In friction hair removal method a rough surface is used to buff away hair at the skin’s surface. It is a less common method of removing hair because it has limited effectiveness. It is mostly used to remove hair from legs and hands.
However, specific friction products are available for areas such as the face and bikini area as well. Lots of people like to use friction as an upkeep method between waxing sessions. You can use anything from a pumice stone to a specifically designed hair removal mit in this method.
Friction is fairly cheap in compare to other hair removal methods. However it is short-term, if you use friction you’ll probably see some hair regrowth by the next day. But it does not cause stubble like shaving, as the hair is rubbed away rather than sliced, so no sharp edge is formed on the hair.
It is mostly painless if done correctly. Do not use on face, arms, or bikini area. Do not use on irritated or damaged skin.

I found a friction product that’s really good. It does take more time than shaving, but my legs are much softer after using it than with a razor. Just an FYI – all friction products are not the same. I found Smooth Away to be very effective and far less abrasive than other mitt and pad products I tried. I still use my razor on occassion, but prefer the friction removal because the hair isn’t as coarse when it grows back.
