If you’re interested in dealing with them once and for all, there are treatments (I think they use lasers) that will kill the hair follicles and prevent them from growing hair anymore.
My mom had it done on her legs and she hasn’t had to shave since, not sure how expensive it is but it might be worth looking.
For the person you’re replying to, lighter hair (such as blonde, gray, or some form of dirty blonde) generally doesn’t work with laser. To deal with those hairs, the option is electrolysis which is slow, painful, and more expensive than laser especially for large areas but also a very high hair kill rate.
Laser can work if your hair is dark enough, otherwise you’d need electrolysis. Depending on the needed method and amount of hair prices range from a few hundred to several thousand, possibly over many sessions
I had no idea, I don’t really think of my family as having dark hair - but our hair is brown. Why are blonde hair follicles unaffected by laser treatment?
Edit: it seems like it’s less to do with them being unaffected and more to do with how the targeting system for the lasers work? That seems like something that could be improved one day.

I always forget that different hair types (not really sure about the terminology) have completely different needs, thanks for the information.
