How to Lose Stomach Hair for Women

Unwanted body hair can be frustrating and embarrassing. If you are a woman who has hair on your stomach, it is likely unwanted. Some women are simply prone to more body hair growth than others. Thankfully, there are many things that you can do to discourage and eliminate unwanted stomach hair. Some treatment methods bring very short-term results, while other methods offer long-term solutions.

Things You'll Need

• Tweezers
• Razor
• Shaving cream
• Depilatory lotion
• Electrolysis
• Laser hair removal
• Hair growth inhibitor lotion

Instructions

1. Pluck your stomach hair, using tweezers. If you only have a few stray hairs on your stomach, this method of hair removal works well. If you have a substantial amount of stomach hair, plucking can be a painstakingly slow process.

2. Shave your stomach hair, using a razor and shaving cream. Shaving provides short-term relief from stomach hair. You will generally experience stubble within one to four days.

3. Use a depilatory lotion on your stomach. Depilatory lotions dissolve hair at the root. You merely apply the lotion, leave it on for the specified amount of time and then rinse it off. Your stomach hair should rinse off with the lotion.

4. Wax your stomach hair. You can either get this done professionally or do it at home yourself. Hair is removed from the root so you'll generally experience hair-free skin for one to four weeks.

5. Try laser hair removal. The laser's light targets the pigment in hair so it works best on dark hair. It provides long-term results and is known as a permanent hair reduction method. Generally, you'll need repeated sessions to achieve desired results.

6. Get electrolysis. Electrolysis is the only permanent method of hair removal. The technician will insert a needle into each hair follicle and zap it with electricity. Since the follicle is killed, hair will not regrow there. You will likely need repeated sessions to get rid of all your stomach hair.

7. Apply hair growth inhibitor lotion to your stomach. This lotion is available over-the-counter in most drug stores. It interferes with hair follicle receptors, thereby slowing the growth process. You must continue using the hair growth inhibitor lotion to maintain results.

Tips & Warnings

• Your skin will be sensitive to the sun after laser hair removal.
