Depilation
Depilation is a generic term for hair removal which affects the part of the hair above the surface of the skin. The most common form of depilation is shaving. Another popular option is the use of chemical depilatories, which work by breaking the disulfide bonds that link the protein chains that give hair its strength, making the hair disintegrate.

Epilation is removal of the entire hair, including the part below the skin. Some individuals may use waxing, sugaring, epilation devices, lasers, Intense Pulsed Light or previously electrolysis (cosmetology). Hair is also sometimes removed by plucking.






Hair removal has been practiced for centuries in almost all human cultures. The methods used vary among times and regions, but shaving is the most common method.

Removal of hair for social, cultural, or sexual reasons
Hair is normally removed for social and sexual reasons related to the social role of hair in human society. Many cultures have an aesthetic "ideal" amount of hair for males and females. Many men in Western cultures shave their facial hair, to the point that only a minority of men has a beard. In some cultures (e.g. Sikhs), men cannot shave or otherwise remove their hair .
In Western culture, many women shave their body hair in the belief that body hair is not feminine (see gender role), or because they think it makes them look ugly. Many women in America and Japan shave off all their pubic hair in hopes of looking more youthful thus more attractive to their sexual mate and/or in the desire to simply look and feel younger themselves. By shaving off graying, thinning, and/or brittle hair, they get rid of the aging evidence. But it isn't just middle-age women that do so. With youth being so prized in American and Japanese cultures, young women do so to make themselves appear even more youthful. The practice though is most commonly done by upper-class women in these two countries and a usual practice is to make a couple of trips to health spas that will use lasers or electrolysis to permanently remove all the pubic hair to save future labor by them. In some US cities (such as Dallas), parents give this as part of their high school graduation present to their daughters. It being given along with paying for breast implants to make their daughters more attractive when husband-hunting on college campuses. Many women of African descent commonly shave all their groin pubic hair due to its common coarse nature to reduce irritation of their partner's skin due to rapid repeated rubbing that takes place during sexual intercourse.

Some men shave their heads, either as a fashion statement or to cover up male pattern baldness. A very few women also shave their heads for fashion reasons or to make a social political statement.



Places on the body where hair is often removed
Hair grows on most areas of the human body, except for the palms of the hands and the feet, but hair is most noticeable in most people in a small number of areas that are most commonly waxed, trimmed, plucked, or shaved:

Facial hair

Permanent
Permanent hair removal involves several imperfect options. A number of methods have been developed that use chemicals, energy of varying types, or a combination to target the areas that regulate hair growth. Permanently destroying these areas while sparing surrounding tissue is a difficult challenge.

Permanent hair removal for most

Electrolysis
Permanent hair reduction for some

Laser
Flashlamp (also called Intense Pulsed Light or IPL)
Lasting hair inhibition for many (requires continuous use)

Prescription oral medications
A new method of epilation is to use enzymes that inhibit the development of new hair cells. Hair growth will become less and less until it finally stops, normal depilation/epilation will be performed during that time. Products include the presciption drug Vaniqa (active ingredient eflornithine hydrochloride inhibiting the enzyme ornithine decarboxylase) - effective for 46% of women.
Temporary
Depilation lasting several hours to several days can be achieved by:

Shaving or trimming (manually or with electric shavers)
Depilatories (creams or "shaving powders" which chemically dissolve hair)
Friction (rough surfaces used to buff away hair)
Epilation lasting several days to several weeks can be achieved by:

Waxing (a hot or cold layer is applied and then removed with porous strips)
Plucking (hairs are plucked, or pulled out, with tweezers)
Sugaring (similar to waxing, but with a sticky paste)
Threading (also called fatlah or khite, in which a twisted thread catches hairs as it's rolled across the skin)
Rotary epilators (devices which rapidly grasp hairs and pull them out by the root)

A great alternative to laser hair removal is using heat pulses to remove the hair cell. I personally have had excellent results with the no no hair remover. It is one of the few products available for home use which takes advantage of Thermicon technology. Maybe it can help you? No No Hair Review
