Typically, hair removal has been associated with high-cost professional treatments. But this is not exactly feasible for all who want hair-free skin. Herein, we help you be more aware of affordable DIY hair removal techniques that can be used to obtain the same results.

1. Waxing
Waxing is a rather popular hair-removal technique that is widely used across the globe. But is this a DIY-suitable technique? The answer to this question is a resounding yes! Waxing helps keep the growth of hair at bay as it plucks out the hair from the follicle. There are also other benefits such as exfoliation, which helps your skin look super smooth and ensures that the hair grows back finer. For waxing at home, you need to keep in mind the area that you are waxing, the temperature of the wax, the right products for sensitive skin, post-waxing care, etc.

2. Epilating
When it comes to DIY hair-removal techniques, we would be remiss to leave this one off the list. Epilating is a process that is similar to waxing. It pulls the hair all the way out from the root. You can epilate with the help of an electric device that looks similar to an electric shaving machine. It comes with rotators that help pluck out the hair and keep the skin hair-free for a long time. When using an epilator, you need to maintain the right angle and use the right after cream to ensure that your skin stays healthy.

3. Depilatory Cream
Depilatory creams are ideal for those who want to opt for pain-free hair removal techniques. It helps remove the hair with the help of chemicals that quite literally dissolve the hair on the surface of the skin. Of course, this can only be achieved if the cream is used appropriately. On the downside, depilatory creams are not ideal for those with sensitive skin. To test if this works with your skin, it is best to use the cream on a small area first.

4. Laser Hair Removal
Many think that laser hair removal can only be done clinically. But, that’s actually not the case as a wide range of laser hair removal devices available for use at home. However, the products used for this procedure can be expensive. On the plus side, laser hair removal is almost as close as you can get to actual permanent hair removal.

5. Shaving
This is the most commonly used DIY hair-removal technique. It’s easy, quick, and, most importantly, accessible to many. Shaving is the most inexpensive DIY hair removal technique on this list. All you need is the right razor and products that help prep your skin for shaving. But this technique can result in ingrown hair and bumps.

Over the past few years, hair removal has become a much-debated topic. Through it all, it is important to note is that keeping your hair or taking it off should always be a personal choice.
