In Islam, personal hygiene is emphasized for both men and women, and this includes the removal of certain body hair as part of maintaining cleanliness and ritual purity. Muslim women typically engage in hair removal practices similar to women of other cultures, using tools like razors, waxing, or depilatory creams, depending on personal preference and comfort.
Islamic Guidelines on Hair Removal for Women
Islamic teachings recommend the removal of specific body hair for hygiene purposes:
Pubic and Armpit Hair: It is considered Sunnah (commendable practice) to remove pubic and armpit hair regularly, ideally not exceeding forty days between removals. This practice is rooted in the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and is aimed at maintaining cleanliness.

Use of Razors: There is no prohibition against women using razors or metal blades for hair removal. The method of hair removal is a matter of personal choice, and using razors is considered permissible.
Other Body Hair: Removing hair from the arms, legs, and face (excluding the eyebrows) is generally permissible. However, plucking or shaping the eyebrows is discouraged and considered impermissible in many Islamic teachings.
Head Hair: Shaving the head is generally prohibited for women unless there is a valid reason, such as medical necessity.
Cultural Practices and Personal Choice
While Islamic guidelines provide a framework for personal hygiene, cultural practices and personal preferences play a significant role in how Muslim women approach hair removal. Some may choose to follow traditional methods passed down through generations, while others may adopt modern techniques available today. The key is that the practices align with Islamic principles of cleanliness and modesty.
Emphasis on Modesty and Privacy
It's important to note that Islam places a strong emphasis on modesty and privacy. Therefore, hair removal is typically performed in private settings, and women are advised to avoid exposing their 'awrah (intimate parts) to others, including in salon settings, unless necessary.
