There’s many ways to remove body hair, and you just have to find the one that best works for you. I’ll present you five different ways to get rid of unwanted leg hair.
Shaving
It‘s the fastest way to remove your hair, but it only gives short-term benefits as the hair is only cut off from the surface and it takes about two days to grow back. And the new hair is usually darker and harder than natural hair. Oh, and it’s also a cheap way to remove hair.
Depilatory cream:
This method has also short-term benefits because the hair takes around 4-5 days to grow back. The main “problem” is that it may be messy so make sure you have enough time. An advantage is that it’s not painful and the hair becomes thinner.
To be able to do it at home you may need to practice a few times and it might be painful. But on the other hand it softens the hair and lets you have hairless legs for a month. It’s also inexpensive. But be carefull with ingrown hair.
Hot wax (at a beauty salon):
More or less the same as warm wax, the main difference is that the estheticienne rips it off without strips. For me only groins were painful, but some people find it really sore. You get a soft skin for a month, and after a few times this period of times gets longer but it’s more expensive than doing it at home.
Laser:
This it’s the most expensive method to remove your hair but after a few sessions (between 5 and 10) you’ll never have to worry about your hair ever again. Before going to your appointment make sure to apply an anesthetic cream (the one recommended by you estheticienne), it may be expensive but it’s worth it. Withe the cream it didn’t hurt at all, and a friend who didn’t use it said that the laser was really painful.
This is my sum up of all the methods to make your decision even easier:
