Unwanted hair can lead to embarrassing situations. Hard as you may try to hide it, there are instances when unwanted hair growth is bound to show. Unwanted hair may arise due to certain medications, average hair growth, and post-pregnancy hormonal changes. Here are some of the best DIY solutions for hair removal.

Use turmeric and baking soda to remove hair
Unlike the various chemical methods that might harm your skin and are expensive, here is an inexpensive and natural way to remove hair. Take one part of turmeric and mix it with two parts of baking soda. Add enough water to maintain consistency. Apply this thin paste on the area that needs hair removal. After the mixture has dried, use a dry washcloth, or simply use your hand to remove the paste. You can remove the rest of the mixture with water.

Pumice stone
Pumice stone has a rough texture because it is one of the best DIY solutions for hair removal. All you have to do is rub a dry stone on your dry skin in circular motions. The stone would effortlessly make hair cling to its pores. The hair will be easily removed while you continue the circular motion. Since this stone has an exfoliating effect and may leave your skin dry, it is recommended that you apply moisturizer after its use.

Lemon and orange peel mask
Orange and lemon peel can be great products for the removal of hair, especially facial hair. Not only are these elements fragrant, but they also help clean your skin inside out. You can create a simple mask made of one teaspoon each of lemon peel, orange peel, almond meal, olive oil, rose water, and oatmeal. Apart from removing hair, all these elements would also bleach it and leave your skin fresh and fragrant.

Sugar wax
You can apply a sugar wax to remove hair using a simple craft stick. After applying the sugar wax on unwanted hair, apply it in the same direction where the hair is growing. Next, press a strip of fabric onto the sugar wax firmly. After a few seconds, quickly pull this strip while holding your skin taut in the opposite direction where the hair growth has taken place. You can clean the rest of the wax with the help of warm water.

Even though the above methods are natural and mostly harmless, you should not refrain from consulting a skin specialist in case of irritation. Sometimes, your skin may be sensitive to natural ingredients as well.
