I've always had Nair in the house. I don't know why, somehow I remain convinced that it SHOULD work. It seems like the easiest solution, and the quickest too. Instead of trying to rip or slice the hair off, you simply dissolve it away with acid. Sounds reasonable to me!
Unfortunately every time I get around to trying Nair again, I am reminded why I don't use it. The one I happened to try today was the Nair Hair Remover Lotion with Aloe Vera. This should be doubly good, right? Not only does it dissolve away your hairs, but it soothes your skin afterwards.
Believe me, I follow all the instructions very carefully. Forst I soak in warm water for at least 1/2 hour to soften up the hairs. Then I shake the nair well and apply it on the legs thickly without rubbing it in. The hair is definitely coated. Then I wait 15 minutes (the longest allowable time) before attempting to wipe it off. Nothing happens. Maybe a few hairs are removed, but the vast majority remain.
Not only that, but anybody who tells you that this "acid" can tell the difference between your organic hair and your organic skin is lying. It hurts to have this cream sitting on your entire legs for 15 minutes. I think of it as 'beauty torture'. When I'm done, not only do I still have my leg hair left, but I now have red bumps where the acid got into pores and caused irritation. I wouldn't mind the temporary irritation (gone the next day) if the hair actually went away too. But noooooooooooooooooo.but at least i dont have super hairy legs so its not too bad but i dont think you should use nair.
ok hope this helped

The results of Nair are exactly like those of shaving because Nair does not remove hair below the skin level, but you don't want to use Nair to remove pubic hair because it will cause the skin to burn too much. Waxing is the only way to remove the hair by the root. That's why waxing lasts so much longer than shaving or Nair.

I use Veet. It's not as harsh as Nair or other hair removers. It's as gentle as body lotion. It takes a little longer for the hair to grow back than shaving but the best part is that it takes a lot less time. You just rub it on, wait 3 minutes and wash it off; no cuts, no razor burn, just smooth legs for 3 to 5 days (depending on how quickly your hair grows). I swear by it. I'll never shave my legs again :p

Why would you waste an hour of your life trying to get a few hairs off with nair when shaving is much easier and faster!

Ive used veet and ive used nair, and i got the same results.
Like 5 hairs off my legs were removed for 20 minutes of preparation for te damn cream. It just all sucks. Try waxing, it hurts.. but for 3 1/2 weeks of no shaving. Its worth it!
