Unwanted hair growth in girls is known as Hirsutism and is caused by an increased presence of androgen (male hormones). If the growth of dark or coarse hair in unwanted areas such as the upper lip, chin, chest, abdomen, etc. in a girl is more compared to the family members, getting a doctor’s opinion might be a good idea. If excess hair is hereditary (as it is in many cases), people can either opt for permanent hair removal solutions or use home remedies to get rid of unwanted hair.
We have listed some hair removal methods you can follow at home to remove the unwanted hair on your body.
