Turmeric as an ingredient has been in use since the Vedic times. Using turmeric and salt in combination helps to slow down hair growth and encourages hair to fall out.
Application: Blend together a tablespoon of turmeric powder with a tablespoon of milk or water. Mixing a tablespoon of gram flour or all purpose flour also helps in thickening the paste and giving a mask like consistency. Apply this pack and allow it dry for approximately 20 mins. Wash off with lukewarm water gently. If you follow this regimen for 4 - 5 weeks, you’ll hardly notice any growth of new hair.
Banana can be used to remove unwanted hair when mixed with a scrubbing ingredient like oats.
Application: Mash a ripe banana into a paste. Add two teaspoons of oats to this and apply this scrub. Allow it to rest for 20 mins and then wash it off.
Adhesive properties of honey help in removing thin hair from the face and adding lemon to it works as a peeling agent.
Application: take four tablespoons of honey and one tablespoon of lemon juice, mix thoroughly and apply this paste on your face (upper lip area). Let it rest for approximately 20 minutes and then wipe it with a wet tissue or wash it off.
Sugar, when used to treat facial hair, is known to have long-term effects.
Application: Mix together fresh juice made out of a lemon and add a half tablespoon of sugar and water to it. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves completely and forms a paste. Spread this paste gently and evenly above the lips and let it dry for 20 mins or more after which it can be washed off with water.
Sugar when dissolved and caramelised gives a wax-like consistency making it one of the best home remedies for removal of hair naturally.
Application: Add a cup of water in a pan along with a chamomile tea bag and bring this to a boil. Add a tablespoon of sugar and a tablespoon of lemon juice. Stir continuously and allow it to boil for a couple of minutes. Let the mixture cool down, your home-made wax is ready.
