It’s taboo and many think it’s a slightly gross subject to talk about. So – we’re going to talk about it. Hair. Some like it, some don’t, and some just don’t care. But it is an issue that a lot of woman grapple with. Should you get rid of it? If so, what method works best? Let’s take a look – and don’t worry, we won’t get too close.

Shaving

This is the most basic form of hair removal and the simplest. Shaving is the ideal tool for removing hair in your armpits, as well as your legs. It’s quick, and can be done right in the shower.

Be careful though with this one if you plan to shave anywhere around your bikini line. This method can easily irritate the area and cause ingrown hairs, which are next to impossible to take out. Only shave that area if you are very strapped for time.

Pros: It’s efficient, painless (unless you cut yourself!) and yields good initial results.
Con: Shaving mainly removes hair on the surface without going very deep.

Tweezing

Tweezing is great for hair removal anywhere on your face because it’s swift and accurate. It’s a good way to remove stray hairs that may pop up between shaves and other hair-removal processes. Tweezing is the best method for eyebrows and other areas of your face like your upper lip.

Although tweezing will be painful the first few times, the pain surprisingly diminishes quite a bit as time goes by. The method is also good for cleaning up around your bikini region in between shaving or waxing. If you don’t do either, it’s also good to maintain it a little.

Pros: Tweezing is quick and clean.
Con: This option barely has a con, but I wouldn’t recommend tweezing your entire leg.
