Hi~!
I am not sure if I am suppose to be posting it here or under Fashion & Beauty..
So, If I made any mistakes, please forgive me ... and move this thread to where it should belong.

Girls, I just want to ask how you remove your underarm hair?
Or in other words, your armpit hair.

I heard shaving isn't really good.
Most will use a tweezer, but it cause in-growns and sometimes make the underarm look dark/black?

May I know how to reduce the in-growns/bumps and erm ..."whiten" the underarm?
Not sure of the proper term.

I heard some use waxing ... for the underarm, but is it really safe?

Thanks for reading, and any input is appreciated.

Hihi.. u may wanna try hair removal treatment.. nowadays is very popular and demanding in the market.

Recommended Bella Skin Care (I have undergone treatment 4 - 5 yrs back and the result seems satisfying and no more grown hair) cheers~

Or else.. u can compare prices wif other beauty saloon as Bella is quite pricey tho.. I noe Terimee is offering hair removal programme as well..

Good luck & Happy New Year~

Firstly I shave my armpit......... and then I try the tweezer but now waxing..... cos i have try

Waxing perfectly safe... do it at the salon.

Ehh, I heard those removal hair treatment were just temporary?
And thanks for the help!

Ahh waxing is alright?
My friend was telling me it was evil ... and it is really painful, scars and etc, so I got scared.
Can recommend me which Salon you usually go for waxing the underarm hair?
Thanks for the great help!

I personally don't like the hair removal creams cos your hair roots stay in the skin and you can still see them anyway. I just wax mine.

aint it gonna be OUCCCCCH! in toilet? *i can hear someone screaming of it*

I can say from experience that it is the best! It will be painful the first few times u get it done but it's well worth it. "It" looks a lot prettier, clean and neatly with the brazilian done. U can contact them at 03-22836094.

Tweezer for me! Just be extra careful if you're waxing the underarm area.

Ahh alright!
Thank you so much for your help!

I need to hug you now!

Jk, once again thanks for your help.

Yeah, need to becareful...
I usually use a tweezer ...
But so slow ...
And after take so long to remove the hair ...
It grows back within ... 3 days or so.
And, those thiny hair that grows back ..
Looks not so neat.

Well, maybe I'm just doing it wrong ...
(T______T)"

nope. I don't make a sound when I tear it off.

Anyone knows how much for this hair removal treatment?
and need how many courses to complete?

Recommend that as well. Pricey but professional. My gal friends go there.

Sorry, I am not quite sure.
Thanks for coming to the thread though..

Thanks for your input, will definitely check out there.

SOrry,couldn't help

kerosine + ligther. Instant deforestation.

According to a website I saw, it recommended pumice stones to whiten and lessen bumps in the underarms.
But when I asked my friend, she said it was stupid?

Can someone clarify that?

would love to know this as well

Does anyone know where to get DIY waxing stuff?

u may get it from body shop..they do sell every thing that u need thr..

how much is the cost for one session of brazilian wax? n where does the place located? thanks

I use a pumice stone on my heels!

I think the article just meant exfoliation - the same stuff you use to exfoliate your face? I'm pretty sure a pumice stone would hurt the skin on the underarm....

When you exfoliate, the dead skin cells are removed. Hence, the skin become lighter and enable ingrown hairs to be ....uh... grown, or at least pop out on the surface enough for you to remove it.

I'd really like to know how much laser removal costs as well.

I do not have the money to go for permanent hair removal,the best choice among all though.

Shaving will cause the hair to become coarser and in grown hair.
Hair removal cream is just like shaving,it's just that you don't use a razor.
Tweezer is just like a manual mini waxing.
Waxing is good,but no good for ultra sensitive area .But it will get all MESSY if you don't know how to do it and especially no one is helping you.Waxing the feet is easy though.

I'm currently using epiliator.It's just another form of tweezer ,except that it can pull out many hair instead of a tiny bit.Or a manual waxing you can say.Costed me RM300++(Panasonic) 1 year ago.The hair will grow finer but it's only effective if you actually pull the hair root out.Some tend to break in the middle.

using wax wont be painful meh. and will waxing cause hair to be grown UNDER the skin? like those ingrown hair.


second ting is, after using waxing or hair removal cream, when the hair starts to grow again, does it become MORE hair and DARKER?

I've been thinking about getting an epiliator, is it good? Does it hurt?

It's just like plucking your hair out,but with the aid of a machine. Better than shaving if you are talking about long-term result.

I always do mine at STRIPs-bangsar,jln telawi there near McD..rm88-all off Anyway, they're very well trained and do brazilian in 15min or less.. hmm..and you do waxing in private cubicle, so dont worry. Offers lots of other services too. i can say to you gals..satisfaction guranteed. oh-they do pedi and mani too.


UH-i just wanna know how much to do permanent underarm hair removal too..the one at bella? how many time for treatment? if rm1000++, then i rather wax evry month..haha

I got Nads wax. They showed it on Smartshop, but i didn't but it then. My friend from Aussie got it for me. My underarm bled abit.. Painfull, but hair didn't grow for a while.. hehe, in short : I wax myself. I mean, with the help of my mum

wat is a shy gurl like me wanna do on the private part?

shy and geli u know....

