There are many hair removal methods for women to choose from. Some hair removal methods have been around for thousands of years, some are new to the market, some hurt, and some don't.



Hair removal is tricky, and no hair removal methods or products are perfect for every job, but there are tricks that will remove facial hair in easier and more affordable ways.

Hair Removal Method 1 ? Tweezing

Some women choose to tweeze unwanted hairs, but this is not one of the ideal hair removal methods because repeated plucking can cause irritation of the hair follicle. For darker-skinned women, this hair removal method may result in scarring. Also, hair will grow back thicker and stiffer once it's plucked. Hence the aim of removing facial hair for a longer period of time does not work. Unless you have just a few stray hairs that occasionally pop up, avoid tweezing unwanted hair.

Hair Removal Method 2 ? Depilatory creams

These cream dissolve hair at the base of the follicle. This hair removal method is ideal for widespread areas like the legs, but can be problematic when used on the face because they irritate the skin and often remove facial hair cleanly. Depilatory creams are relatively inexpensive but results from this hair removal method will last for one to two weeks before you'll need to look at it again.

Hair Removal Method 3 ? Waxing

This is one of the most popular hair removal methods. Generally, it's an effective method to remove facial hair on the upper lip and fine hair on the sides of the face. But it's not recommended for the chin area where hair tends to be coarser. Waxing may also be problematic for darker-skinned women. They sometimes experience discoloration due to irritation and inflammation in their attempt to remove facial hair. Depending on the type of hair you have, waxing results should last from two to six weeks.

Hair Removal Method 4 ? Laser

Laser hair removal must be done by a licensed professional. It can be expensive and time-consuming, but the results may not be permanent. It is best to discuss with a professional. You can find one by looking in the yellow pages.

Hair Removal Method 5 - Threading

Threading is the ideal facial hair removal alternative to waxing, depilatory creams, tweezing or laser, especially if you have sensitive skin. Unlike other hair removal methods, irritation and skin rashes cab be avoided as the top layer of your skin is not stripped off in the process. Since threading is a completely natural skin removal process, it works on all skin types for a hairless face - whether you have normal skin, sensitive skin, tanned or damaged skin.
