How to Prevent Body Hair Regrowth

Body hair removal and prevention is a hot topic in personal care. Just do an Internet search and you'll find numerous websites claiming the efficacy of this or that product or this or that treatment for removing unwanted body hair and preventing its regrowth. The truth of the matter is that while there are many ways to remove body hair--from waxing to tweezing--there are very few ways to completely prevent its regrowth. However, some hair removal methods are better at preventing hair regrowth than others.

Instructions

1. Try waxing. Regular waxing can delay regrowth and make hair regrowth appear thinner. You can go to a salon or try waxing at home.

2. Get laser hair removal. Laser hair removal is probably the only way of permanently removing hair, but even it can be unpredictable. Tiny lasers zap the hair follicles causing them to die. Repeat treatments can lead to permanent hair removal, although it is likely that hair will eventually grow back.

3. Go natural. According to FatFreeKitchen.com, turmeric, an herb made from the curcuma longa plant, can prevent or slow hair growth when applied directly to the skin. Various other non-expert websites make the same claim; however, there is no scientific evidence to back it up. In fact, according to an article in The New Straits Times, turmeric has "hair growth promoting effects." Proceed at your own risk.
