Wikipedia

  1. epilation

    Hair removal, also known as epilation or depilation, is the deliberate removal of body hair or head hair. Hair typically grows all over the human body and can vary in thickness and length across human populations. Hair becomes more visible during and after puberty and men tend to have thicker, more visible body hair than women. Both males and females have visible body hair on the head, eyebrows, eyelashes, armpits, genital area, arms, and legs. Males and some females may also have thicker hair growth on their face, abdomen, back, buttocks, anus, areola, chest, nostrils, and ear. Hair does not generally grow on the lips, the underside of the hands or feet, or on certain areas of the genitalia. Hair removal may be practiced for cultural, aesthetic, hygienic, sexual, medical, or religious reasons. Forms of hair removal have been practiced in almost all human cultures since at least the Neolithic era. The methods used to remove hair have varied in different times and regions. The word "depilation" comes from the Latin "pilus" which means "hair".

  1. epilation

    Epilation is the removal of hair from the root, typically through methods such as waxing, tweezing, or using a device designed for this purpose. This is different from depilation, which only removes the part of the hair above the skin's surface. Epilation usually results in hair taking longer to grow back compared to shaving or other surface treatments.

  1. EPilation

    EPilation is the first full-length release from Brisbane musician Tara Simmons. Although a full-length, EPilation contains no new material and is a compilation of Tara's first two EPs Pendulum and All The Amendments. The tracks were remastered and re-sequenced by her manager to flow better and to play like an album. It features the singles "Everybody Loves You" and Break The Rules For Me, both from the film All My Friends Are Leaving Brisbane as well as The Recycling Bin Song.
