If you have pigmented hair and are looking for a long term solution to excess hair growth, then lasers are an excellent solution. “The coarser and darker the hair, along with the paler the skin, the better the results are likely to be,” explains Dr Shotter. If you have just one or two stray hairs, you could pluck them with a tweezer. If it’s a patch that’s a little bit bigger, you could explore other options such as shaving, hair removal creams or waxing, which Hilary believes is the best inexpensive at-home method, as it lasts up to 6 weeks with regrowth becoming thinner overtime. However, “it takes practice,” says Hilary. ‘My top tips are; ensure the area is dry so that the wax can properly adhere to the hair, wax the area in different sections as hair can grow in different directions, and keep skin taut when pulling the wax strip so you're pulling the hair from the root."
