Depilation

Depilation means hair removal.  Strictly, "pilus" is Latin for hair and putting the "de" in front of it, in medical terminology, means to deprive or be rid of.  Putting "ation" at the end of the word, in English, makes it into an action.

Why would we want to remove hair?

Many cultures in the world have different attitudes to hair.

Most cultures not only tolerate hair on the head, but make it into a feature.  Different haircuts, styles and colours are used to attract members of the opposite sex and denote social status and wealth.  In some cultures, or in some societies, haircuts can also show allegiance to different sects, groups or gangs.
