Unwanted Hair

Hey guys :wave:

I have been shaving for years. I have tried home waxing (never works for me) and a epilator (too painful and noisy!). Any other ideas? Shaving is ok but my bikini grows back so quickly and is prickly for a couple pf days before it will shave properly...plus the shaving rash!

Cannot afford to go to a salon :(

Any suggestions?

    Man up and use the epilator. I gets less painful the more you use it.

    After you've laid the foundations it easy enough. I have a mate that maintains a landing strip with this method.

    Thanks for all the replies :)

    Has anyone tried 'No! No!' classic hair removal device or IPL hair removal?

    By the way - regular drinking of mint tea slows down the grows of unwanted hair...you may google it:)

    Maybe you are not using the right kind of wax, for you, if it isn't working. I can only use sugar wax on my light and delicate eyebrows. For the nether regions, it is all about the hardcore salon wax that requires pain thinner to remove the excess.

    How much is laser?

    Also my hair is the same and I'm still looking for a better solution.. hmm.. I've seen wax cost like 9 dollars on an indian site I forgot the site btw. That's both hot wax and cold wax. Surely 9 dollars isn't that much in pounds.

    You don't need to buy wax on an Indian site, many UK sites will do it.

    :yes: You should be able to buy some where ever they sell beauty/hair products. The only UK shop I know off hand is Boots, and they appear to have many!
