Shave off your finger hair. Use a sharp razor and shave in the direction of growth to reduce stubble. Shaving is fast and effective, but you will have to shave your fingers about once a week. Hair may also grow in a little sharp after shaving, as it cuts the hair off at the skin and does not remove the hair from the follicle.

2
Wax your finger hair. Apply a hair removal wax to your fingers and then apply the wax strips. Press the strips down firmly, then swiftly pull them off in the direction opposite to the direction of the hair growth. Waxing pulls the hair out completely and usually lasts a couple of weeks. Waxing can be uncomfortable the first couple of times, but after that, it usually becomes less painful.

Pluck your finger hair. You may use electric tweezers for a less painful experience, but regular tweezers are just as effective. Plucking takes more time, but lasts a few weeks, and the hair usually grows in smooth.

Apply a depilatory cream to your fingers. Follow the directions carefully: Certain creams must be removed at a specific time to be effective. Depilatory creams usually last a few weeks.
Always use caution when you apply any type of hair removal cream, as you may have an allergic reaction. Test the cream on a small area of skin before applying it to larger areas. If your skin shows a reaction, discontinue use immediately

Laser hair removal and electrolysis are the options for permanent hair removal. Both treatments can be pricey, as they require multiple appointments.
Electrolysis treats each hair individually with an electrical current, to kill the hair follicle. Laser hair removal uses targeted light to selectively kill the hair follicle, while leaving the surrounding skin unheated. If your hair is light or you have dark skin, laser hair removal may not be as effective. A good candidate for laser hair removal should have dark hair and light skin.
