waxing/shaving (girls Q)?

Question

i have thick black hair and when i shave my legs within a few hours they are spikey! do you think waxing is the answer?? i have tried home waxing but it still doesnt get rid of all the hair

Answer 1

Waxing is best for you because it will make you hair thinner but you have to do it regularly (every 15 days). Once you start waxing your are not to shave anymore, doing so, will make your hair thicker and more. Waxing not only make your hair thinner but also exfoliate your skin. If you continue doing it eventually you will have less hair.

Answer 2

I've had the same problem for a while and shaving is not the answer not only it doesn't last but if you do it excessively you will get shaving bumps. Try veet ,Nair but the best thing is to get wax a little pricey but the hair won't grow back for at leaste two weeks
Good luck

Answer 3

have you thought about using an epilator? they work in the same way as waxing (pull the hairs out by their roots) but it's a lot less messy than waxing. they look like an electric razor (sort of) but pull the hairs out so it's a bit more painful.

it's definately the cheaper option in the long run as you only pay out once! (hint, if you take a painkiller about half an hour to an hour before doing it it's less painful!) The pain does decrease the more you use it - if you've done waxing it's no worse than that xxx

Answer 4

you sound like you have the same problem as me. but mine grows back slightly the next day. if you want to, you can go to a professional and get it waxed, but it might be a bit expensive for both legs, esp if you want to get it done every couple of weeks. and if you think home waxing doesnt get rid of hair completely, then nair wont work. back when i used nair, i used to always had to shave after i used it...not to mention it BURNED.

so having said all that, waxing would be your best option. maybe you can get it done professionally once, and afterwards, do it by yourself.

Answer 5

Girl, shaving can make your hair grow thick. And if you do house waxing with with products like Veet, it doesnt pull out to the pores. Try the waxing of the salons. You know the ones that hurts. Cause its much better. And with a reasonable price! But still it would grow back. But not THICK ANYMORE!

Answer 6

im a guy and ive both shaved and waxed my chest/shoulder/back hair which is really thick and disguiting. the hair grows back within a week after waxing, but within hours with shaving. usually i do both. i shave in between waxing sessions, lol. if i dont wax at all, you can actually see stuble everywhere after a while of just shaving, so i let it grow in a little after ive ben shaving for six to eight weeks and then go waxing again. i might do lazer.

Answer 7

Try laser hair removal done by a reputable medical spa with a license. It's costly but lasts a long time. It's basically permanent. It works well on dark hair (not so well on lighter hair).

Or instead of home waxing, go to a professional beauty spa. They should be able to get rid of all hair. Lasts 4-6 weeks, depending.

Answer 8

go to a salon and have waxing done have it done every few weeks and within five years you will be able to have it done maybe 3 or 4 times a year as the hair growth slows down and becomes very fine. Try it it really works.

Answer 9

waxing is always better. the more you wax, the thinner the hairs get, and although it may be difficult to remove all the hairs the first few times, it will get easier.

when you shave you only cut the hairs, and so they grow back faster and thicker, waxing actually pulls the hair from the roots so it take longer to grow back and they are thinner. hope i helped and good luck. waxing thick hairs isnt easy or painless. xx

Answer 10

You should try waxing and see how it works for you or maybe get an electric razor but NEVER use Nair!!!! It's bad for your skin! Past experiences
