By Facial hair is the bane of our existence. Even that one stray eyebrow hair is enough to drive us crazy! And if you don’t take care of that ‘stache, you best believe that your amma will be the first to point it out.
To ensure we don’t stay prickly for long, we’ve compiled a list of your best recommendations for facial hair removal. Happy tweezing!
Shaving
It’s quick, it’s easy and it’s super affordable! With the variety of facial razors and trimmers available today, getting rid of facial hair has never been easier!
“Shaving is the best!” @fatimass18
“Shaving = peak feminism!” @ree.syed
“Shave!! It’s the best! No pulling or tugging. And no, you won’t grow a manly beard afterwards.” @namalverho
“Tinkle razor all the way! Been using it for 5-6 years. I’ve ditched threading and wax.” @very_wardah
Waxing
The ultimate hair removal method! And with the variety of wax types available, you’ll be sure to find something that suits you. Yes, it’s a bit painful but think of that smooth, silky skin you’ll have for weeks!
“Waxing upper lip and sideburns and threading forehead and eyebrows.” @ruchika_tiwadi
“Waxing strips!” @kalsoomalik
“Rica avocado wax!” @theveryrandomgirl
“Sugar or fruit wax.” @alisa.sakhera
Threading
By far the most popular recommendation we got! It’s cheap and gets the job done – and all you need is some simple thread. Could it get any simpler?
“Threading – ice your face soon after and moisturise!” @nia_hshah

“Threading eyebrows and upper lips and the rest of the face through a tinkle razor.” @aimenshariq

Although a newer technology, laser hair removal has quickly become very popular. It destroys the hair at the follicle’s root, making sure those strands never sprout again!
