I've been using the traditional shaving method for over a year now, BUT it is still itchy, especially the day after! It's not really noticeable lah since I've gotten used to it, but I'm still wondering if there are any better ways to do it.

Also, to those still using razor blades, which direction do you shave in? I just realized that shaving from top to bottom (from ur arm down to ur body) actually means that you are shaving against the grain. Or am I the only one with hair growing upwards instead of downwards?

I practise plucking method. If your armpit hair not too much then you can try this method as well.

both i tried~~plucking looks more clean...shave make my armpit still got some black dots. armpit skin is not smooth as other part so using shave is not nice i think.

i go for threading every week. it become fairer and the hair tat grow become thinner and thinner

well its always good to use the deo that will make your armpit fairer

How much is the threading?

where got threading service? i tot this method aldy exttinct liao lor.....

there's few shops in bangsar which do threading...
just let ur armpit hair fully grow for like 1 or 2 weeks
then let them thread...

i use braun epilator as well...good...clean...

After you use the epilator, usually how long will you need to use it again for the armpit?
How does it actually works?

i oso use Braun epilator but it seem like cannot remove all my hair, still need to pluck lor.... sigh

aiya...as i know,plucking is the traditional and effective way..altho it make a bit ma fan..

i also apply plucking method but i nv heard that it will make our armpit sag really ma?? any articles to support this??

urmmm.. how about waxing? izit bad too?

wahhh..pluck will leads to cells dead and sagging ?
i swear i wont plug anymore!!

cannot shave, cannot pluck, then do what ??

wax? how's wax? never try before ...

btw,where to get these epilator? whats the price for it? hmm..

can recommend which shop you go to for this?

i saw at electronic department. almost RM89.

why cannot shave

Braun epilator ?paiseh may i know watz tat>?got pic?

http://www.shavercentre.com/braun_5270.html

Something like a shaver, but it "pulls" instead of shaves, I think.

Btw, regarding the dark spots, I was told it was mostly due to toxins trapped in the lymph nodes. Don't know if it's true though.

Can i know which shop in Bangsar that you said ??
Normaly i used the plucking method, but heard that it is not good.
I asked the price from Bella, and the consultant told me it needs about rm3k++ for armpit permanent hair removal.

slsl,
sure or not? plucking will caused sagging? so terrible.. i ahve been using this method from the beginning until now wor.. saggging????? same as my eyebrow also... how how how??? got any suggestion?


Sinthia,
do u have any good brand to recommend? and its price?
TQ

yeap.. i was once a panasonic promoter... that's wat my supervisor tells me.. plucking the eyebrown will cause cell to die faster.. so it will sag sooner...

may i noe da epilator selling at whr?
guardian, watson or whr?
thx

yeah... the epilator seems good. seems to be fast and efficient. i hate plucking cos it takes time. so sometimes, i just shave. however, shaving causes in-grown hair for me. so, i think plucking is better. so if this epilator have plucking effect and it's fast, it would be great. where can i get it and which brand is better?

does it hurt when you use the epilator? is it painful?

i agreed with that! but i still pluck

oh sorry i didn't visit here so often anymore
regarding kalo (i first written about it in the first page)
kalo is a product which claims to inhibit hair growth
u can google 'kalo' and the homepage will appear
started using it some time ago
but lazy to wax every time
so din use often
but can see that the hair take longer time to grow
hopefully one day it will just vanish

btw, where to get kalo ? in m'sia or singapore

can anyone explains what threading is? sounds very interesting..

kalo can only be purchased in the selective distributer
can check from their website
i bought mine from the one and only branch in malaysia
its in sungai wang
but they only have the spray
if anyone want to import pls contact me
i wanna tumpang
thanks

is kalo effective? how much did u buy it for? and where's the shop exactly in sg wang? do share with us here..thx..

right now there seem to be some ambiguities regarding Kalo's effectiveness
i do not wish to promote or refrain ppl from buying the product
however, pls do some research on the product and see if u are willing to take the risk on getting a non effective product
i've checked the clinical trials and found some fishy stuff but as some ppl have actually claimed it works i bought it

the distributer in malaysia is
Sanmaki Enterprise
S-091, 2nd Flr, Sungei Wang Plaza, Jalan Sultan Ismail
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
50250
sanmaki@tm.net.my

is kalo expensive??
i alwiz juz pluck it...
so troublesome

what's your personal experience like, using kalo? do u think it's effective? are u satisfied with the product? just wondering...

if anyone here are tired of shaving or plucking...do try to use epilator..its looks sumething like an electric shaver...just that it doesnt shave but pluck instead...you can get that in most of the big chain electrical store which sells shaver.. or jusco electrical department (mostly it's displayed inside the glass showcase)

well, i personally made a survey...there are basically 2 sizes of epilator....1 for shaving legs, armpit, bikini line, and another which is smaller in size...which is for armpit hair, and bikini line.

the price range for philips and panasonic, for the bigger epilator is around rm140-160. and the smaller cost ard rm 80-90. the Braun cost more...but i cant remember the price.

i personally wanted to get 1..my friend had recommended me the panasonic...she said that it really works and is able to pluck your hair effectively and fast.

p/s: it hurts very much in the first few times you start using it...because it plucks your hair...however, you will get used to the pain doing it few times

here are some link which might help
philips elipator 1
philips epilator 2 (bigger type)
panasonic epilator

this is from Braun websitebraun website

i am very interested with this. for those who hv tried it.. is there any risk? other than ingrown hair occurence?

