There are many ways to remove unwanted hair permanently both professionally or DIY in the comfort of your own home. One of the best ways to get rid of unwanted body hair is by using home remedies for hair removal. Home remedies are cheap and can be made with ingredients that are easily available.
Pumice stone
Pumice stone hair removal is done by rubbing a pumice stone over the area desired with soap everyday to remove hair growth. This is abrasive and is not recommended to be done on people with sensitive. It also cannot be used on every part of the body. Recommended places to use it one are the hands and legs.
Sugaring
Using a similar concept as waxing, the concoction is applied to the skin, left to cool and harden and removed. By using 2 cups of sugar with ¼ cup of water and ¼ cup of lime juice, heating the solution until it has a consistent texture and applying it to the skin when the temperature is acceptable.
Shaving
Shaving is the most common method of hair removal and can be done almost anywhere on the body. A large amount of hair can be removed in a short time cheaply. However, it is easy to suffer from razor burn and irritation when shaving. Shaving also cuts the hair only to the surface of the skin and the area must be shaved every day in order to look presentable.
Tweezing and plucking
Tweezing and plucking removal last longer than shaving as it removes hair from its roots. It will take some time for the hair to re-grow out, allowing the area to be hair free for a longer duration. However, plucking is significantly more painful than other methods and is extremely time-consuming as each strand of hair is plucked one at a time. It is most ideal for a few strands of stray hair here and there instead of a large area of unwanted hair.
Waxing
Waxing is done by spreading a thin layer of wax onto the skin with unwanted body hair and allowing the wax to cool and harden, and pulling it off. The harden wax will pull the hair follicles with it and the area will be able to remain hair free for a longer amount of time. However, it is easy to burn yourself with the hot wax. Waxing is a fast process and a large amount of hair can be removed easily.
Home remedies are cheap and easy to carry out. You can also do it in the comfort of your own home and do it in your free time. Moreover, you will have complete privacy during the entire process!
