Many salons around the UK offer easy hair removal services. As well as this there are many hair removal methods which can be carried out in the privacy of your own home.

Each person has their own preferred methods, lets discuss the options.

1. Shaving

Shaving is the most common method of hair removal. For men it is common to shave facial hair and other areas using a shaving device. For women, facial hair removal is carried out using alternative devices, although they do use shavers for other areas of the body. Shaving is a quick way of easy hair removal, with little pain. It can be carried out at home and there is little risk of reactions of the skin. Hair can be removed completely or neatly trimmed and there are a wide range of products available for both men and women.

2. Waxing

Waxing is another simple method for removing excess hair. Waxing was previously carried out in salons only but there are many home waxing products now available which can be bought from local chemists. If you can learn the technique it can be a very cheap and effective way of easy hair removal. Waxing is excellent for larger areas and involves applying hot wax to the skin and then adding waxing strips on top. These are stripped away and pull the hairs with them. Waxing can be painful as many hairs are removed at once and if you especially hairy its recommended to visit a salon as waxing using the home kits can be very messy.

3. Plucking

A tweezer can be used to remove hairs by pulling them out one by one, this method is known as plucking. This method is good for removing small areas of hair but can be very time consuming as each hair is removed individually. There are also the chances of getting ingrowing hairs and it can be painful in certain areas. Plucking is the cheapest method of hair removal as tweezers are cheap to buy.

4. Threading

Threading is a method of easy hair removal which is also inexpensive. Threading originates from the Indian sub continent and is only recently being adopted in the West. It involves twisting a cotton thread and using it to catch hairs and then pull it out. Threading is a technique which can be mastered easily and means that you can remove more hairs at once than with plucking. It is important to only use a cotton thread as the fibres in other materials can often cause irritation to the skin.

5. Depilatories

Depilatories can also be purchased from high street chemists and can be used in the comfort of your own home. Depilatories are creams which can be applied to hair in order to dissolve them. Usually this easy hair removal method involves adding the cream, leaving for a few minutes, and then either wiping away or having a shower to remove the product along with the hair. Depilatories are less painful than waxing but often the hairs return as quickly as shaving.
