Hair removal for beginners, especially for girls, can be a necessary evil due to societal mindset. It is crucial to take your time and decide if you really want to undergo any of the processes to remove body hair, but keep in mind that there need not be a set reason for doing so either. The most common areas include the face, underarms, legs, bikini area, back, and eyebrows.

Common hair removal methods for beginners

• Shaving
  Shaving is the easiest, most accessible, and the cheapest way to remove hair. It takes a minute or two to shave off the hair from the area you want, and works best for underarms, legs, and the bikini line. If you employ the right technique such as shaving against the hair growth you, the results will be optimum. You should be aware of your skin type and if you are vulnerable to ingrown hair, irritation due to the shaving cream, and razor bumps. On the downside, especially if you are new to shaving, it can be slightly a damaging technique for future hair growth patterns. It can also lead to various cuts and nicks if not done properly. It is important that you should use a razor specifically meant to handle the curves around knees and ankles. Also, since shaving only removes hair above the skin, the regrowth is quicker.
• Waxing
  Waxing is sometimes also referred to as sugaring. The technique can be used all over the body, and unlike shaving, you don’t need to fear any nicks. The best part is it removes the hair from the root of the skin, making it grow back at a much slower rate. In this method, hot or warm wax is spread on the skin. Then, a small sheet of cloth/waxing strip is placed on the skin, and the wax is allowed to stick to it. This is then pulled against the grain of the hair, removing the strands stuck to the strip. On the downside, waxing can be a little expensive and you need a trained professional to perform this hair removal method, especially if you’re a beginner. Also, it can be painful and it requires a certain amount of hair regrowth before waxing can be done again.
• Laser hair removal
  It can be performed on any part of the body. But, since it requires multiple sessions, which may sometimes even extend to months, it is advisable only for smaller areas such as the face or the bikini line. The best part about this method is that with consistent monthly treatments, most women observe about a 50 percent hair growth reduction. Having said that, it is also one of the most expensive ways of hair removal. You should only get laser hair removal done from an experienced dermatologist who is not just well versed with the technique but who is also well versed with the skin types. An inexperienced professional can cause skin damage in the form of pigment changes or even burns.

These are some of the most common ways of hair removal for beginners. You must choose a method best suited for you depending on your budget, the period between sessions, and your pain tolerance.
