			=== Preventing razor bumps when shaving ===
			[[File:Prevent razor bumps.png\|thumb]]
			Razor bumps aka pseudofolliculitis barbae are hairs becoming ingrown after mechanical shaving. When you shave you get rid of some stratum corneum layer, and you cut the hair strand right at this level or below it. when too much pressure is applied it pushes the strand below the topmost skin layer the tip can get stuck and curve into the skin causing papules, pustules, inflammation and hyperpigmentation.

			Stretching the skin before shaving, shaving against the grain or use of blunt blades may also increase the chance of transfollicular penetration. Dry shaving (no prior moisturization of the hair) with razors usually produces sharp beveled tips encouraging extra-follicular penetration. The use of pre-shave care with warm water or other pre-shave care regimes, improves hydration of the hair shaft causing it to swell, thus ending up with blunt edges after shaving<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6585396/</ref>

There are different ways of removing hair which vary which how effective they are and where it is recommended to use them.

Body hair, or vellus hair, is typically softer and finer than facial hair. However, some areas, like the underarms or pubic region, have coarser terminal hair.

Facial hair (beard, mustache) in individuals who have gone through male puberty is usually thicker and coarser. Scalp hair is also a form of terminal hair and is dense and thick.

=== Comparison of hair removal types ===
The permanence of hair removal depends on the method and how it affects the follicle and the type of hair.
