A lot of people have to deal with unwanted hair on several parts of the body and have grappled unsuccessfully with methods of removing them for good. A number of considerations such as the area and amount of hair growth, your skin sensitivity and your skin type can decide the hair removal technique best suited for you.

Shaving is the most widespread method of removing hair. While shaving is effective and inexpensive, it isn't permanent and you need to do it frequently to maintain hair-free skin. For example, men usually shave their facial hair daily. Shaving is also popular for getting rid of chest hair and leg hair.

Another alternative is waxing hair off the body. However, the procedure is messy and generally cannot be done without help from another person. The advantage of waxing is that the extraction of hair is done from its base and therefore, it doesn't grow back for about a fortnight, offering you a longer duration of freedom from unwanted hair. However, the procedure hurts a lot and it might not be appropriate for removal of hair from sensitive parts.
