Some women prefer their pubic hair to be clean and well-groomed; others like a natural look. There is no right or wrong way to trim a bush, just as there is no right or wrong way to trim your nails.

You can do either of these two things, no matter how you choose to trim your pubic hair. It's your body and your choice as to how you want it to look and feel.

Removing hair from such a delicate spot can be daunting—until you find out how to do it. The good news is that there are several ways to remove public hair, depending on your preferences. Here's an overview of what you need to know about hair removal techniques for public areas.

1.     At-Home Hair Removal Option

There are various ways to remove pubic hair at home. Each of these methods has some risks, but most are safe. You could try:

Trimming with scissors

Using scissors for a haircut is relatively safe because the scissors do not make contact with the skin, and therefore do not cause an injury. However, be sure that your scissors are clean and sharp, to avoid tugging on hair strands as you cut.

To reduce the risk of injury, sit down while grooming. Good lighting is also important, and a handheld mirror can help with trimming hard-to-see areas. Regular trimming keeps the hair looking well-groomed.

Shaving

Shaving one's pubic hair is like trimming a hedge in the backyard—it is generally painless and simple to do, but because the razor makes direct contact with the skin to remove the hair at its base, it can cause temporary irritation, redness, or itchiness.

To reduce the risk of razor burn, try:

• Use shaving cream or lotion
• Take a shower before shaving
• use sharp razor

Also, take your time shaving your pubic area. It's thin and easily injured.

Waxing

Waxing is the most painful and itchy of all body hair removals. It pulls hairs from their follicles, causing pain and irritation. It can also cause infection, especially in the sensitive skin of the pubic region.

Waxing can be more painful than trimming or shaving, but it lasts longer and leaves a smoother surface. You can also get a wax professionally done.

Using hair removal creams

Hair removal creams, also called depilatories, contain chemicals that break down hair proteins. If a person uses enough of these creams on their face and body, they can wipe away unwanted hair as they wipe away the cream from their face or body.

Hair removal creams are available over the counter. While waxing might hurt a little, hair removal creams generally do not.

While this is an effective antidote for some people, it can cause allergic reactions in others. Before applying the product extensively, test it on a small area of skin on the arm or leg. If a reaction develops, do not use the product.

Tweezing

Tweezing is a relatively painless way to remove hair. Unlike waxing, tweezing involves removing one hair at a time, which means you don't have to deal with the pain of several thin strips of skin being pulled off at once.

Tweezing can be a fast and effective way to remove hair from small patches of skin, but it is an inefficient way to remove hair in larger areas.

2.   Professional hair removal Option

Some people prefer going to a professional to remove public hair as they offer various methods, including:

Waxing

Professional waxing produces similar results to at-home waxing. However, a professional may be less likely to miss areas that a person may miss when using the technique at home.

Electrolysis

Electrolysis is the process of destroying hair follicles with radio waves. This causes hair to fall out, disrupting your hair growth and causing you to look like a member of the cast of "SpongeBob SquarePants."

Electrolysis targets one follicle at a time. The process can take fifteen to sixty minutes, and multiple visits are necessary.

Laser hair removal

Laser hair removal is a method of removing hair from the body by destroying the follicle and surrounding tissue. A person will need to attend follow-up sessions every six to eight weeks to prevent the hair from regrowing or for people who want to make sure that all their unwanted hair has been removed. There is no guarantee that laser removal will get rid of all the hair, but it does have the potential to be very effective in certain situations.

Risks

Hair removal can be as risky as it is satisfying. The safest method is trimming the hair with scissors if they do not come into contact with the skin. Shaving hair or using a method that removes it from its follicle could result in:

• redness or irritation
• small breaks or cuts in the skin
• inflamed hair follicles
• ingrown hairs.

Using any topical product can result in a skin reaction, such as swelling, hives, redness, and irritation.

Safety guidelines

You can take several safety measures to reduce the risks of pubic hair removal:

• When shaving, use sharp razors and clean scissors.
• Good lighting and a mirror can prevent many injuries.
• Patch-testing: First, apply the product to your skin. Then, check for any reaction.
• After removing pubic hair, it's important to keep the area clean and check for signs of irritation or infection.
• A licensed skin care professional is the best bet when consulting with a professional.

Summary

Some people prefer to trim or remove their pubic hair at home, while others use professional services. The various safety strategies used by each group include:

• taking precautions such as keeping your scissors and clippers clean and sharp;
• choosing a clean and uncluttered environment;
• wearing clean, comfortable clothing;
• knowing how to use the tools safely;
• following all instructions given by the professionals qualified to perform the job;
• avoiding using any product that is not specifically recommended for use in the area being touched or cleaned.

If a minor rash or itching develops, don't try to treat it with over-the-counter creams and ointments. Go see your doctor to get relief and advice about how to remove public hair.
