Anytime that you want to apply epilator to your hair, then you must know that you are removing from the root. This does not mean that you are removing the root; it simply means that you are removing it from the root. It is better to remove from the root so that it does not grow fast. At least it can make your body smooth and comfortable for the few weeks or months; the hairs would no longer be there. Since the root is not removed, your hair would continue to grow, but anytime it reaches to the body surface, then it is removed again.
