How to Get Rid of Body Hair

Body Hair Removal
There are four approaches to removing body hair:
- Shaving it off with a razor.
- Trimming it off with clippers.
- Pulling it with wax or a sugar solution.
- Plucking it with tweezers or an epilator.
- Burning it off with depilatory creams.
Shaving Body Hair
Shaving is best reserved for small, hard to irritate areas like armpits. It tends to grow back quickly and cause a little too much itching for large areas like your back or chest. When you shave, it’s best to do it immediately after a hot shower, when your skin is hydrated and your hair is soft.
Waxing Body Hair
This method uses absorbent cloth strips soaked in hot wax applied to the areas to be stripped of hair. Before the wax cools completely, it is spread over the area to be treated. Once the wax has dried, the attendant tears the cloth off in one swift motion, along with the hair that was beneath it. The method is painful at first, but most people say the pain diminishes with each session, besides, waxing lasts much longer than shaving.
Trimming Body Hair
Arms, legs, hands, feet, and your crotch can all be trimmed using a good beard trimmer (a set of clippers with an adjustable guard). Trimming will also save you the itchiness and ingrown hairs that can often result from shaving.
Tweezing Body Hair
Face it, tweezers are good for plucking eyebrows, nose, and ear hair. But a battery-operated nose and ear hair trimmer is faster and less painful. Tweezers do however come in very handy for fine-tuning the edges of facial or pubic hair styles.
Depilatories for Body Hair
Depilatories are chemical creams that dissolve your hair. You basically smear the stuff on and wait until it burns its way through you body hair; then you remove it with water and a cloth before it burns its way through your skin. These products do work, but they are rough on skin, smell horrible, and need to be re-applied often as they only remove hair that’s already above the skina surface.
Permanent Body Hair Removal
Should constant trimming, waxing, and plucking be driving you crazy and you’ve got a bulging wallet, you might consider permanent hair removal through laser treatment. The way this works is that the hair germinative apparatus located within hair follicles is heated by a laser until it’s destroyed. Nothing is guaranteed, though, and several treatments costing upward of $500 each are needed to finish the job.

ok im 24…believe me ive tried many things to get rid of hair…everywhere. So you can shave….i never could wax cause it never works and im allergic to it, i have used the melting creams…they work…esp the guys nair cream….there is also this stuff called shave oil its blue and in a little tube sold at wal marts in the shavor isle with mostly guy stuff but you can shave areas that are really sensitive with that and no bumps! for those of you who are brave you can wax. im also allergic to shaving cream so i just use water or lotion…messy but it works. male razors are best. and for dark hair you can bleach the stuff…but you still got it…it will turn to a fluffy blonde mess instead of a fluffy black mess!
