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.
