Best Hair Removal Technique for Each Body Area

Different hair removal techniques tend to work better on different areas of the body due to various hair types and densities, some methods tend to be less effective. I recommend, trying different techniques to see which one works best for you but below is my list of what I have found works best for me. Please feel free to comment/tweet me with your own lists! J

Legs – Shaving

I have shaved my legs for years now and for me it only takes a couple of minutes in the shower once a week. I don’t use shaving gel or foam, just rinse my legs under the warm water, wash them with soap to soften the hair and shave away! The hair does grow back slightly thicker, but since its so cheap and the time it takes, I really can’t complain!

Bikini - Waxing

Unlike shaving, waxing tends to leave no bumps and no trace of hair. I have found shaving often leaves the hair down there going back super thick, and it always returns fairly quickly. Waxing keeps the hair at bay for as long as 4 weeks, leaves the area very smooth & clean and doesn’t hurt that much! (Just minor discomfort)

Armpits – Shaving

I think this area is really about personal preference. I prefer shaving my armpits since it only takes less than a minute in the shower every day. Although I am left with a lot of bumps. If bumps are an issue for you, I’d head to the waxing salon since this is really the best way to avoid them, and keeps you smooth for about a month.

Face – Hair removal cream

This is great since you’re working on a small area and it only takes 5 minutes. Your hair does not grow back thicker, unlike with waxing or shaving and it lasts for about a week. You also don’t have to wait for regrowth to come though (unlike waxing where the hair has to be about 3mm.) With hair removal cream the second you see strands poking though, it can be reapplied and is just as effective. It can be tricky to apply it neatly on to eye brows so I usually supplement this with plucking to tidy them up!