Not too mention, THE PAIN . haha.. xD

Brazilian wax? I wish to do, tried once myself to wax down south, but pain like hell.. end up tak jadi. My boyfriend would be happy if one day there will be empty wait for him.

Epilaptor hurtss!! but ull get used to it..it works tho..

y need to remove ? haha stays natural is better lol
jk anyway , jz use shaver n 1 time shave all

I usually do the plucking. It saves my cost but need lots of time. I wanted to try waxing tho. But I dont have the courage to go in a salon asking for a wax

i have very little underarm hair, so i just pluck them out when there's any. but i'm a bit obssessed with plucking hair though, i even pluck my bf's facial hair

if the plucking cannot clear everything ie. the thin, transparent bits then i just shave them. don't need to do it often though so it doesn't really concern me that much.

Few ways to remove hair from your armpit

1. Waxing - Clean and Easy but maybe painful to some. Best place to do it is Strip, Bangsar Baru. As you wax more often, you tend to have less hair growing back and then you may try DIY. It best to go to a pro first. Don't want to be lifting your arms up for a week!

2. Plucking - Using machines like Epiliator

3. Hair Removal Cream - This works but some of my friend says it darkens your skin. Your armpit area may become black.

4. Laser hair removal treatment - 4 to 5 courses will remove you hair permanently depending how much hair you have. Only set back is super expensive. Expect to pay few hundred bucks for 1 course.

i still dont understand...why u needed to remove your armpit hair?why can't let it grow?

actually do gals grow underarm hair like guys? i mean whole bunch.. usually from what i know if got oso like a few strands only rite? isn't plucking easier?

im thinking of waxing my armpits cuz shaving sure is making it dark a bit.

Girls with body hair is like a ..Vomit..

=.=" serious talk thread, what an retard

another retard...

well... for me.. i use veet ^^ simple... my sister opt for lazer... kinda works for her

*lucky to be a guy*

hi.. If you want to remove the unwanted hair in underarm. No harm to try in a beauty shop named Fleurs in Kepong and Sri Petaling. The permanent hair removal cost around RM 400. But you can go 1st trial at RM 99.

When I was younger and still have no hair on my body, my mom shared a secret with me. TAWAS or alum. It's that almost clear crystal like substance that people use in the old days to make the water in the perigi clear. You can get it at hardware shops. Or you can try the commercialised ones in the pharmacy. I used this on my underarm, the ones bought at hardware shops, seriously. And until today, believe me, I have NO UNDERARM HAIRS!

What is that and how to use the alum?

try and ask any hardware shops if they have 'tawas' or alum... i'm not sure what they're called in tamil or chinese... after you shower every day, you just wet it and rub it on your armpits. the tawas will get smaller and smaller every time you use it. then you buy a new one good luck! never shave under your armpits for the rest of your life!

just cabut la...if only few hair

cabut very tiring. Eyes pain. I tried counting the other day i i think more than 100 x 2 = 200+..

Batu Tawas is Aluminium Sulfate.... Is a chemical...
Are you sure it's ok to wipe on body?

In chinese they call 硫酸铝

here's the pic... i think aluminium sulfate is a type of alum, i'm not sure, really bad in chemistry. Anyways, i think hardware shops sells the ones in the pic above. They might have sharp edges at first, but they will smoothen out as u use them

Wow...
Thanks for even finding a picture.

How long have you been using that..?
(o.o) No side effects??

I used it for about a year when I was 13... At that time I haven't started getting underarm hairs... was smooth as a baby I have stopped using it since then. I am now 23 and hair free~

Darn, you're so lucky. O-o

i use tweezer and nivea whitening or rexona whitening. Very nice

hmm...too hard to believe. Is it safe?

i found an some solution here:
hope it helps;

http://www.dyuelife.com/dyuememore/index.p...eauty&Itemid=20

yeah i was wondering also. but i search for aluminium sulfate and i found this



I think it should be safe right?

People use pumice stones for calluses on your feet la... its a literally sand paper on your underarms

yup, used for treating water... that's what my mom told me... i used it before.. and i'm fine now hehehe...

This post has been edited by shikuzika: May 15 2008, 01:58 PM

wont be too rough for underarm???

Uh...wax hurt doesn't it? I use the cream since and just leave it grow before repeating the procedure next week. Ahahaha..I have scars all over so hairor not not a big deal coz wears lenghty clothes all the time.

I use an epilator - braun silk epil

sup... interesting

i really wonder if the alum thing works for men's facial hair too lol

1. Hair removal works
2. Waxing - clean, fast, bit painful. If the person that do for you is expert then won't have ingrown
3. Epilator - little bit pain but bit slower compare to waxing. will have ingrown if didnt do it properly
4. Plucking - clean but slow especially when you need to sit infront of the mirror suffering with the neck tilting one side (unles someone pluck for you )

How about darken skin?
Any way to cure if prevention is too late?

I saw some products that whiten the dark underarm.
But not quite sure if it works because I never tried any of it D:.

How about bumps on the underarm D:?
(@_@)".

uhm.. anyone here uses Rexona ?
Whats the main purpose of it ? so that it won't smells, or to make the underarm more smooth ?

the aluminium sulphate.. sure safe anot oh.. after the aluminium or wadever absorb into the skin.. eeks! x.x

i don shave it, it's like sweeper now !!!
