Having hair on your body is normal, but having it in some areas can be annoying and even embarrassing. For areas where hair is unwanted, there are ways to stop the growth and gain smooth skin. You might need to employ a few hair removal methods, but with persistence, you should gain the smooth, hairless skin you've always wanted.
Step 1
Shave off your unwanted hair growth. Slather on a shaving cream and use a new razor to cut off the hair at the surface of the skin. Shaving needs to be repeated every few days to maintain smooth skin, but it is a quick, effective and cheap way to temporarily put a stop to your unwanted hair.
Step 2
Wax off your unwanted hair. Simply heat up the wax, apply it to your skin, then place a waxing strip over it. Pull the strip off in one fast movement in the opposite direction of hair growth. This will rip out your hair at the root, providing for smooth skin for several weeks before it starts to grow back. Waxing can be painful and cause skin irritation, however, so test it in a small area before trying to remove all the hair from your legs, for instance.
Step 3
Apply a depilatory cream to the unwanted hair. After setting for several minutes, the cream will penetrate the hair follicle and cause the entire hair to fall out. Your skin will be smooth for several weeks following use, though it's possible to suffer from a chemical burn if the cream is used wrong.
Step 4
Have your hair removed using a laser. During this procedure, the laser will be shined on your hair follicles, causing them damage and making it so they won't grow hair anymore. Several sessions are usually required to put a stop to hair growth entirely.
