Warm wax is placed on the skin, allowed to dry, and then peeled off with the hairs attached. Shaving is a quick, easy and effective method of hair removal, and it is not true that it causes hair to grow back more abundantly or rapidly. However, it does leave the cut shaft of hair in place, as does trimming with a pair of scissors, so regrowth is inevitable. Tweezing can be painful, but is effective in hair removal. Each pluck starts another growing cycle in the hair root, so this is not a permanent method either.
Electrolysis is the only permanent method of hair removal.
With this procedure, the hair bulb is destroyed by an electric current so that hair cannot regrow. However, electrolysis may be complicated by temporary irritation from the procedure or later, by pitlike scarring. Also, incomplete destruction may allow hair to grow back.
