What is it about babies that make us all blurt out words we never even knew existed, in languages we’ve never even heard? How come babies manage to make even the toughest man, start cooing and pulling faces in a desperate bid to launch a new born smile? We’ve all done it ourselves and we’ve all sat back and embarrassingly watched someone else do it too. Seeing babies tucked up in a miniature pair of denim dungarees, an all in one red Rudolph suit at Christmas or a pretty little pink dress and jacket during the summer time just seems to set our maternal and paternal instincts in to further overdrive. However adorable, cute clothing doesn’t have to contain a designer price tag. In an era where every penny counts, dressing our babies to a budget doesn’t have to mean plain, simple clothes.

Just as most young boys jump for joy when they are presented with a football shirt of their favourite team, complete with their name ironed on the back, customising clothing is a great way to make us feel individual. T-shirts, bibs and rompers for example are a great way for your baby or child to wear their own cute little slogans. Baby clothes can be customised by size, style, colour and of course the slogan you wish to add. Perhaps it’s a nickname you and the family have given your baby, a famous quote or an image of the babies favourite cartoon character. Or perhaps you’d like a photo of you and your baby printed on to your tots t-shirt or all in one romper. These are great ways to create an alternative image for your young one and let them stand out in the crowd.

Customising your baby clothes doesn’t have to mean lowering the quality of the clothing you dress them in. Respectable clothing companies will ensure your baby clothes are not just distinctive but also of the finest quality. They understand that baby clothes need to be practical but warm and comfortable also. With wide choice of designs to reflect your baby’s personality, you need to make sure the clothes have ease of movement, are easy to fasten, wash well and will withstand their everyday activities.

It’s always advisable to purchase a size a little larger than the baby currently requires allowing for growth and therefore allowing for the maximum use out of the clothing. Due to the speed at which babies do grow, many people like to hold off on spending too much on clothes for new-borns and young children however this doesn’t mean you can’t dress them in beautiful or fun outfits. In an era where everyone is making cutbacks, making sure you get good value for your money is important.

Babies come to us in all shapes and sizes and it’s always a good idea to check the size of the clothes you buy, rather than just by age. For example 0 to 12 months is often sold at a size up to 10.5 inches however of course your baby may differ from this and require a different size so always check this before you purchase to make sure it gets its maximum use.

Babies grow up so fast and it’s important to capture every moment of their development. By adding a little uniqueness into clothes gives children and babies a little extra special attention and an individual sense of style. Reducing the value of your baby clothes doesn’t have to mean reducing the quality.

Electrolysis was first employed in by Dr Charles E Michel (1833 - 1913), a St Louis, Missouri eye doctor to remove ingrown eyelashes for patients. Since then, it grew into a widespread hair removal routine amongst diverse ways of beauty enhancement.

During the electrolysis procedure, a microscopic needle will be put into the follicle and electricity is run through it. Through completely destructing the roots of the unwanted hair and keeping it from regrowth within a lengthened period of time. That time usually averages between 3 months to a year.

There are three basic types of electrolysis, namely the Galvanic, Thermolysis, and Blend methods. Although the routine is mostly the same across all 3 (i.e. by inserting a small needle into the follicle), the nature of the electric current passed across differs. Each electrolysis type is briefly described below :

(1) Galvanic Electrolysis

A DC current is passed through the inserted needle to the follicle concerned. During its travel, sodium hydroxie is generated to kill the follicle directly. This is among the earliest methods of electrolysis and is usually applied for thicker hair strands.

(2) Thermolysis Electrolysis

The electric current delivered In this case, is of a higher frequency called AC. The vibration that is genrated when the AC current is passing through heats the water molecules surrounding the follicles. That in turn destructs the hair follicle. Even though this method may be faster than Galvanic electrolysis, it is not as reliable.

(3) Blend Electrolysis

A hybrid of the Galvanic and Thermoloysis methods, the blend electrolysis runs both AC & DC currents through the needle at the same time. It results in faster and clearly more effective removal, making it a popular option for people who wants to remove facial hair.

The Advantages & Disadvantages of Electrolysis

While the time taken for successful electrolysis may vary for different people, generically the larger the treatment zone, the costlier and longer the electrolysis procedure will be. Why? Because each follicle has to be addressed individually! Here are some of its other advantages and disadvantages :

Advantages :

- Probably the only hair removal option that can really claim to get rid of hair permanently
- Have the longest record for reliability and effectiveness
- Great for small hair growth treatment zones such as the armpits, chin, upper part of the lip, stomach, around the bikini line etc.
- For most skin tones and hair types

Disadvantages :

- A well trained and skilled electrolysis is required to execute the procedure.
- Tedious. Particularly if you’re dealing with a large treatment area. An approximate 15 - 30 treatments is needed for each course.
- Incorrect administration may cause hair regrowth, scarring, infection due to an unsterilised needle.
- More expensive. Treatment costs differs though an session lasting 30 minutes can cost about $60 and addresses only a small patch.
- Can be painful. Some people it results in a stinging and pricking sensation on the skin. The bad part? Every hair follicle has to experience it.

Should You Go For Electrolysis?

Well, it really depends. With the entry of laser and IPL permanent hair reduction technologies, you have many more options. You can choose electrolysis, the only process that can really claim to be a permanent hair removal option. Or select other alternatives that can also reduce your hair outgrowth in a satisfactory duration.

Your decision will be contingent on your budget versus the result you want to achieve.
