Hair removal forum

Hairfacts is my main site. It’s based on verifiable hair removal facts you can go check yourself.

 HairTell is about consumer experiences with hair removal, which are often not possible to verify and are not scientific. Although most consumers here are honest and helpful, due to the nature of the internet, a few bad apples might be giving bogus hair removal information. I invite you to head to the  hair removal forums and register for free!

Temporary hair removal methods

Depilation

Removing part of the hair above the skin’s surface lasting several hours to several days:

Epilation

Removing the entire hair lasting several days to several weeks:

  • Rotary epilators (devices which rapidly grasp hairs and pull them out by the root)
  • Threading (also called fatlah or khite, in which a twisted thread catches hairs as it’s rolled across the skin)
  • Waxing and sugaring (a hot or cold sticky layer is applied and then removed. taking hair with it)
  • Tweezing

Here, you have several imperfect options. Permanently destroying the areas that regulate hair growth while sparing surrounding tissue is a difficult challenge.

Restricted hair removal methods

Doubtful hair removal methods

These methods have not been subjected to enough rigid scientific scrutiny to back their claims of effectiveness.
