There are many ways to remove unwanted hair at home. Body hair is a woman's greatest enemy. We would describe it as the biggest and most clinging. No matter what you do in order to get rid of them, they will grow back.
In addition to sprouting back, they cause skin rashes, irritation, nicks, pimples, and ingrown hairs. Not forgetting the money and chemicals required for waxing, shaving, and threading.
Whether it's genetics or simply ageing that causes those stray hairs to appear more often, dealing with unwelcome hair on one's face or body is a very common occurrence.
The good thing is that there is an array of ways to remove unwanted hair — shaving, bleaching, waxing, and threading are among those that come to mind.
Here's a look at eight ways to remove unwanted hair at home.
Ways to remove unwanted hair at home
1) Use tweezers
A set of tweezers is likely to already be at your disposal. Whether you use them to pluck the occasional brow hair or to hold artificial eyelashes, they're a strong competitor for removing unwanted hair from your face.
While they might not be the best choice for plucking more than a few hairs, they are ideal for quickly removing stray hairs. Just keep the skin taut and pluck out the strands in question — that's what there is to it.
2) Spearmint tea
Spearmint tea is known to reduce testosterone levels in the blood. The researchers hypothesised that the tea could alleviate signs of mild hirsutism.
In a further investigation, it is shown to lower androgen levels among women with PCOS, which could help them lose facial hair.
3) Alum and Rose water
Alum has been used as an antibacterial to help prevent infections. It is also used to eliminate unwanted body odour and soothe the skin after shaving.
Rose water is an organic toner that moisturises the skin. These two together remove excess body hair.
4) Sugaring
Sugaring is sometimes compared to — and mistaken for — waxing. Both eliminate hair from the root and provide longer-lasting effects than shaving; however, sugaring removes hair in the typical way of hair growth, while waxing pulls in the other direction.
Sugaring also makes use of a sticky combination of natural components, the most common of which is sugar.
5) Lemon juice and sugar
Combine the two components with a small amount of water. It should form a sticky, grainy paste.
When you rinse it off, your hair is also pulled off. Lemon juice serves to bleach the remaining hair. You can use this on alternating days. If you've got dry skin, do not leave it on for more than 15–20 minutes.
6) Waxing
If you like traditional waxing, you are able to perform it naturally. Natural waxes derived from beeswax, honey, and resin are a great replacement for their chemical-laden equivalents.
They are as effective at eliminating hair from its source but are considerably gentler on the skin.
7) Hair removal creams
Hair removal creams tend to be inexpensive, convenient, and easy to use at home.
They also produce results that persist longer than shaving but shorter than waxing. This makes them a great compromise for folks who want to stay free of hair for an extended period of time without having to wax.
8) Papaya and turmeric
This is effective because papaya includes papain, a chemical that aids in hair removal.
Turmeric has also been traditionally used for hair removal. However, you'll most likely muster up the therapy on a daily basis for at least two weeks before noticing improvements.
Many people desire their skin to be silky and smooth all year. Individuals who can afford to make investments in costly hair removal solutions prefer laser treatments.
Laser removal provides a simple approach to getting rid of unwanted hair. On the other hand, natural therapies save you money while still producing the desired outcomes.
