Do you pluck them? Or do you cut or wax them off?
As a woman, how long would you let one grow before plucking it?
As a man, do you have a hairy chest and/or shoulders? Do you already manscape?
I shave normally but i hate shaving hate that stubble feeling so i need an hair removal method that has longer lasting results i tried waxing strips but it was too sticky so i need an epilator which model would you suggest to me for thick hair
Hi guys, I looked at a bunch of threads but I’m still on the fence, hoping for some input!
I had laser for my legs and face like a decade ago, it was the most miserable experience ever but I never regretted the results. My pain threshold is probably not great. I would take ibuprofen ahead of time, even smoke weed, it didn’t matter and was always incredibly painful especially for upper/inner thigh and below buttock.
I’ve just finished off a package and follow up maintenance sessions for face, and that pain level was basically nothing, as it was the first time around. I did happy trail on a promotion and the results were great but it definitely hurt. I’ve noticed regrowth at my knee and above being much faster than it used to be and want to do maintenance, but I don’t know if I’m better off doing at home IPL or just doing laser again.
If I do laser, I would likely do a package including bikini because it’s been something I’ve considered for years. The cost is a factor for sure, but I feel like putting the money into it and booking nonrefundable sessions would force me to suck it up and push through pain for the results I want. At home IPL may be more cost effective and less painful, but it has to be more often, and I also don’t know if I can make myself actually do it because I’m a baby versus someone doing it for me. But if I do it at home I could also do areas like belly, lower leg if I need, underarm, etc. at no additional cost. I just don’t know about the pain factor of doing it on my own, and if I screw up in ways a laser tech wouldn’t.
I don’t want to hear from people who say leg/bikini laser for them was just a snap or sting or rubber band sensation, that won’t reflect what IPL may be like for me. Laser on my legs was torture, I need to know if IPL would also be a form of torture.
I got my first epilator a few days ago and im using it today, i had already used my sisters epilator 2 times before but im now using my own on my entire body and it hurts so much only on my legs and arms
I showered before, i used baby powder and im pulling the skin but it still hurts like a bitch! How am i supposed to use this on harder places like my armpits/pubic area😭
Do you guys have any tips on how to use an epilator without leaving a mess of hair everywhere? I wanna try being as clean about this as possible
I feel like I've tried everything and am not having much luck with facial hair removal. The hair on my face is wispy but black, and even the darker/thicker hairs are not much thicker than an eyelash but still noticeable because I have very pale skin and dark hair. Trying to research at-home removal options has been overwhelming so I'd appreciate any help here 😅
Previously, I used to wax this hair at home but then I noticed the hair seemed to grow back faster over time and it seemed like it was causing me to get fine lines around my mouth. So, I tried laser and that seemed to activate(?) more hairs to grow and had the opposite effect so I stopped that (but have had good laser hair removal results elsewhere so I'm not sure what that issue was; but the laser tech agreed I should stop on the face). Then I tried electrolysis for a bit but the place near me closed so I wasn't able to go long enough to see results. I did that 2-3 times but never noticed anything (positive or negative) and know I probably didn't do it enough to see results.
For now, I switch between shaving and depilatory cream (like Nair or Veet) because that's easiest, but I've noticed more hairs growing in on my face after this. Because I know these methods can't change the hair growth I'm thinking maybe fine, translucent hair was removed and grew back black so now I can see more of it? It's gotten to be really frustrating and I just want something permanent, ideally that I can do at home. But different people have different results, and I'm having difficulty finding a safe, reliable, at-home product for facial hair removal, so I'd appreciate any recommendations you all could give!
Hi I’m 31 Female struggling with thick hair on my hamstring (upper leg).I’ve tried exfoliating everyday and nothing, so many ingrowns. I hate wearing shorts or any short dresses.
Pls any advice!
would I be a good candidate? pic attached.
do any particular that would be suited? that you had success with?
I used to leave it pubic hair for many days and if it is too dense, then only I do shave.
How frequently one should shave pubic hair?
Is it normal to grow as larger, if it so, don't it affect health?
What type of razors you use to shave them?
Sorry, if it feels awkward, I just want to hear it from real people, rather than Google.
Please reply to create awareness to more people.
Yesterday I posted about an esthetician both burning and lifting skin on my eyelid. I removed my post because certain members of this page were harassing me for being upset that I was hurt during a wax at a popular chain and I mentioned I was considering speaking to a lawyer. Keep in mind, this is a huge chain, not a privately owned business. Not that this should really matter.
