Salt, in the form of sodium chloride, can contribute to hair loss by drying the scalp and potentially damaging hair follicles. This information is found in various sources, such as the article stating, "Salt, which is chemically referred to as sodium chloride can kill the hair follicles by drying your scalp resulting in hair loss." However, this effect is primarily related to hair on the scalp, not necessarily body hair.
While salt may have some drying effect on the skin, there's no scientific evidence to suggest that it directly removes or inhibits hair growth on other body parts.
Several home remedies mention using salt in hair removal mixtures, often combined with turmeric and milk. However, the effectiveness of these remedies is not scientifically proven, and the primary effect of salt in these mixtures is likely to be exfoliation, which doesn't directly remove hair.
For effective hair removal, consider other methods such as shaving, waxing, epilating, laser hair removal, or depilatory creams.
