For a girl, I'm quite hairy. I have facial hair that grows a lot and never stops, so removing the hair is something I have to do at least twice a month. I've tried all three techniques of hair removal and so far my favorite is plain ole tweezing. It's quite painful and takes a lot of precision, but it's the best way to keep the hair at bay. Shaving is the easiest and most painless, but my hair grows back right away. Waxing is not as painless, but sometimes not all the hair comes off.

What about you? What's your choice method of removing unwanted hair?

I'm a leg shaver and a eyebrow/upperlip waxer.

I tried tweezing, but it hurts to much, with the wax it's just one rip and I'm done.

I will tweeze in between waxings though.

If you have facial hair thats annoying to you I suggest using Salon wax (without strips its creamy and you spread the wax straight onto the skin wait for it to cool then pull it off) it grabs a lot better. The wax that you use with strips does not grab as good.
I used to shave my legs etc.. but I got sick of it growing back so fast, so now I am a convert to waxing and I'll never go back. It doesn't hurt that much after the first time.

Have you ever used that wax called Nads? I think that's what it's called.

I started to get some one time but it was a little more than I could spend at that time.

I would like to try it, have you tried it?

I have used that Nads wax that you heat in the microwave and then used it with cotton strips. It was ok but this wax is much better http://www.pharmacyonline...

I used to shave with the shaver when I was younger, But now I use Nair.. To me this is much easier.. I don't have to worry about, getting knicks and cuts.. It is so easier.. I just have to wipe off in a certain amount of time.

I would rather suggest you to bleach your face.. You need not remove them.. Removing the hairs will again lead to faster growth of hair.. Instead you can bleach your face and hide the hair.. This will work out well if you have an ordinary or more fair skin color.. Because if u have dark skin, the hair will start looking golden..

Bleaching will brighten your skin color too. This is two-in-one solution!! Hope this helps you out.. happy

tweeze... although it's painful i prefer tweezing the unwanted hair so that i won't have to do it regularly and so that they won't grow thicker and harder like those in our head. when you just tweeze the unwanted hair, when they grow back they'd still seem like the baby hair you have always had since you were born. especially the hair in your legs. as for myself though, i don't remove my hair in my legs. i'm also a bit hairy for a girl but i don't have much of that uwanted hair.

the most convenient probably is laser hair removal. although a lot expensive, you won't have to worry about the hair growing back. it's a permanent hair removal. if i would have enough money to allocate for aesthetics, i'd have my underarm hair permanently removed. but you know it's not my priority so i'd probably stick to the conventional ways for a very long time. but you may want to try that method.^_^

Threading is my choice in getting my unwanted facial hair removed. It's one of the safest ways to remove facial hair and you only have to get it done once a month. But you have to get it done at a salon because it's difficult to do it by your self. I have alot of hair too and I always get my legs and arms waxed at a salon. If I go to do it myself it becomes a real mess. But there are rare occasions that I shave my legs. When I was younger I use to use Nair hair remover but I found that hair grows back within a few days like when I shave.

I shave my legs every week, although sometimes I use a cream... But I find shaving faster, that is why I seldom used the cream because of the waiting process.

I shave my legs and underarms every other day. My hair also grow very fast and it much easier just to shave in the shower and get it over with. I tweeze my eyebrows and upper lip. It takes time, but it last alot longer! I tried waxing one time and its not my thing.

I used to use wax as my means of getting unwanted hair but just like you, not all of the hair came off. So I just used shaving instead. It's painless but I just hate it when hair grows back in all the visible places.

if it's eyebrows your talking about then i tweeze...but i have lost half of one eyebrow because i have done this since an early age, so now i have to pencil one in so they look even...if you mean legs then i use hair remover, it lasts for a few weeks, but with me having fair hair you can hardly see the hair on my legs, if it's under arms you mean, i have to do that every week or so because the under arm hair grows back faster then any other part of my body....so i shave that area....bikini line....well i use wax strips...it doesn't hurt as much now because i do like to keep them "short" so when i wax,there's no stray hair that's gonna hurt when i pull on the wax strips....
