I have pcos you want to know how you get rid of the unwanted hair?

Hirsutism: The approach to hirsutism in pcos is aimed at the cause of pcos rather than its manifestation. Weight loss should be pursued. This will help decrease your testosterone level. Also, birth control pills will raise your female organ concentrations that may help as well. Spironolactone is known to counteract testosterone and is used in this case.
