Whether you choose to remove some of your body hair, all of it or none of it at all, there’s no denying that there are a lot of different methods to choose from. Everyone seems to have their favourite way of getting rid of hair on their face and body, but which one is the best? The truth is that there is no ultimate hair removal technique. Some methods might get rid of hair better or for longer, but that doesn’t mean that everyone will like them. Each method has its pros and cons, and each woman has her priorities as to what they’re looking for in the experience. You can decide which hair removal method could be right for you using the guide below.
Shaving
Shaving might be the most common form of hair removal, and it’s also one of the easiest. It might sometimes take a while, but compared to some other methods it’s really quite quick. Shaving is also completely painless (unless you accidentally cut yourself). As long as you don’t mind shaving fairly regularly to stay silky smooth, then shaving isn’t too much of a hassle. It’s quite cheap, in the short-term at least, and it’s easy to decide not to shave if you can’t be bothered.
Waxing
Waxing is longer lasting than shaving but, unlike shaving, it’s not pain-free. However, waxing is quick, and the pain is fleeting. You get used to the sensation, and it can be worth it to not have to bother with shaving any more. Waxing also makes it much easier to reach awkward places, like your bikini line. It might sting to wax your bikini line, but many women see it as preferable to trying to shave. You don’t have to wax as often as shaving, and you can even do it at home now. Plus, you can get waxing strips for your face, to tackle your eyebrows, chin and other problem areas.

Laser Hair Removal
If you want a more permanent form of hair removal, you can try laser hair removal. Although it’s not necessarily a pleasant feeling, most people describe the sensation of laser hair removal as a mild discomfort, rather than pain. It’s great for targeting small or large areas and removes hair semi-permanently. Although the hair might grow back later, usually you only need to have a few sessions of laser treatment to get rid of it. However, you should weigh up the cost of laser hair removal against other methods. It can be a bit costly but will probably save you money long-term.
Hair Removal Cream
Hair removal cream is another at-home method that some people love. However, you do need to be careful with it if you have sensitive skin. But if you don’t like the effort of shaving or waxing, you might prefer hair removal cream. You apply it, leave it on to work its magic and then wipe it off. Hair removal cream won’t cause nasty ingrown hairs, like you might get with shaving or waxing. Like shaving, it’s painless, as long as you don’t have a reaction to it or leave it on too long. However, as with shaving, you do have to use it quite often.
