I got threaded!

I am hairy, as how you may call it, I have hair in my arms and legs, not coarse hair but still considered hairy than the usual. I have not tried shaving neither my arms nor my legs, though I wanted to see how my skin would look and feel like if it was hair free, because I was afraid that the maintenance would be very high if I started doing it. But now I took the plunge, I got it threaded in a salon, but now I am worried on how I will maintain it once it starts growing back. Do you have any advice or maybe a tested solution or procedure on how to remain hair free? I would really appreciate good responses here..

I think that the most painless way is to use hair removal creams like Nair. While they may stink it doesn't hurt :) I would say the longest lasting would be waxing but it would also be the most painful. I think you get used to the pain after awhile though. Does threading hurt? I have never had the opportunity to try it.

I actually wish it doesn't grow back, like some sort of permanent hair removal, but I am not completely sure of the side effects and outcome of laser or electrolysis and the like. I haven't tried waxing, so I do not know which one hurts more.. but threading wasn't as bad, well of course it did hurt especially when the longer hairs are being pulled out, kinda like a tingling and pricking sensation.
