Shave your legs and underarms to get rid of unwanted hair by using shaving cream -- on your legs -- and a razor. Shave against the grain to get the closest shave, and remove the most hair. Shaving is a cheap and easy way to remove unwanted hair, but you will have to shave every few days to keep unwanted hair away.

Use a hair-removal product by following the instructions on the package. Most hair-removal products come in a cream or lotion form that you rub onto the area where hair should be removed, allow it to sit for several minutes, and then wipe away the product -- along with the hair. Hair-removal products get rid of unwanted hair for several weeks.

Wax unwanted hair by using wax designed for hair removal and wax strips. Follow the instructions included with the waxing supplies so that you don't hurt yourself. Body parts you have waxed will remain hair free for three to six weeks after the first waxing, but it can last for several months with continued use. Waxing can be a painful method of hair removal, so be prepared.

Make an appointment with a laser hair-removal specialist to get rid of hair for a long period of time. This is the most-expensive option, but it also the longest lasting. It usually takes several treatments to fully get rid of the hair. Even laser hair removal is not permanent, but it can last up to several years.
