We all hate unwanted hair, be it men or women. Underarm hair, facial hair, hair on other parts of the body, they make us self-conscious.


In medical terms, unwanted hair growth is known as hirsutism. If you want to get rid of some of your unwanted hair without opting for bleaching, waxing, or shaving routine; try these natural and super easy ways to get rid of that unwanted hair today!

Here’s a list of them below:

1. Turmeric

Take equal portions of turmeric powder and gram flour. Add a few drops of sesame oil or castor oil to it. Mix all the ingredients together to form a thick paste. Apply this paste on the hairy areas of your body and gently scrub the skin. Rinse it off after 30 minutes with cold water.

2. Spearmint tea

Add a tsp of dried spearmint to a glass of boiling water. Cover and let it steep for 10 minutes. Strain it and drink the tea twice daily for immediate results.

3. Raw papaya

Peel a papaya and blend until it turns into a fine paste. Mix half a tsp of turmeric powder to it. Apply this paste on your face and massage the skin for about 5-10 minutes. Rinse it off with clear water. Doing this once a week will help in removing unwanted hair.

4. Onion juice

Onion juice helps in removing unwanted hair from the body when applied with basil leaves.

5. Oatmeal

Mash one banana with 2 tbsps of oatmeal and apply this paste to the area where you want to remove hair. Massage in a circular motion for about 10 minutes. Let it sit for a while and then rinse it off with warm water. Repeat this twice a week.

6. Gram flour

Mix in a little milk or water with a tbsp of gram flour and 1/4 tsp of turmeric powder to form a thick paste. Apply the paste on areas with unwanted hair and gently massage. Wait for it to dry and scrub off the paste against the direction of hair growth.

7. Fenugreek seeds

Fenugreek seed is yet another effective home remedy that can help you get rid of your unwanted hair. Grind fenugreek seeds into powder and mix it with rose water. Apply it to your face twice a day to get rid of unwanted facial hair effectively.

8. Egg whites

 Add a tbsp of sugar and half a tbsp of corn flour to an egg white in a bowl, and mix well. Apply the mixture on the hairy part of your body. Let it dry for 15 to 20 minutes, then wash it off with running water. Repeat the process twice a week.

9. Sugar and honey

In a microwave, heat 4 tbsps of sugar with 2 tbsps of honey in a bowl for a few seconds until the sugar melts. Once done, remove it from the microwave. Now add a tbsp of lemon juice in the mixture and mix thoroughly. Apply this warm mixture on the exposed parts where you have unwanted hair.
Using a waxing strip, press it on the applied mixture and pull off the strip against the opposite direction of the hair growth. Wash the area with running water, pat your skin dry and apply a moisturizer.
