Meaningless even ur leg without hair


then it grow out very fast, and when it starting to grow, her like so spicky.. actually i feel so geli feeling when touch it. It is so sharp and disgusting

because of this, i scared to do anything on my leg .. i dont wan regret in my whole life..


but i hope to have very smooth and nice fair leg, when u rub ur leg together cant feel fair and smooth. in between , scared got bad experience like my friends

u wan long term go do laser lor....but it will cost u

hey... just want to share my experience
i've shaved b4 n it doesn't cause me ingrown, u'll need to scrub ocassionally to avoid ingrown hair...
n it will make ur skin silky smooth too...
but it grows really fast indeed.
i recently just got n epilator..
so far so good
it won't remove all hair at once(n it's still kinda hard to use for me)
n at some point it will be pointy(but not as sharp as shave)
but some of the hair will be remove permanently...
so it's really up to u..
n i've asked the laser b4 n it's really expensive
for legs if u wan to remove all as in no hair left at all it may cost u rm8k or more if i'm not mistaken.
by the way when u shave ur suppose to shave the direction ur hair grows, otherwise it may cause ingrown as u said earlier..

I tried epilator, waxing and shaving... I now only shave, because leg hairs grow very fast (one day??? ). I shave every two days - no ingrown hair for me though. Epilator the hair still grows back the same, waxing makes the hair grow unevenly (some long some short), plus not easy to use (wax is very sticky, have to use oil to remove, if miss one tiny spot of wax then feel uneasy all day...


Try shaving. Hair is spiky, but if u shave often no ingrown hair/spikes occur.

Ah, another way to prevent ingrown hair is scrubbing/rubbing dead skin cells (my mum says its dirt) when u shower.


2 cents.

thx alot girls.. but i dont wan my legs look black dot leh,... =(.. even shave , u can see the black dot.. like armpit lor.. i tot epilator is like waxing? is plucking out the hair?

When I use the veet cream, very fast grow back.... So I tried waxing, and found it useful as slow a bit growing back. Occasionally waxing will make it grow lesser and lesser for mine. Hm...

waxing for long term it is very expensive? like 1 bottle rm55 can use how long? i ask the seller they said cant estimate wor.

then waxing will ur leg got black dot whe it start grow back, it is spicky?
still undecided mind =)

but i heard epilator is conveninet

My kind of wax is very convenient, buy from watson or guardian, the strips kind of wax..
1 strip can re-use at diff place until the sticky feeling gone. Just pull 1 time, the hair will all plucked out with it.
Wont be pain also if you use it the correct way.

No black dot, as u pull out the hair from the root. wont be spiky also when grow as it grow like new hair not like being shaved.

not expensive, not more than RM20, inside normally got 10-20 strips depends on brand. Can be use 3-4 times for me, for 2 months....

may i know which brand is good ya? thx alot for sharing!! so after using ur leg will very smooth when rub to each other ? =P
i heard ppl said waxing also can make ur leg fairer wor. dont no true o not
can it use on my knee? my knee got alot hair..

oh, so it grow again will be same as my currently hair right?
i think shave really bad but dont no why ppl still wan
i always see my armpit i feel so ugly.. pores so big, got black dot and not smooth =(

if u want to remove hair and use wax you can use this numbing cream which i sell call no scream cream it is very good you can check my siggy

waxing is better than shave...

why not try veet ? =)

the hair removable cream.
its awesome

I say wax it~!!!

Better result, last longer and you can pay a pro to do it at minimal cost. Just go to Bangsar for your wax, its not so painful for you and your wallet

By the way, has anyone tried 'sugaring' as a way to remove hair??? I bought the Body Shop Sugar Wax and tried once, but failed?? Anyone got experience on how to use it??

the spiky hair is only when it first grows out for goodness sake. The black dots just mean that her hair is particularly thick. I have fine hair, so whether I shave or not, you can't really see it unless it gets really really long.

I shave, but I have the gift of fine hair

i used to shave.. not a good idea. causes the hair to grow coarse... did a few laser hair removal session after that and * it'll all gone now... thanks to skin club... www.skinclub.com.my

go for laser

veet lorh..

how you shave is very important... saw this article yesterday about hair removal using laser.

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Kuala-Lumpur...810&topic=16225

but not sure how they charge now... did my underarms and private area there about a year ago. result is good....

I try Sugar wax from Body Shop. Fail Big Time.

veet wax strip, might try nair next time
but make sure the hair is long enough (at least 5mm recommended) before waxing else it won't do anything

agreed to evilhomura89 waxing strip is recommended, veet, nair is quite ok for me.. dont shave. will cause itchy n grow hair very fast..

why not you do a permanent hair removal? it only takes 4 to 5 session it depends to the growth of the hair coz its quite tiring to shave it every now and then and its expensive if you do waxing every time the hair grow.. i do mine in a skin center in menara hap seng its a price ok lah not that expensive, and you can pay every visit .now im on my second treatment and the resullt is doing good.. so far

i've done waxing and using an epilator, i'd defnitely recommend epilator!!! it's practically a girls bestfriend. easy to use, less pain than waxing and no spiky shaved regrowth.

waxing is so painful, and can cause the pores to be inflamed, i noticed my legs started to have red dots that didn't really go away after i waxed (This is after 2 yrs waxing).. and my fren had really bad experience where hers turned into big brown dots on her legs..maybe it was too inflamed. and the dots never fade away anymore.

so before my situation turned into hers, i bought myself an epilator and been happy with it ever since..

4-5 treatment can permanent remove everything? i saw some girls there legs is very shinny one.. it is related with permament hair removal treatment? how much ya each treatment?

I would suggest you to do waxing if you haven't done anything to your legs before. Shaving is definitely a no cos it leaves black dots and the growth of your new hair will be thicker.

Waxing isn't really that pain provided the wax used to remove the hair is good and the person who does it is skillful.

not sure leh... but after a couple sessions my legs looks clearer... not so dull also... whether or not everything goes off i'm not sure, but the hair is finer and less obvious.

how much for one sessions?

Does waxing strips hurt?

try using epilator...its superb!

I started by tweezing the hair one by one. Mine wasn't a lot so I didn't do anything before this as well.

Then one day I just use my epilator on my leg and I've never turned back since! Haha. Now it's a routine every 2 weeks I epilate my legs. Do it in the shower and hardly takes a few minutes.

Laser is the best treatment for permanent hair removal without causing in grown and thicker hair. u can try Skin CLub. They're having anniversary promo this month and u can get half price. try it

my leg's hairs are thick and black
i use wax to remove the hairs, it's effective, but when the hair grow back, the hair become ingrown... lots of ingrown.. what should i do?

i use veet wax strip before, but seem not so effective as those wax

Trying permenant hair removal now. am hoping it's going to work. so sick of going for waxing and shaving already

You can use body scrub 1st to scrub away your dead skin. and then don use the wax. use the veet spray type. wax is too heavy especially for sensitive skin

i hear you. looking for something permanent for legs but laser can be very expensive. other than laser i don't know anything else that's permanent
