The following is a list of various methods men and women have found to effectively remove unwanted facial and body hair. Some have been determined more practical and effective for particular places on the body, others are safe and useful all over. Links are included for those methods and product brands I have personally experienced and found success with. Additionally, keep in mind that I have omitted some hair removal alternatives such as laser hair removal treatment from the list if my research concluded them to not be as effective overall as other methods.

Shaving
The most common hair removal technique for both men and women is probably the old fashioned shaving method. Males and females frequently use disposable or refillable razor blades or else electric razors to shave their face, legs and other parts of the body. Shaving is quick and fairly easy since you can do it yourself from the privacy and comfort of your own house. The down sides to shaving are that the hair comes back extremely quickly (sometimes within one day), it comes in feeling spiky and uncomfortable and there is a great chance of getting ingrown hairs from the shave. Shaving is something that you must keep up with on a regular basis if you want to maintain a hairless, smooth skin appearance and feel.

Takeaways
  • Did you know with a doctor's prescription you can remove unwanted body hair with an oral medicine?
  • NADS hair removal gel, as seen on TV, is a sugaring type of hair removal technique.
  • There are both permanent and temporary hair removal methods for both men and women's body and face.

I prefer laser hair removal or electrolysis. I am stuck with waxing thougth since laser hair removal is so expensive. I did try electrolysis in a small area of my legs but bleed to much from the needle to allow them to continue.
