Excess hair is a concern that plagues both men and women. Though some hair removal methods, such as waxing, cause pain, some options do not. If you have a low tolerance for pain or want to try a new method, consider friction hair removal. It's a cheap hair removal option, but, like shaving or hair removal gel, requires upkeep. To keep skin feeling smooth, repeat the friction hair removal process at least two times a week.

Step 1
Exfoliate your skin with an exfoliator and warm water to remove dead skin cells and soften then hair. Do this on any part of your body with unwanted hair.
Step 2
Hold a pumice stone or hair removal mitt against the unwanted hair. Start along the hair line, as opposed to the the center of a large patch of hair.
Step 3
Rub the pumice stone or hair removal mitt in a small, circular motion until the hair rubs off. Move to a new area once the first patch is removed. Only apply gentle pressure to reduce the risk of skin irritation.
Step 4
Rinse your skin under warm running water to remove any loose hair from your body.
Step 5
Apply a moisturizing lotion to your skin to restore moisture and reduce irritation.
