Body hair is a concern for many, although it is very normal. Since several people prefer getting rid of their body hair for different reasons, various types of methods are available to do so. For those who prefer doing this task themselves, DIY options are ideal. Here is taking a look at some of the best DIY hair removal techniques you can choose from.

1. Raw Papaya with Turmeric
Turmeric has antioxidant properties that help fight bacteria and papaya is rich in papain, an enzyme that decreases hair growth. Both of these together help remove hair and keep your skin safe. Just take one raw papaya and make it into a paste. Add one or two tablespoons of turmeric powder to it and then apply the mixture where you need to get rid of the hair. Let it stay for approximately 20 minutes before rinsing off. Repeat once or twice a week for at least two or three months to see visible results.

2. Cornflour with Milk
This is one of the best DIY hair removal techniques for people with soft hair. You just need to make a paste by mixing half a cup of cornflour with a small cup of milk. Apply it to the area with the unwanted hair, leaving it on until the paste is completely dry, and then peel it off and pat the area dry. When this mix is applied, it swiftly sticks to your hair follicles and comes out when the mask is pulled off.

3. Oatmeal and Banana
You can make a hair-removal scrub by adding two tablespoons of oatmeal to one mashed banana. Apply this paste to the required area in the opposite direction of hair growth. After letting this mixture settle for 20 minutes until it is completely dry, wash the area and pat dry. The oatmeal works as the scrubber and the banana softens the skin. This method is also suitable to reduce future hair growth.

4. Baking Soda and Turmeric
Baking soda is a gentle scrubber and turmeric is rich in antioxidants. A mixture of these two is ideal to reduce hair growth. Just take a tablespoon of baking soda and turmeric, add some water to it, and make a paste. Gently massage this mix onto the area with the unwanted hair and leave it for approximately 20 minutes. Then rinse it off with lukewarm water, patting the area dry.

5. Chickpea Flour Scrub
This is one of the oldest and best DIY hair removal techniques. Mix half a cup of chickpea flour with olive oil, lavender, or any other carrier oil of your choice. Add some curd to this mix and apply the resulting paste to the required area. Like most other DIY methods, leave this paste on for around 20 minutes. Once the paste is dry, massage your skin and gently rinse away the paste.
