Epilating

Epilators can remove hair as short as 0.5mm, unlike waxing which needs lengths of 2mm hair growth for optimal results. So there’s no need to wait for unsightly regrowth. It has ultra-smooth results, lasting up to four weeks. It is mess-free and new models also come with an extra attachment for removing unwanted hair from specific areas such as the face. Regular epilation can reduce the number of ingrown hair.

Waxing

Wax can keep skin hair-free for weeks, so you don’t have to think about hair removal for some time. You can either do it yourself or depend on professional salon service for the same. The skin can feel a little dry afterwards, so follow with a soothing lotion. 

Threading

In threading hair is removed from the roots, so regrowth is slow, and hair does not grow back prickly. That is why it is the most preferred option for sensitive areas like the upper lip or eyebrows.

Electric Shaving

An electric shaver moves laterally and cut the hair against the edge very close to the skin. This is a convenient hair removal option that’s gentle enough to be suitable for most people. Don’t use it if your skin is already irritated by cuts or rashes.

Wet Shaving

Shaving for removing hair is a convenient option. But just using soap and water is not ideal as it often leaves skin with a dry, scaly appearance. It is better to use a moisturizing shaving gel or cream. 

Tweezers

Tweezers offer a simple and effective way to shape eyebrows or remove unruly hair by plucking them away. They usually have sharp tips, so you need a steady hand while using them.

Suitability

The cream or the wax you have chosen to apply must be suitable for your skin type. If you select a wrong cream or wax then either it will not show good results or you might suffer from side effects such as rashes or reddening of the skin. 

Dermatologist Tested

Your hair removal cream or wax must be verified by the dermatologists in order to minimize the likelihood of side effects.

Date of Manufacturing

As most of these hair removal creams or wax contain chemicals, it is always a good idea to check the expiry date and stop using the product after its expiry date.

Razor Blade

You can find single-blade razors, but two, three, and even five-blade razors. Multiple blades offer some advantages including ease of use, close shave, and reduced cuts.

Battery Operation

Battery operated hair removal products are generally more expensive but provide mobility and convenience. Corded devices on the other hand usually have higher power and last longer (they do not have batteries that die after a fixed number of uses).

Easy and Healthy to Use

There are new models available featuring up to five blades making it easier to eliminate hair on any part of your body like legs, underarms, and bikini lines with fewer nicks and bumps. To further reduce irritation, prep the skin with shaving cream before removing hair; it's more hydrating and allows for a less painful shave than soap does. A hair-free skin looks neater and gives off a well-groomed vibe. 

Convenient

We have come a long way from the messy waxing days. While waxing is still an option, there are several other options for hair removal that are much more convenient with minimum clean-up after the hair removal process.
