Body Hair Removal

There are four approaches to removing body hair:

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 (learn how to pluck 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 methodDepilatories for Body Hair

Depilatories are chemical hair removal 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 skin's surface.

Permanent Body Hair Removal

LaserShould constant trimming, waxing, and plucking be driving you crazy and you’ve got a bulging wallet, you might consider permanent hair removal through laser hair 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.

    Hey all. To get rid of arm hair, I would advise bleaching. Shaving is a definite no-no. I’m sorry, but feel your legs after you don’t shave for a day. Do you really want that on your arms? Its uncomfotable, time consuming, and frankly, gross. If you get very desperate, you can use laser hair removal, but that’s extreme and expensive. Experiment (carefully) with other products until you find one that works! Hope that helped!

    Okay, this is kinda embarrasing but I’ll say it anyway…
    I have, like, stubble between my eyebrows. It looks soooooo gross, and it looks like I have a unibrow. I try to pluck it away, but it leaves like, dots underneath my skin from where the hair is growing in… All I’ve tried is tweezers, but I DEFINATELY want that to be gone before people start to make fun of me for it. HELP ME!
