Doable, Easy and Effective Ways to Reduce Body Hair Growth
These ain’t from a book but from my own experiences! Try if you care, doesn’t hurt for sure
- Time it right: I have noticed a huge reduction in hair growth if I plan the body hair removal 1 or 2 days before start of periods. It seems to slow down the growth spurt, pushing the next session by 7-10 days. Damn, does that really work! Easy one, try it next time!
- Climate matters: Yes, certainly. Haven’t you noticed barely any growth when traveling to Europe of Canada? There seems to be less body hair growth in colder places, so next time you are packing your beanie’s and long coats, you can rest easy on packing that hair removal kit.
- No leg show: Well, sad but true. Long and covered clothes seem to slow down the hair growth somehow on legs, atleast in my experience. That may mean saying good bye to hot pants for everyday use though! But if you do, then do write back if you see a difference.
- DIY hacks: Lemon and sugar paste is really good for skin lightening and inexpensive, available everywhere. Even after a beach day.
- Dear Stress, let’s take a break: Stress brings out the worst, in this case quite literally! Especially facial hair. Have you wondered why there is sort of less body hair growth when on vacay! Happiness is a hormone, recall that! Do I see you nodding already!
Now time to learn how to fix that hair growth, and ace the wax and hair removal at home or on the go.

“time is right” point was bang on. I never paid attention towards this. Coming to the option-I have used Veet and I liked it. We don’t get Everteen, here but lately I read a lot about this brand.

I had no idea that timing plays a role here, I will try this trick next time for sure. I have used Veet cream for hair removal once or twice years ago. But during the lockdown I came to know about the Veet wax strips, just love them. Now, I am not sure if I would ever go back to the salon. I am going to try Everteen too.

Thankfully my hair growth is slow and I don’t need to wax regularly. Hair removal creams and Veet have been a saviour for my friends who couldn’t visit a salon of late.
