Removing body hair is very popular in today’s society. While there’s no quick-fix solution to stopping hair growth altogether, 5-Minute Crafts suggests these methods to help reduce hair growth and leave the skin feeling smoother too.

1. Sugaring paste

Things you’ll need:

• A bowl
• Sugar

Steps:

1. Pour some sugar in a bowl.
2. Add water to it.
3. Now squeeze a lemon into the mixture.
4. Boil the mixture for 5-7 minutes.

5. Add the sugaring paste to another bowl to cool it down.
6. Mix the paste well with a wooden popsicle stick.
7. Apply the wax to your skin in the opposite direction of your hair (bottom to top).
8. Peel away the wax (top to bottom).

2. Hair conditioner

Things you’ll need:

• Hair conditioner
• A razor

Steps:

1. Apply hair conditioner to your skin.
2. Spread it evenly on the skin’s surface.
3. With the help of a razor, shave the hair in the opposite direction of your hair growth.
4. Your skin should now be super smooth and hair-free.

3. Threading

Things you’ll need:

• Sewing thread
• A pair of scissors

Steps:

1. Cut a piece of thread that should be the length of your forearm plus about 3 extra inches. The shorter the thread, the more control you have.
2. Bring the ends of the thread together.
3. Tie them firmly to create a loop.
4. Cut away any extra thread that’s not part of the loop.

5. Twist the thread loop in the middle by putting your hands on both sides of the loop and your palms up, rotating your hands a few times to create an intertwined thread in the middle.
6. To test the thread, hold it with your index and thumb on both sides and increase the gap between the right index and thumb with the twisted threads moving to the left. Repeat the step for the left side.

• This is the threading motion that will remove your hair from your upper lip.

7. Now start threading in the opposite direction of your hair growth.

• Try not to move around a lot while threading as to avoid cuts.

8. Your upper lip is now hair-free.
