r/HairRemoval

I have peach fuzz growing all over my face. If you were me, would you leave it like that or shave it? How should I remove it?

For context I epilated over 2 weeks ago and was fine those first weeks but then on to the third week when hair started growing back I got these red all over my bikini area and thighs need help to try a prevent what over this ingrown hair or folliculitis
Thx

I have fair skin and very dark, dense, and thick hair. Until I was about 16, I just shaved everyday. However, I have very sensitive skin and it got to a point where shaving honestly just made me look worse. I got thick red rashes up my legs anytime I use a cheap razor or used an expensive one more than 2-3 times. Even electric razors stop working after a few uses no matter how well I took them apart and cleaned them every time. Spending $30 a week on razors was never really in my budget, so I just stopped shaving for a few years.

While it doesn’t bother me too terribly bad, it does bother other people. My mother in particular can’t seem to make it through a conversation without bringing up how disgusting my body hair is. So, for her birthday, I decided to try a few new methods. First I tried a bunch of different types of wax, but I couldn’t really find one that didn’t leave me looking incredibly patchy on my legs (though it has worked well for other parts of my body). Then, I tried chemical hair removers like Nair and Veet. Nair left me with a terrible rash. Veet worked in my bikini area, but not on my legs.

Next, I was going to try an epilator, but unlike the others, it’s not something I can drop $10-20 on and throw away if it didn’t work after a few weeks. I’ve considered laser, but, since it’s not something that bothers me too terribly, I don’t want to invest that much money on it. I would be willing to try an IPL, but, like the epilator, it’s something that’s too expensive to just try out. So I figured I’d try to ask this subreddit for advice before making any big purchases.

Here are my criteria:
- I don’t mind it if it’s something that takes a long time
- I have a high pain tolerance and I’m not worried about how badly it will hurt
- I wouldn’t be upset if I still had some hair, I just want it to be less of a pelt than it is currently.
- I have light skin and dark hair
- I don’t want anything that will irritate sensitive skin or leave me with terrible rashes
My hair is trimmed right now, but the last picture that is really blurry is a better example of what it looks like grown out.
