Psst: This Hair-Removal Tool Is More Effective Than a Razor

It can really be a "choose your own adventure" situation when it comes to the hair-removal process, and there definitely isn't a lack of options. You could try waxing and

There is, however, one under-the-radar hair-removal method that doesn't get talked about often but is still pretty effective, and that's using an epilator. The device has several tweezers attached to a rotating head, and you pass the device repeatedly over the area, as you would an electric razor. They come in different sizes and have different numbers of tweezers on the head. "Like conventional tweezers, epilators remove the hair directly from the root. This differs from shaving, which does not remove the root. Using an epilator means hair takes longer to regrow," explains board-certified dermatologist Ife Rodney, MD, FAAD, of Eternal Dermatology and Aesthetics.
