If I could wave a magic wand and have undesirable facial and body hair be a thing of the past, I would; sorry to say, it's here to stay and the price to remove it isn't going anywhere either. Every morning, millions of men pull out the shaving cream and razor and go through the motions of acquiring a clean shave, some even shave their legs and other areas of the body as well. The amount of money, time, and effort that women spend removing unwanted hair is typically much greater than men. As this affects all of us, it makes good sense to be certain that we are receiving the best result for our efforts.

Keep perusing and we will look at some of the costs, pros, and cons for assorted methods of getting rid of unwanted hair.

Shave it off!

It's been around for many, many years and actually hasn't changed a lot. You use a blade to cut the hair next to the skin but don't forget the shaving cream, dry shaving isn't fun. Clearly, when shaving, nicks and cuts are a certain possibility. It is a razor after all but you can decrease the risk of getting them by using a high-quality sharp blade and going easy. This is the least costly option for removing unwanted hair, plan on wasting around $15 to $25 per month.

Using hot wax to rip my hair out of my skin, sounds like a fun afternoon to me.

I can't believe this is even an option, but lots of people do it. The process of using wax to tear out your hair is really painful, and you want to have it done where on your body? Waxing the bikini area as well as on the face seems to be where it is most customary. Shaving can't compare with waxing if you look at the amount of hair free time you experience between treatments. Anyone that has seen the waxing scene with Steve Carell in the movie 40 Year Old Virgin knows what kind of pain and suffering we are talking about here. You can see it on YouTube if you didn't see the movie. Plan on $25 to $100 if you are going to manage this at home, comparatively with the areas you are having done it will be additional if you want to have a professional treatment. Half of a leg can cost $35 to $60 so you can guess what getting everything done costs.

Not as irritating as waxing, not as agreeable as shaving.

Pulling the hair out by the root is one of the benefits of an epilator, it has a spring that grabs the hair and then rips it out. Sound like a enjoyable time? Certain epilators still plug in but most are battery operated and some are even waterproof. Together with a more permanent method for removing hair, this is a great way to get hair free now while working toward a long lasting solution. You will find that you can get an epilator at a cost of $20 to $150. The wide price range is due to the various levels of quality, features and accessories that come with it.

Laser me baby

You can't really do this at home, but many regard laser a good way to remove unwanted hair. If you are planning to have laser hair removal done, make sure that you scrutinize carefully what the pros recommend. It's most effective on people with dark hair and light skin. Less efficient on lighter hair and at times won't even work. Usually, a interview will be done to decide if you are a safe candidate for laser treatments. At times, this interview will specify that your skin is too dark or your hair is too light and you will be forced to look elsewhere for your hair removal needs. Another chief drawback for laser hair removal is the cost. Many pay out way too many dollars having multiple treatments done to find that they still have unwanted hair, where does it end? Skin discoloration is one of the listed possible side effects when having laser treatments done.

Using the no!no! may be a better option for your hair removal needs.

The ability to get rid of unwanted hair in your own home is exactly what the people at Radiancy were trying to achieve when they created the nono 8800. The process that nono uses for treating the hair is called Thermicon. Basically it transfers a pulse of heat to the hair and crystallizes the root, leaving reduced hair growth in the section that is treated. Does nono hair removal work? I found a mixed result while researching customer reviews on the no!no! and the no!no! 8800. Some found the results they wanted, others didn't. Broadly, the claims that it didn't work came from people that didn't use the no!no! for very long. As a whole, those that did found much better results. The nono 8800 can also be used on all hair types and all skin colors with no pain or irritation. The cost to purchase your own nono 8800 is about $270. There is an additional cost for the Thermicon tips to be replaced when they are needed.

I wager there will be other techniques for removing hair as we move into the future and there are others that were not even included in this list. You will probably discover that there are no hair removal approaches that work every single time for every single person. If you are able to unite a few of these techniques, you may find reaching your hair removal goals to be easier than you suppose.
