A wax mixture is spread thinly over the skin with a spatula. A cloth or paper strip is then applied firmly to the wax, and ripped off in a single fast movement against the direction of the hair growth.  This results in the wax being removed along with the hair and dead skin cells that leaves the skin feeling smooth. 

Depilatory Creams – If you're in a hurry to remove unwanted hair, depilatory creams can be useful. They are quick and easy to apply and relatively effective.  However, hair is not removed from the root and re-growth tends to be stubbly and unsightly. Another major disadvantage is that the cream contains chemicals that burn off the hair, which can cause skin irritation. Those with sensitive skin should take great care when experimenting with this approach to hair removal.

Shaving – Like depilatory creams is also a quick way to remove unwanted hair.  It is in fact the most popular method for removing bodily hair. But shaving has its drawbacks.  Cutting oneself is the major issue, followed by irritated and spotty skin, and then quick stubbly re-growth.
