Some are painful, some are messy, and all are only temporary except electrolysis. However, there are other issues associated with electrolysis. SHAVING- Shaving is the most common method of hair removal. Virtually everyone owns a razor, but shaving only lasts a few days and requires a constant commitment to maintain a hair-free appearance.

Pulling is when two or more people pull against each other in opposing directions with the rope(s) through hooks in their flesh, usually the back. Note that solo pulling is also possible, with one end of the rope attached to a solid object.
