Everyone has a love of beauty, not to mention the love of beauty is the nature of every woman. So in ancient times, as a beautiful woman, how could she allow herself to have leg hair, so they would try their best to get rid of it.

When a woman secretes too much androgen, her body hair will flourish, so many women will take some measures to remove leg hair in order to please their husbands. In ancient China, the most common way was to pull a face, that is, to open a face. It refers to using a cotton thread on the morning of the wedding, and then tightening both ends to remove the fluff on the face. So ancient women also used this method to remove leg hair, which can be removed by scraping cotton thread up and down on their legs, but this method is very painful.

The ancient Egyptians thought that the most perfect human body shape was that there was no body hair at all, so ancient Egyptian women would shave their hair clean, and the leg hair would definitely not be let go. Therefore, they use tweezers made of shells, pumice or wax made of sugar and honey to remove hair. I think what they make should be similar to beeswax, then apply it to the hairy place, dry it and pull it off directly, and pull off the hair by the way.

And in the Roman Empire, they also believed that the less hair, the higher the status. Therefore, they will shave off the excess hair with a razor made of gravel. However, due to backward technology, the razor made is not very sharp, so it will scratch the skin when shaving legs.
