It seems like there are countless ways to hide hair, bleach hair, burn hair, rip hair out, cut hair, and more but only one type of hair removal destroys the germ cells in the follicle causing the hair production (Electrolysis).
Here is a link to the FDA's site discussing hair removal options:

ONLY TWEEZE THE HAIRS YOU WANT TO KEEP! When hairs are plucked it causes a rush of blood and healing nutrients to the area this leads to deeper growing hair roots. This is the same as with waxing, but with waxing even light hairs are removed. This leads to a darkening of "peach fuzz" like hairs as well as the troublesome hairs, exacerbating the problem.
