According to The List's survey, the most popular method of hair removal is shaving. Unsurprisingly, shaving received 72.33% of the vote, a widely popular way for people to easily remove their hair from the comfort of their bathroom. Shaving is so common that companies have created razor subscription services that provide you with fresh razors each month; if you have been using the same old rusted three-blade razor for months because you keep forgetting to grab a new one at the store, we highly suggest trying it out.
In second place with 13.17% is waxing. This hair removal method takes more time and setup, but the results last longer than shaving and can help avoid razor burns. The American Academy of Dermatology warns of the many precautions you should take before doing an at-home wax, and highly suggests visiting a professional for bikini waxes.
Laser hair removal and depilatory creams like Nair tied with 5.5% of the vote. Laser is a longer and more expensive method than applying topical hair removal creams, but the results are seriously long lasting. Threading (2.33%) and sugaring (1.17%) are two more alternative hair removal methods that are less popular, but a great alternative to traditional razors.
If you're suffering from constant ingrown hairs or razor burn, you may be using the wrong method of hair removal. Consider checking out these shaving mistakes you never knew you were making.
