Hair removal is a cultural idea that nearly everyone adheres to. Removing your own unwanted body hair can be painful, time-consuming, and only last in the short term. There are many methods of longer term hair removal that rid you of the need to shave every day, and can help you be rid of the embarrassment of body hair in places that are not culturally accepted, such as on your back. Some of these treatments can be a bit painful and a bit more costly than shaving or waxing.
