    Not entirely, but waxing will make the hair grow back thinner than it currently is. When you wax, you tear the hair out at the root, which damages your follicles. This can keep the hair from coming back super thick.

    You can, but I don't think it's actually going to come out perfectly. I'd recommend going to see a professional for this.

    It's not necessarily bad, but it isn't the most efficient way to remove stomach hair. I think waxing is probably the best option for this.

  • Question
    Do guys not like hair on a girl's stomach and butt?
    Community Answer
    Generally, men don't find thick or visible hair on a woman anywhere but the head and the pubic region attractive, but you don't have to get rid of it if you don't want to. It's a matter of personal preference, and you can find yourself a man who doesn't mind it.
  • Question
    What if the hair grows back? Do I keep shaving or waxing?
    Community Answer
    Only if you want to. Unless you get laser hair removal, it will keep growing back, like leg hair or armpit hair.
  • Question
    Would the hair removal cream have a different reaction with my belly skin?
    Community Answer
    No, it should react the same way as the rest of your skin. The main thing is to keep the cream away from any mucus membranes (eyes, mouth, labia, etc.).
  • Question

    A razor should give you a closer cut. I suggest using a very sharp razor for the closest cut possible.
  • Question
    How can I remove hair permanently?
    Community Answer
    Laser removal is the only way to truly remove hair permanently. Waxing or plucking will last a few weeks.
  • Question
    Can I use conditioner to shave?
    Community Answer
    Yes. Conditioner can be very useful when shaving as it is smooth and doesn't make the hair clumpy.
  • Question
    Is it true that when you shave it grows back twice a thick and longer?
    Community Answer
    No. It may seem thicker as it grows in, though, because the hair grows in from the thick base where you shaved it.
  • Question
    Is it true that if I shave my stomach, the hair will grow back twice as thick?
    Community Answer
    There's no evidence of that. However, shaving only lasts a day or two until there is noticeable stubble. The hair follicles sometimes appear more pronounced due to continuous irritation. This makes it quite obvious you have shaved.
  • Question
    How long would it take for the home remedies to permanently remove the hair? Also, when would I start seeing results?
    Community Answer
    Laser hair removal is the only permanent way to remove hair, so the home remedies wouldn’t remove it permanently. With these home remedies, you may start to see results right away, depending on the thickness and color of the hair.

    The bleach will last until the hair grows out or is cut.
  • Question
    Could I use a facial removal cream?

    My mom told me I'm not allowed to shave my stomach, but I find it so embarrassing! What can I do? She said it isn't noticeable but I beg to differ!
    Community Answer
    If she thinks it isn’t noticeable, you could shave it anyway and if she happens to notice, just stare at her pointedly and say, “I thought you could barely see it.”

    If my kid has a lot of hair on her belly and I don't want her to be embarrassed I front of her friends what should I do for her ?

    Teach your kid that body hair is nothing to be ashamed of and support her through any negative interactions she has because of it. Let it be her choice and her choice alone what to do about her hair.
