets rid of dead skin cells, making your face smoother and softer. However, removing hair with baking soda will tell you that baking soda can dry out some skin types, so it is always recommended to moisturise your skin after you use it. Also, check for allergic reactions by putting a small amount on a small area of your skin before putting it on bigger areas.

Is There Any Danger in Using Baking Soda to Get Rid of Hair?
Unfortunately, the soda fairy tale does not go with the ending we want. Not only is removing hair with baking soda useless, but it could also be detrimental to your skin. Some people use baking soda, a common household item, to get rid of unsightly body hair. However, there are potential risks associated with this practice, especially when you are using it to remove facial hair, upper lip hair or pubic hair. Some of the risks of using baking soda to get rid of hair are as follows:
• Redness, itching, burning, and inflammation are just some of the symptoms of skin irritation caused by baking soda. Particularly vulnerable sites include the genitalia, the upper lip, and the face. If your skin's protective barrier is compromised, you'll be more vulnerable to infections and allergic reactions. • Hair and scalp that have been exposed to baking soda might become dry, brittle and fragile, eventually leading to hair breakage. The pH of baking soda, at 9, is significantly higher than the pH of your scalp, which is around 5.5. • Using a product with such a high pH might cause your hair to lose its natural oil, dry out, and upset the delicate balance of the microbiome on your scalp. Damage, split ends, frizz, dandruff, and itchy scalp are all potential outcomes. • Baking soda has the potential to dull and fade hair colour. Baking soda can gradually lighten your hair colour by acting as a bleaching agent. This might diminish the hair's natural shine and leave it more vulnerable to harm from the sun and pollution. • The hair-removal effects of baking soda are not always reliable. Both hair and hair growth are unaffected by baking soda. It merely adheres to the hair, making it simpler to remove. However, it's not always a clean, quick, or painless procedure. It can also result in unsightly and potentially infected stubble or ingrown hairs. It's also possible that baking soda won't be effective for all hair types or users. In some cases, the use of baking soda may even result in increased hair growth.
Because of this, baking soda should not be used to get rid of unwanted hair. There has been no credible scientific research to support the widespread belief that baking soda may effectively remove hair. In fact, using baking soda on your hair and skin can cause more problems than it solves. Waxes, razors, threads, plucks, lasers, and electrolysis are all better and safer alternatives. If you want to get rid of hair safely and effectively, you should go for a more lasting and permanent method to stop unwanted hair growth.

Other Hair Removal Methods That Are Better than Baking Soda for Getting Rid of Unwanted Hair
There are a variety of safe and effective methods for permanently removing unwanted hair in the year 2023. You have a few options depending on your hair type, styling budget, and personal taste:
• Shaving is the quickest and least expensive way to get rid of unwanted hair, but it can leave behind irritation from the blade and ingrown hairs if not done properly. • Waxing technique entails applying hot or cold wax to the skin, waiting for it to harden, and then pulling the wax and hair off at the same time. Pain, inflammation, and infection are possible side effects of this condition, which can last up to six weeks and slow hair development. • In place of wax, a natural paste of sugar, water, and lemon juice is used in sugaring, which is otherwise quite similar to waxing. It is less harsh on the skin and less likely to result in ingrown hairs or allergic responses. • Threading is a technique where the hair is twisted and pulled out at the root using a fine thread. Most people take it to get rid of unwanted facial hair, and the effects can persist for up to four weeks. It's effective and clean, but it's not always pleasant or quick. • Epilation is a technique where hair is removed from the root using a device with numerous tweezers. Although it helps slow hair growth over time, it can be unpleasant, produce redness, and even result in ingrown hairs, and it can last for up to six weeks. • Laser hair removal can be used to permanently remove hair by directing a beam of light towards the hair follicle's pigment. Complete results may require multiple treatments, but they may last a lifetime. It's time-consuming and costly, but the results are worth it. • Electrolysis is also one of the methods to get rid of unwanted hair easily. To permanently remove hair with electrolysis, a needle is used to administer an electric current to the hair follicle, killing it in the process. Complete results may require multiple treatments, but they may last a lifetime. It's not cheap and you need an expert's watchful eye, but it works for any hair or skin type.

