* Bleaching: If the thickness of the hair is very light, then bleach the area with the bleach that has hydrogen peroxide. Women with darker skin, should avoid bleaching the area as it makes the hair more visible than before.

Before using tweezers, apply cold cream to soften the roots of the hair. This temporary method is easy however this will not prove to end the misery forever.
