Does it work? What's hair regrowth like? Does it cause ingrown hairs or make hair look thicker when it grows back? Any info would be great.

It depends on your complexion and the coarseness of your hair. If you are fair-skinned and thin-haired it will work fine. If you are darker with coarser hair, then I would recommend waxing. Usually bleaching and hair removal products do not remove coarse hair effectively and if you leave it on for longer than recommended, then you can actually burn your skin.

I tried it years ago and I did the test spot waited 2 days and showed no sign of a problem, then used it on my legs and still ended up with major chemical burns that where so bad that I had to wear shorts for a week in the middle of winter because nothing could touch them. I have friends that use it all the time and love it because the regrowth is slow and lighter.

yea it works. It lasts about a week. But if you think about it, if the chemical is really that strong to take out your hair, it must not be good for your skin! And if you accedentilly RuB it in instead of Pat it, my friend Got blisters alll over her legs. I suggest just shaving. Takes Longer, doesnt last as long, but im sure its MUCh healthier.

its only intended for the legs, possibly arms, any other area will cause serious irritation, i know cuz my cousin used it on his head once before reading the bottle, and no it wont make hair come back thicker, when his hair did grow back, at first it came in as patches

I think Veet is much better and more gentle over all, I get much fewer ingrown hairs with it, even in my sensitive spots.

I've used Nair 2 times in my life a couple of years ago and both times made my skin burn.....the chemicals are too harsh....now i only use soap and water.

i didnt experience any ingrown hairs, or increased thickness...but that part would kinda vary by the person haha
