I understand that hair removal in general creates consumption and the most minimal thing to do is just let it grow. However, for me at least, there was a factor of physical comfort. For decades I used electric shavers, razors, epilators, wax, gadgets that didn't work as advertised, all the necessary related toiletries, and everything eventually ends up in the land fill. I finally broke down and spent the price of a small car to get full-body hair laser removal and I've been able to ditch all of that stuff! I am not 100% hair free, since grey hair cannot be killed with a laser, but I can happily let that crop grow without discomfort. The amount of plastic products I no longer have to purchase or house🤌.

This may not be as big a hack as it feels to me as it is expensive, painful, maybe uses a lot of energy (no idea how much power a laser machine or the clinic uses). It's also not plastic free as there are little plastic shields that go on the laser tip that wear out over time and have to get tossed.
