Even though I’ve been known to use hair growth serum for healthier hair, there are some places hair isn’t welcome. There are plenty of hair removal options out there, from chemicals to shaving to electrocution. Here I cover natural hair removal options that work and are gentle on skin.
Before we talk about removing hair, let’s talk about why it’s there in the first place. Body hair serves several purposes, but mainly it provides warmth and reduces friction. It protects against sun and wind damage and in certain places (like the nose) acts as a gatekeeper to ward off bacteria and dirt.
According to Encyclopedia Brittanica, every month we gain another ½ inch of hair growth.
Even though hair serves a purpose, we don’t always want it in certain areas. When choosing a hair removal method it’s important to note different options work better on different areas.
Many conventional hair removal options are safe and natural. Others…. not so much. Here’s the rundown of different ways people remove unwanted body hair. I’ll cover the pros and cons of each and which methods are the healthiest for skin and hair.
