Many girls, especially in America, have the same problem.
If there's not too much of it, do you really need to do anything? Most guys are OK about women with even a slight moustache.
If you do decide you have to do something, then there isn't a simple answer.
Facial and body hair on women comes about in the same way as on men because of
1) your body being sensitized, before you were even born, to testosterone -- doesn't happen to all girls, but does to many
2) your body producing high levels of testosterone
The growth rate and coarseness of the hair depends on just how much testosterone is circulating in your bloodstream.
Steer clear of bleaching -- when someone sees you against the light you'll look as if you have a glowing hairy halo.
As far as removing it is concerned it's worth remembering that
* Waxing, plucking, threading, epilating all pull the hair out by the roots and where the growth is hormonally-driven can actually stimulate a dormant follicle into producing more hair quicker. They also distort the root if done repeatedly, leading to hair growing at strange angles. And you've got to let the hair grow to quite a length before you can repeat the exercise. It can also damage the skin and discolor it. Long-term use of waxing also causes bad wrinkles.
* Chemical depilatories strong enough to remove the hair are very likely to burn the skin, cause swelling and cause long-term discoloration of the skin.
* Laser is also liable to cause burning and discoloration and in any case only works effectively on a dark hair/light skin combinantion.
* Electrolysis is very liable to cause scarring and discoloration of the skin.
Which, like it or not, leaves shaving which does not damage the skin. Best done with a men's-style electric razor, the best of which, for women, are probably those from the men's range of Norelco razors (Philishave outside the US). Most women who try a men's Norelco wonder why nobody ever told them about it before. But cut the hair right down to not more than 1/16" before using a Norelco on it -- Norelcos are useless on long hair.

welllllllllllll
so you ve heard. welcome to the wonderful world of hair removal.
you can 1. shave 2. wax 3. laser 4. diplatory cream 5. pluck 6. thread 7. eplipse intense pulsed light ..... etc and you get it....i would recommend the laser hair removal because it is the most effective in the long term. for both arms and legs this would work, but the downside is that its a bit expensive....Bikini---$350 to $500
Lower Legs---$600 to $850
Upper Legs---$600 to $850
Arms---$350 to $500
Under Arms---$250 to $350
Face & Neck---$600 to $900
Also, most people, on average, require at least three sessions to get results and usuall not any more than six.
so those are some of the average costs for the treatment....i dunno what your budget is, but at least for me, thats wayyy out of my $$ range i would say that for the time being, unless you ve got money out the wazooo, that you go with waxing or diplatory, as those have the most longterm effects other than laser. they re not nearly as expensive as laser
hope that helped, xoxo, caitlyn

electrolocys is the only way to permanently remove the hair, but it is really expensive, unfortunately. But you could try waxing. The hair will still grow back, but not right away like it does with just shaving.

Laser hair removal will get rid of the hair forever, but it takes a few sessions and can be quite expensive.

Electrolysis and laser hair removal are “permanent” hair removal methods but are expensive and you have to find a trained professional, otherwise your skin could be damaged.

You can't..
But waxing removes the hair for a longer period of time compared to just shaving.
It's most probably the best option.

perhaps your estrogen is running low. Other than that, it sounds like its electrolysis time.
