Unwanted hair can be very unsightly. Who wants to go out on the beach in a high-cut bikini with hair peeking out, or wear shorts when they have fuzzy legs? That hair has to be zapped, but what method is best?
The first and probably the most popular home hair removal method is shaving. Shaving can be done using a regular razor or an electric one. While this method is effective and inexpensive, it must be repeated 1-2 times a week to keep your legs or face looking good.
Another method for removing unwanted hair is by using cream depilatories, which remove hair at the roots. This method lasts a little longer than shaving, however it can be very messy and the creams often smell bad. This method can also cause inflammation, which is why many depilatory kits also include a soothing lotion.
A third method is waxing. This method also removes hair at the root, but it is a more painful experience than using a depilatory, and can also sometimes cause inflammation. In order to be effective, the hair to be waxed must be at least one quarter inch thick.
These are the safest and most effective ways to remove hair at home. Which one you choose depends on your pain tolerance, budget, and time constraints. No matter which one you choose, you’ll have to work hard to achieve a hair-free body that is ready for the summer.
