1. Waxing: This is a very popular method in the media because of the exquisite pain it brings to people who try this method. For some reason it puts a smile to audiences faces but that's another story. This method is quick and will leave you quite smooth for a long time compared with other manual methods of hair removal.

2. Depilatory Creams: These creams work by essentially dissolving the roots of your hair so that they fall out on their own. The thing is this method may have undesirable byproducts such as cause acne breakouts, as well as cause irritation to the skin in general. Chemical burns are also possible depending on the strength and quantity of the product you apply to your body.

3. Electrolysis: this is the only permanent solution for hair removal and is quite popular for that reason. It is a bit more expensive than other hair removal processes and requires several treatment sessions before it is done.

4. Epilators: are devices that pulls the hair from their roots (ouch) and can last for many weeks to a month and a half. These devices work better for certain lengths of hair such as less than a quarter of an inch. There may be some hard-to-reach places on your body that will make this method impractical in some cases.