Why IPL Hair Removal Treatment is the Best Hair Removal Method of All
In addition to the treatments mentioned above, there is another star treatment that is always sought after by ladies that would want to have a quick and permanent fix for their unwanted hair growth.
IPL, which stands for "Intense Pulsed Light Treatment," is used to get rid of unwanted hair, stop hair from growing back, and treat pigment or vascular blemishes. IPL may be able to get rid of dark hair by using a wide range of light. Dark hair soaks up light, heats up, and gets damaged all the way down to the roots, just like wearing black on a sunny day might make you feel too hot.
Also, IPL treatments have one big advantage over other ways to get rid of hair, like waxing or plucking: they last forever. If you fix a live hair follicle, it will die and won't grow back. IPL treatment can remove hair permanently, but it works better on darker hair and may not work as well on lighter hair. After your IPL treatment is done, you will have less body hair that you don't want. Thanks to IPL Hair Removal Treatment, New Beauty is happy to give you the best care possible. This treatment helps get rid of hair permanently in places like the upper lip, waistline, and underarms, and it works for most skin types.
Although the benefits of New Beauty's IPL laser hair removal treatment are immeasurable, its secrets remain shrouded. It's the most effective method of permanent hair reduction that money can buy. A few quick explanations follow:
You get to remove unwanted hair permanently.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Hair Removal Treatment is more expensive up front than waxing or shaving, but the results last far longer. However, the cost of maintenance over time is substantially reduced. You can save money on waxing by not going every few months. That's a no-brainer in comparison to tweezing and plucking, but that's like comparing apples and oranges.
Hair removal that barely hurts.
It doesn't hurt to shave. The IPL Hair Removal Treatment, on the other hand, causes much less discomfort than waxing does. You can't feel anything anymore when your hair thins and falls off. It's a great technique for painlessly getting rid of unsightly facial hair. A permanent solution to hair removal? What could be more lovely than that?
Safe and free from skin irritation.
IPL Hair Removal Treatment is still debated as to whether or not it permanently eliminates unwanted hair. Customer reviews and surveys suggest that after a certain number of IPL Laser treatments, the results are long-lasting, however keep in mind that this number differs from person to person. Permanent changes to your hair follicles are the result of the IPL Hair Removal Treatment, which will make your hair thinner and finer. This method of hair removal is safe for both light and dark skin because it does not cause irritation.
Reduce the contrast of your skin tone.
We all hate how our underarms seem like they need another shave towards the end of the day and how there is a black shadow after we shave them. Even if these hairs are not long, the combination of dark stubble and shadows is enough to make most people uneasy. The IPL Hair Removal Treatment slows the growth of hair follicles, resulting in finer, less noticeable hair. Your shadow and stubble will no longer be dark.

FAQ
How does baking soda work to get rid of hair?
Baking soda is a chemical compound that changes into carbon dioxide and sodium hydroxide when it is mixed with water. If you put it on your hair, it can make the hair shaft weaker and make it easier to break. Some people say that baking soda can also dissolve the hair follicle and stop hair growth, but there is no scientific evidence to back this.
What are the generic ways to get rid of hair with baking soda?
There are different ways to make a paste or solution with baking soda to get rid of hair, but the basic idea is to mix baking soda with water or another liquid until you get a thick mixture. You can also add lemon juice, honey, or ginger to make it even better for you. Then, put the mixture where you want to get rid of hair and let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse it off with warm water and use a towel or a loofah to gently scrub the area. Do this every day or every other day until you start to see changes.
Is baking soda good for all hair types?
Baking soda might work better on hair that is fine or thin than on hair that is tough or thick. This is because fine hair is more likely to break, and the baking soda paste or solution makes it easy to get rid of. On the other hand, coarse hair may need more force and time to break off, which can hurt and inflame the skin.
Is baking soda safe for sensitive skin?
When used often or in large amounts, baking soda can be rough on sensitive skin. It can dry out the skin, make it red, itch, burn, or cause allergic responses. Before using baking soda on your face or body, you should do a patch test if you have sensitive skin. Put a small amount of the mixture on a part of your skin that is out of sight and wait 24 hours. If baking soda makes you feel bad or hurts you in any way, don't use it to get rid of hair.
What causes excessive hair growth?
The quantity of body hair is directly inherited. If parents have thick and dense body hair, it is probable that their offspring will also be hairy. In addition, hormonal imbalance, endocrine abnormalities, and polycystic ovary syndrome can all contribute to excessive body hair.
