All Types of Hair Removal Products Tested

Even though some now reject hair removal as a symbol of external control, from the neck down most women – and men too – still prefer a hair-free body. However, this beauty ideal also requires some effort.

Even the Egyptians had rituals to remove unwanted hair and achieve smooth skin. But which method is the best today? We’ve tested the most common hair removal products for you: 

Shaving 

Shaving is the simplest and most popular method of hair removal. While men often use electric trimmers and razors, women typically shave their legs, underarms, and other areas with a standard razor and shaving gel in the shower. 

Product tip: Foamie Solid Shaving Foam is great for daily use. It nourishes the skin with aloe vera, bisabolol, and avocado oil, helping to protect it from razor burn.

Waxing: Warm or Cold?

With waxing, the hair is always pulled directly from the root, which can be painful, especially the first time, but it ensures results that last two to four weeks.

Cold wax strips from andmetics

When you buy wax for hair removal, it usually comes in the form of cold wax strips. You can also purchase these hair removal products from the andmetics brand at BellAffair. Depending on the area where the hair is being removed, there are cold wax strips in various shapes:

Kaltwachsstreigen für die Beine
Kaltwachsstreifen für die Bikinizone

The strips are applied like plasters to the hairy areas and smoothed down. After a bit of courage, the cold wax strips are pulled off with a strong, quick motion.

Warm Wax from Fleeky and Xanitalia

As the counterpart to cold wax, there is also warm wax. The wax is heated before application — the warmth helps open the pores and makes hair removal less painful. In this category, BellAffair offers at-home warm wax kits from Fleeky and Xanitalia.

Fleeky hair removal can be done with the Wax Kit Heater or the Wax Kit Roller. The roller is preferred by many because it allows for more precise application. Pimples, razor burn, and ingrown hairs don’t stand a chance with Fleeky’s hair removal products.

Xanitalia also offers wax heaters in two different formats: wax cartridges and pot heaters. Additionally, they provide warm wax following the Brazilian system.

Sugaring

In principle, sugaring works the same way as waxing — the only difference is that instead of wax, a sugar paste is used. This helps remove hair more thoroughly and gently. Moreover, this method of hair removal is natural and therefore suitable even for very sensitive skin.

Product tip: Andmetics Honey Cold Wax isn’t made with sugar but is enriched with honey. This means you can also buy a high-quality hair removal product from Andmetics in the sugaring category — one that certainly won’t disappoint you.

Can you buy other hair removal products?

Of course, the different options for hair removal don’t end there. In addition to shaving, waxing, and sugaring, you can buy and use other hair removal products at home:

  • Depilatory cream chemically breaks down the keratin structure of the hairs, which is painless but can cause irritation or redness on sensitive skin.
  • Epilating is a long-lasting method, though not ideal for the faint-hearted. Here, you don’t need to keep buying hair removal products — you simply invest once in an epilator, which can be reused. This also makes it an eco-friendly option.
  • Laser hair removal is also considered a permanent solution. It is nearly painless, though reliable IPL laser devices can be expensive.

Hair removal for men

Among men, the trend is also clearly toward a completely hair-free body. Those who want to remove unwanted hair should also buy hair removal products. One advantage is that most already have various shaving products at home for beard care.

A common issue for men with strong hair growth is hair in the ears or nose. Bushy eyebrows — which in the worst cases turn into a unibrow — are also anything but attractive. Andmetics offers the solution: specialized wax for men’s eyebrows and ears, as well as a Nose & Ear Wax Kit for Men.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is the Best Hair Removal Method?

Proven methods include shaving, waxing, and sugaring. However, many people also use depilatory creams, laser devices, and epilators for hair removal.

What Is the Best Hair Removal Method for the Intimate Area?

In principle, you can buy and use any type of hair removal product for the intimate area. However, since this is a particularly sensitive part of the body, you should be aware of the following risks:

  • When shaving, you can cut yourself, and the skin may react with irritation.
  • Epilating, waxing, and sugaring can be even more painful in the intimate area.
  • Depilatory creams must not come into contact with sensitive mucous membranes, as the chemicals they contain can cause skin irritation.

Do Hairs Grow Back Thicker After Removal? 

No, although it may seem that hair grows back thicker after shaving, this is not actually the case. The hair is simply thicker at the base and becomes finer toward the tip.
