epilation
Pulling hair out
Epilation is the removal of hair from the body, including the root.
Unlike shaving, which cuts hair at the skin's surface, epilation pulls hair out completely, resulting in longer-lasting smoothness.
Common methods include waxing, tweezing, threading, and using electronic devices called epilators.
She preferred epilation to shaving because the results lasted weeks instead of days.
