At-Home
Hair
Removal
Methods
Apart
from
shaving,
there
are
a
few
different
ways
to
remove
unwanted
body
hair.
There’s
no
right
or
wrong
answer,
it’s
all
about
what
makes
sense
for
you!
Waxing:
Stop
spending
a
fortune
and
wax
at
home
instead.
Here
are
a
few
esthetician-approved
tips
in
to
set
yourself
up
for
success.
“Use
a
good
quality
wax,
your
wax
should
never
be
runny!
That’s
an
indication
that
it
is
too
hot!
Think
sticky
like
honey,”
Gonzalez
says.
Don’t
try
to
wax
fresh
out
of
the
shower!
Gonzalez
advises
that
you
need
to
“make
sure
your
skin
is
clean
and
dry.”
“Wax
will
not
stick
to
skin
with
lotion
or
oils.
Use
a
drying
agent
like
baby
powder
to
remove
any
excess
oil
and
moisture
from
the
skin.
If
you
are
waxing
make
sure
your
hair
is
as
long
as
a
grain
of
rice
or
1/4
inches,”
she
shares.
And
don’t
be
afraid
to
really
get
in
there.
“Hold
your
skin
taught
to
avoid
brushing
or
breaking
hair
while
waxing
as
this
can
cause
ingrowns,”
she
shares.
“Lay
your
wax
with
the
hair
growth
and
remove
in
the
opposite
direction
(against
the
growth).
This
step
is
very
important.
Pull
parallel
to
the
skin,
NEVER
up!”
Gonzalez
warns. “Most
importantly,
be
patient
and
work
in
small
sections
when
working
with
wax.”
Laser
hair
Removal:
In
terms
of
at-home
laser
hair
removal,
Gonzalez
says
the
method “can
be
effective
in
hair
reduction,
but
they
are
not
all
created
equal,”
so
it’s
important
to
do
your
research
to
see
which
option
is
most
compatible
with
your
hair
color
and
skin
types.
