The same is true for men´s ears (although the opposite occurs with the top of the head, of course).
One of the options many people choose for facial hair removal is to shave, but the resulting stubble for women is not very attractive. If the hair is dark it can leave a highly visible sign even immediately after shaving.
There are also depilatory creams to remove hair, but as these are chemicals there is a risk of rashes; also depilatory creams tend to be a bit smelly.
