The experts claim thai waxing can gradually curb hair growth M-TH 9-5:30 FRI. 9-8 1214 N. GREEN ST. McHENRY SAT. 9.5 by Catalina, Oceans II or Seaborne If you're fed up with shav­ ing your legs several times a week and deplore the stub­ bly regrowth, lend an ear to what many salon profession­ als say about waxing. Two hundred salons which do professional wax­ ing were questioned, and over 86 percent of the re- spondants reported that, among their clients, hair growth was dramatically decreased, sometimes retarded completely, as a result of consistent waxing. Wrote one salon owner: " Many of my clients have been waxing their legs for a few years, and their hair is now so sparse and fine that waxing is required only every six months." Others reported that on many of their clients, hair either completely disap­ peared or diminished to neg­ ligible "peach fuzz" when waxing was done regularly over an extended period of Sx, otic i SUN- INSPIRED PLEATED CAFTANS SIZES TO 52 tone. As another salon owner put it, "The more often wax­ ing is done, the less it needs to be done. Eventually hair becomes so thin and weak, it's not necessary to do as often. In some areas hair does not seem to grow back at all." One thing to remember, if you decide to chuck your razor and switch to waxing, is that to achieve any signifi­ cant reduction of hair growth you've got to stick with wax­ ing once you begin. If you revert to shaving between waxings, you'll be right back to square one, so say the experts. Another thing the salons noticed was that on younger clients (mid-teens to mid- twenties) the reduction in hair growth was much more pronounced than on older women who had just started waxing.

Several different types are available, includ­ ing pre-waxed strips, cold wax formulas, and warm wax formulas, which are generally considered the most effective and are used in most salons. In the warm wax cate­ gory, probably the safest and most effective home kits are those which come with then- own thermostatically-con­ trolled electric heating unit. Other warm wax kits require heating the wax on a stove, then waiting until it cools to the point ofskin tol­ erance (ideally, between 90- 1KPF.). These require careful judgment on your part; if you guess wrong and apply the wax while it is still too hot, you can burn your skin. One home kit which includes a thermostatically- controlled heating unit, called the One Touch Roll- on waxing system, goes one step further: it has done away with the drippy spatula method of applying wax. Instead, the salon-formula wax is neatly contained in three roll-on applicators, each sized to fit areas of face, body and legs. The applicators slip into com­ partments in the heating unit. When the wax is ready to apply, you just lift out the applicator you want and roll the wax on your skin in a thin, even stroke. Depending upon your individual hair growth rate, the results of waxing can last anywhere from two to six weeks in the beginning. And according to salon special­ ists, the long-term cumula­ tive effects of consistent waxing can substantially inhibit hair growth, some­ times so effectively that eventually hair doesn't grow back at all. Get your camera ready now for summer months ahead If you only use your cam­ era during the holiday sea­ son and the summer, you're in good company. But, the dust that colects during just a few months of non-use is srtfkient to make your pho­ tos look as muddy as the windows after months of snow or rain. Simple camera mainte­ nance can be accomplished at home with a minimal amount of effort or cost. All that you need to ready your camera for picture taking is a canister of propelled air, such as Dust-Off II; a Lens Pen liquid cleaner, and lint free leas tissue.

Then, blow off any dirt or dust that may have accu­ mulated on the surface of the lens. Next, dab a small amount of liquid lens cleaner on the fens using the lens pen.
