Women with hirsutism have the characteristic presence of excessive hair on their chins, upper lips, cheeks, i.e., in front of ears, and other parts of their body such as legs, chest, and arms.

For facial hair removal, women may choose any of the permanent, semi-permanent, and temporary solutions.

Permanent Hair Removal Solutions:

This method is undoubtedly expensive. But it can be painful and require quite a few sittings.

In any event, it is not suitable for women with darker skin or those who have excessive facial skin because of hormonal imbalance. Hormonal imbalance, incidentally, can also be because of some medicines the person is asked to take.

• Electrolysis  

In the electrolysis method of removing hair, each and every follicle is heated, one at a time, destroying the possibility of hair re-emerging.

It is also a time-consuming process and expensive to boot because the professionals do the job of removing hair or rather destroying hair one at a time.

The more hair you have, the longer it will take to get every single hair out so you should be ready to shave the remaining hair till all is done.

Depending on how hairy your face is, you may need more than one sitting to completely remove unwanted facial hair.

Semi-Permanent Facial Hair Removal Women Trust And Love

• Waxing

There are different varieties of hair removing waxes. These need to be applied to the part of the face from where the hair is to be removed. The wax hardens on being applied and needs to be pulled off.

This is best suited for chins, upper lips, and cheeks though it is used by professionals even to shape the hair on eyebrows.

As well as being used for facial hair, you can wax your legs and any hairy part of your body, just remember that body wax is different from facial wax.

The effect lasts for almost a fortnight or even a month because the hair is pulled out from the root. The only drawback is that the wax may not suit everybody’s skin.

• Depilatory Creams 

Depilatory creams are made with alkaline chemicals that interact with the hair and most of it can be easily scraped away.

It does not remove the hair from the root, so the effect is not as long-lasting as that from wax.

Nevertheless, it does last for about a week or ten days in most cases.

Its drawback is similar to that of wax, i.e., the chemical may not suit your skin.

• Plucking, Tweezing And Removing With Epilator

In this case, the hair is removed from roots so the effect lasts for more than 10 to 15 days.

However, it requires some skill to remove the hair, and it is time-consuming as well. Epilators are not as effective as waxing or creaming away those hairs.

• Bleaching

This method is not about removing hair. Instead, it sort of camouflages hair. Bleach powder is used along with important agent, i.e., hydrogen peroxide for making the hair seem much lighter in color.

But the skin can be sensitive to any of the bleaching agents, and even to hydrogen peroxide. The effect may last almost three to four weeks, though.

Temporary Solutions For Facial Hair Removal For Women

• Shaving Is A Temporary Solution Available To Women.

The effect may last for less than five days and you may have to shave again every week. But the need to shave frequently depends upon the androgen ratios in the body.

As mentioned before, some women have more of this male hormone, and others have less of it.But shaving is quick and painless.

• Topical Creams.

Dermatologists may prescribe creams that can suppress the growth of hair but hair starts re-growing once the application of those creams is discontinued.

Apart from these methods, there are a few natural methods for facial hair removal women can follow.

• Wheat Bran

You need wheat bran, about 3 tablespoons full, and rose water, about 1 teaspoon. You also need 1 tablespoon full of milk.

Mix it up, and apply on the face, scrub it slowly till the paste dries.

Wait for a couple of minutes and wash it away.

You can try using wheat bran with gram flour, and curd, all in equal quantities. Add a pinch of turmeric to it.

This paste also needs to be applied in the same fashion but it has to be left there for longer, i.e., about 20 minutes or so.

Both these processes need to be used regularly in the beginning, at least for a fortnight.

Thereafter, the frequency may be reduced to twice or thrice each week depending on hair growth.

• Lemon and orange peels 

The peels need to be dried and powdered. You also need powder of almond seeds and some oatmeal. Take equal quantities of all these and add olive oil to it.

You would need about 2 tablespoons of that oil for 1 tablespoon full of each of the other ingredients.  Add rose water, approximately 1 teaspoon full. Mix it.

This paste can be applied and left there for approximately 8 minutes before washing it off. The process needs to be repeated twice or thrice every week.

• Barley

This is a simple one. One measure of powdered barley is mixed with equal quantity of lemon juice and milk. This needs to be applied on face and removed after half an hour.

This works wonderfully for stubborn hair. The process needs to be repeated almost thrice each week.

How often should you remove hair?

I think this will depend on how fast your hair grows, some people shave only once a month and they still have that just done smoothness,yes there are some ladies who need to remove facial hair every week.

So find a balance of what works for you and keep at it. But if you are going to wax sensitive spots like your eyelashes, this should not be done earlier than four weeks.

This is to give your skin time to heal from the last waxing.
