Hi my sister has one told me to not shave it because after shaving it will grow back as the thick type. She plucks though. I think it's painful but worth it. Or maybe you can go for waxing. Many waxing deals in Groupon. smile.gif

Do consider waxing. It's slightly painful but you can stay hairless up to a month.

Or if you have the budget, do consider IPL.

else, you can also trying bleaching.

I don't shave my arms, I find that to be a waste of time because no one really notices arm hair unless you're absolutely gorilla-like, but even then, I don't think your self esteem should be dependent on others so much. who are these guys who notice? why do they matter?

What you think is thicker hair growing back, is not actually thicker. It's just new hair that hasn't been weathered by the elements yet. they get softer the longer they get, so don't worry about it.

Just go for waxing, if you really want to get rid of the hairs.

I don't have much body hair so it's not very noticeable.
I do shave my legs sometimes if I feel like it. It doesn't grow back thicker, it's just not as soft but it'll get softer as it grows longer. What I do most of the time is epilate the hairs on my legs. It will last longer that way.

I've not done waxing as my body hair is very fine, probably break instead of getting it pulled out. If money is not a concern, go for those permanent hair removal. Lots of these promotions around on Groupon and similar sites these days. I've bought my underarm e-Light treatment on Groupon and it has been awesome for me. I used to have really annoying underarm hair and grows out very fast even when I pluck or wax. Now I don't have to bother it for 2 weeks and it's still hairless.

you aren't perfect, and your loved ones cannot expect you to be. when it's cold, I go months without shaving my legs just for extra warmth, and my boyfriend can take it or leave it. My comfort overrides his preferences. also, if he can't love me at my worst, he doesn't deserve my best.

an epilator is basically an electrical tweezer. Of course it's painful ... have you ever tried threading your eyebrows? Multiple hairs are pulled out of your skin at one go. it lasts about two weeks.

Just buy it through online banking. Then print the voucher out and it'll act as your 'ticket'. Bring the 'ticket' to the shop and they'll do it for you. smile.gif

You can find it at any Jusco, parkson and even Watsons and guardian sometimes.
Yes it's painful because it pulls out the hair. How long it last will depend on your body. Some will last weeks, while some last few days only. Even waxing, if I wax, it'll last max around 1 week only, most ppl say will last at least 2 weeks.

Google up sugar wax if you plan to DIY at home. I've found it very convenient to make and use sugar wax. Don't need any special applicator or tools. It should be very easy to use sugar wax for arms and legs. Go see YouTube videos on how to do it.

arm hair - unless if it's very thick n dark n bushy, leave it la. if anything, guys will just think that you are horny n that sort of works out to your advantage. if you insist, use those veet waxing paper to do it at home.

leg hair - wax it off or use the epilator. hair regrowth really depends on individual. some say up to few weeks.. i'm happy if mine lasts for 1 week

underarm - definitely go for IPL or eLight. no pain, quick procedure. n it's hard to DIY this at home unless if your body is very flexible.

arm hair is small matter for me. but i hv a fren who has long arm hair, she use hair plucks machine to get rod of it. Her hari won't turn out thicker as this is the bright side of pluck of the hair. You may try this "as seen on tv" product if u interested in getting one. Link: http://www.cutetygirl.com/goods.php?id=5828

as for leg hair, YES! definitely need to get rid of it. Use waxing, nice, clean and no mess.

LYN's stuff for ladies got quite a number of sellers selling DIY home wax.

Epilator cost varies from a range of RM50-RM600+. There are many brands. Panasonic is more of an average priced and durable one (My first epilator cost RM79 and is still working well after 5 years); Braun is quite expensive but very good (I have an awesome one that cost me RM600, it comes with power rechargeable battery and many different heads including a shaver, waterproof too). The price varies depending on what features you want. I've seen lots of cheaper epilators selling online for around RM50-80.

first of all, hair removal can be painful, unless you're desperate to get rid of it then the best of all will be waxing it off. I know this because... sigh, inherited dad's hairy genes (not that gorilla hairy *phew*)

I wax in Bangsar Telawi Street at Saluja Beauty Salon or the one next door (can't remember the name). It's quite fast and not really that painful (pain if it's your first time). No pain, no gain, kan? I do my threading there too. Byebye thick eyebrows and misai.

I tried Veet... and i highly suggest that you DO NOT use it, because it causes hair to be thicker and it's also bad for scars. I had a mosquito bite scars and veet made them stay.... like forever. Boo! Now I need scar remover!
