Helping Your Hirstute Teenager

I have a daughter with a bit too much facial hair. It is hereditary on my husband's side of the family.
All I really remembered from mown experiences with this is that there was electoloysis around to help treat this problem. I remember too that it was expensive, painful and the hair could easily grow back if the procedure as not done right.
Then I discovered laser epilation. It is pain free and it gives my poor embarrassed daughter some relief from the embarrassing hair growth.
Laser epilation is performed by IPL epilators. IPL is short for 'Intense Pulsed Light.' This fast method of hair removal came into existence in the 1970s. However the actual technology for laser epilators has been around since the 1950s.
The odd thing about laser epilators is that they technically cannot even be properly defined as 'real laser.' Instead they are what are known as xenon flash lamps.
This type of laser hair removal is accomplished through photo thermolysis which selectively only heats up objects that are darker, specifically darker hairs against whiter skin. This is why dark hair on dark skin or blondish hair on darker skin does not always successfully get removed.
Coarse dark hair on light skin is easiest to fix using a laser. Finer hair and hair on darker skin is more difficult to remove and may require more sessions with the laser. The face sometimes needs several different treatments as the hair is more difficult to remove .It did take two tries before it was successful on my daughter.
Most adults need between three and eight treatments before the hair will be permanently removed which can make the treatment more expensive over time. Usually the first treatment gets rid of the majority of the hairs and subsequent treatments are 'touch ups' that perfect the job. The treatments are also usually spaced two to three weeks apart to avoid damaging the skin in any way.
Lasers with a large spotlight are used to remove as much hair as possible in one are and in just one treatment. The point is to have the radiation of the laser emit enough power to do damage to the hair follicles but not to the skin.
Compared to electrolysis, which is a slow process where individual hairs are plucked out one by one with an electrical tweezer laser hair removal is said to be sixty times faster and the results are also said to be more permanent. I highly recommend this no muss or fuss way to get rid of hair.

How To Buy A Barbie For Your Little Girl

There are many different Barbies on the market so it can be a bit of a challenge to choose one for your girl. Remember when all we had to do was choose either a Barbie with black hair or blonde hair. Times really have changed as there are not all kinds of Limited Edition, seasonal and other types of Barbies on the market.

When choosing a Barbie choose one that is age-appropriate. Some Barbies have arms and hands that can come off and be a choking hazard. There are special Barbies manufactured by Mattel for younger types.

There is also now a Barbie made for every child's interest or hobby. Does your kid like sewing, caring for animals, horses, aerobics and sports. Whatever your child's passion or interest is there is a Barbie to match it.

It's also pretty easy to buy the same Barbie twice. Check out which Barbies that your kid owns already. Interesting choices are occupational Barbies or ethnic Barbies. Sometimes your little girl will just tell you what Barbie is on her 'need it' list.

You can get a Barbie at just about any price nowadays. There are tons of sites online where you can get them used and new. Pick a price range that suits you and find a doll to match it. I have seen genuine Barbies being sold for as low as three bucks on auction and discount sites on the Internet.

A big no no is to get your kid a fake Barbie. I tried that once and I never heard the end of it. The doll has to be real. Make sure the doll is packaged in its favorite pink signature Barbie box as well.
If your little girl is not too old you should avoid a Barbie that comes with lots of clothes and accessories as everything will just get lost. I can't tell you how many of those little pink shoes I found stuck in the vacuum cleaner.

If your child is older you can teach her to sew by making clothes for Barbies. There are some sewing patterns on the market that allow you to make an outfit for Barbie and one for you or your daughter that matches perfectly.

Not all Barbies are ten inches high. Some of them are actually the size of a toddler. These are called My Size Barbie and they can trade clothes with a four your old. The value of this is to teach the toddler how to get dressed.