I spoke with both the manager of the store today and the waxing trainer, who is also my favorite waxer. They were mortified that this happened to me and they both agreed this is bad and I wasn't overreacting. They have opened a formal investigation and the employee has been placed on probation. Apparently this was not the first time she's injured a client and she's new. She will most likely be fired which of course makes me feel awful. But at the same time, you can't really make dangerous mistakes in a job like this.
I'm glad I spoke up. And after the comments I received yesterday I want to be very clear about something. You should NEVER leave a waxing service, or any service for that matter, wounded. You should not have to "just deal with" burns, lifting or any amount of damage to your self. It's not normal and it's not "part of the process". If this happens, speak up and don't feel bad. Knowing that this waxer has injured people in the past changed my perspective.
Obviously I'm pissed for vanity reasons. I'm going away this week(hence getting my brows done)and now I can't wear any eye makeup. Silly I realize, but I've been planning this trip for a year. But also it freaking hurts A LOT! It's my eyelid and eyelids open and close and crease and I have abrasions on my lid. It's a constant burning pain. And it sucks!
The hair on my legs not even 1 month after I started using Phillips Lumea (4000?)
Only downside the Ipl takes time to get through all my legs bikini etc but my legs are much smoother it seems to me!
Glad I didn’t go to the studio where they would have charged me multiple hundred euros per session - and I would have needed 10 at least I think
They’re not especially large, but definitely there. If you noticed this, would it put you off?
I shave and i have the ULIKE air 3 which i will start soon… any recommendations for leg care?? i have awful ingrowns and super thick hair!
It’s not even the pain of epilation, I honestly don’t mind it, but I am a beginner at this, and I am having trouble successfully epilating, for two reasons:
or a solution? Exfoliating with an african net sponge, or a dry brush, doesn’t do anything.
How does one tell it is fully taking the hair and the root out?
advice is appreciated, and is anyone else struggling with these things? I just wonder if it is worth it, or if I should just return the epilator before I can’t.
Sorry I'm posting again but after I finished shaving I went to clean my shaver as instructed but then noticed this brush part and mine didn't include it so I was wondering where I could get one for cheap
My mom doesn't let me shave because she thinks the hair grows back thicker. whether or not that's true, i don't want to have to shave multiple times a week to keep it under control. so my mom gave me a spring-like object to pluck the hair off my face, but that didn't work well and it was too painful to do it so slowly. i then got an epilator to use on my body and face, and while it works great for my body, it's just so fainful on the face, especially on and around the upper lip. so just yesterday, i got wax strips thinking maybe i should just wax my face and use the epilator and wax on my body. and omg idk if it's the company or the way i did it, but the wax barely pulled anything. one entire cheek is open, the wax got stuck on my side burns and chin and my jaw, and I can't use the cleansing oil wipes bc my skin is sensitive and i get really bad acne putting oil on immediately after waxing. i just don't know what to do because i can't afford anything like laser or electrolysis, but i can't seem to make waxing work either.
is this a good routine for post/pre care? i’ve been getting waxed for a few months and always suffer from ingrown hairs. i recently had to take a break because i did not care for myself after my last wax and i paid the price. anyways, my skin is healed and i am going for a wax on the 20th. also, the moisturizer everyone is saying to use after showers and before applying jojoba oil is vanicream. i use the neutrogena hydro boost water gel moisturizer on my face, would i be able to use that down there too or no? also if anyone would make any changes please let me know! thank you!!!
I've been getting my eyebrows waxed for 30+ years. At least 15 of those years has been at the same "chain". I've absolutely never had anything like this happen. I did notice the wax was hot at one point but I didn't think twice. She plucked a lot as well. The rest of the day I kept complaining about how much my eyes hurt. Both the eyebrow and eyelid. Just, it all hurt. This is not typical. I woke up this morning with this. Is this "Call them and complain" bad or "hire a lawyer" bad. Dear lord it hurts and if you zoom it's actually quite deep. To be clear I have never sued anyone. I'm not at all litigious. But holy crap they're a gigantic chain and they deeply burnt me.
I am wondering if it really is common for italian men to shave their pubes? Not just trim, but fully shave? I have been seeing posts about it for as long as I can remember and as an american it really surprises me. Are any italians here? Is that your experience also?