Hi All ..

I'm new here ...

I normally shave when I'm lazy ... and sometimes I use a traditional method i.e. plucking

In my opinion, using Epilator is the best, as it pluck the hair from root. I just bought Braun Silk & Soft LS5160 - Using battery (cost about RM199). have not use it yet. will try out today.

Still reading the manual for the usage. Using Threading is not bad either. pls let me know the where I can get the service, bangsar which part? any recomendations.

Read about epilators but have yet to try. I used to pluck but got lazy after a while.
The main thing is to remove the root to avoid any ingrown hair.

plucking armpit hairs makes the skin loose and looks like chicken skin after you pluck their feathers our

Anyone has ingrow hair? Is there anyway to cure?

U girls can try out threading in Bangsar..
in front Bansar Village....there's one mamak call 'Devi'....2 shops after the mamak there's one indian boutique..it's inside the boutique

I wax it off. XD

Is it u have to keep it to a certain length only u can go for threading?
Is it pain while threading?
How frequent u will go threading?
May i know how much does it charge?

Take shower/bath at least twice a day, and wash your armpit properly.

Most people they take bath/shower once everyday and its one of the reason why the armpit itch like fook.

Use Veet..quick n easy...but grow back quite fast but if plucking can last longer...

So far I've tried shaving, plucking, epilator, waxing and permanent hair removal

Shaving: Definitely out of the issue coz i felt after you shave the hair gets thicker plus it will grow lots more and armpit becomes darken. But of course not painful la

Plucking: Can be considered coz kinda clean after you pluck. But then sometimes it will looks like those chicken without hair ... Of course it will pain a little but once you get used to it then should be ok

Epilator: I tried before I think mine is Braun as well. Its kinda cool can pluck the hair so fast. To ppl like me having skin sensitive after plucking it will red so I don't really use it. Its little bit painful. If not careful might have ingrown hair as well(kinda difficult to remove this)

Waxing: Can be quite clean also have to see where you do it. So far I went to salon and didn't DIY. It can last longer and sometimes it won't grow that much. It will cause redness for maybe a day or two

As for permanent hair removal... its super exp and it doesn't really PERMANENT you know. It also depending on which type you did, depending on ur hormones, your hair etc etc factors. The one I did was LHE(light heat energy) something like that. You can google it. Those who have little hair then maybe you can try. Results is hair grow really slow maybe a month or two only need to do once. It will become very fine. Almost like your arm hair those type. The thing is it will somehow still grow not sure when. Some ppl may take months some take years for it to grow back. Usually ppl will take about 5 times min. Some ppl only need like 3 times then they need to touch up like maybe half year once or a year once. The hair so far for me it will grow but really much finer than the original and shorter.

The package can cost up to like RM900 perhaps. But then so far wax is much cheaper la heh. Or consider plucking even cheaper FOC. Threading I haven't try before but sounds interesting.

do u noe where can i get an epilater???

I guess those electrical shop that sells shavers would have ba. I bought mine when I went down to SG heh

who's interested to get an epilator?i have one , used for 2 months only, i didn't use for armpit, dun worry, used for my legs only, it's clean and still new...used twice only, then i went to do laser d, now not using epilators!!hehe...pm me if u wanna get it from me ya?

you goin for laser? how much does it cost? and where did you do it? don't forget to let us know the results as well o i am curious

pros n cons of different types of hair removing

hi everyone,

go BELLA..famous v permanent hair removal..100% permanent after d course...highly recommend,but expensive,but really worth it~
well...rm199 first trial.full course ard RM3+++(armphit) for about 6 or 7 times juz cant have permanent result+1 year touch up.6 weeks go back for treatment.

it will solve all d prob u gals hav..

yea, i heard of it.

but have you personally went for it?

i wonder, is it gonna be painful?

Dear why don used epilator?

hi there!!
anybody tried here b4?? http://www.reniebeauty.com/index.html cz it sounds very convincing and confidence grew after reading the link that onimusha gave..cz i've been eyeing on this clinic about a year or so after reading it from the star bt din have time to pay a visit to it

lol.. i was laughing reading this...

i heard if u want to inhibit armpit hair grows.. apply some oil(forgot what oil..mayb baby oil) when u were a child until ur first menstrual. owez do dat. dunno its true or not.

so does waxing cause ingrown hair? and how long den the hair will grow back? is waxing almost the same as plucking?
