Hair removal

Hair removal is the practice of eliminating unwanted body hair temporarily or permanently through physical, chemical, or light-based methods.

Shaving: Shaving cuts hair near the skin surface with a blade. It removes visible hair without extracting the root, so regrowth appears quickly.
Bikini waxing: Bikini waxing removes hair from the area around the bikini line using wax. It is a specialized waxing practice for a sensitive, defined body area.
Ingrown hair: An ingrown hair curls or grows back into the skin instead of emerging normally. It can follow shaving, waxing, or other methods that alter hair growth.
Trimming: Trimming shortens hair without removing it at the skin surface or from its root. It changes hair length while leaving most of the hair intact.
Body image: Body image is a person's perceptions, thoughts, and feelings about their body. Expectations about body hair can shape how people evaluate their appearance.
Waxing: Waxing removes hair by pulling it from follicles with adhesive wax. It extracts hair from the root, unlike surface-level shaving.
Brazilian waxing: Brazilian waxing removes most or all pubic hair using wax. It is a more extensive form of intimate-area hair removal.
Pseudofolliculitis barbae: Pseudofolliculitis barbae is an inflammatory skin condition caused by shaved hairs growing into the skin. It is a recurring shaving-related complication, especially in tightly curled hair.
Epilator: An epilator is an electric device that mechanically pulls multiple hairs from their roots. It performs root extraction without wax or adhesive strips.
Beauty standard: A beauty standard is a socially shaped ideal of physical appearance. Standards about smooth skin influence which hair-removal practices become common.
