Depilatories
How They Work: A depilatory is a cream or liquid that removes hair from the skin's surface. They work by reacting with the protein structure of the hair, so the hair dissolves and can be washed or wiped away.

How Long They Last: Several days to 2 weeks

Pros: Depilatories work quickly, are readily available at drugstores and grocery stores, and are inexpensive. They're best on the leg, underarm, and bikini areas; special formulations may be used on the face and chin.

Cons: Applying depilatories can be messy and many people dislike the odor. If you have sensitive skin, you might have an allergic reaction to the chemicals in the depilatory, which may cause a rash or inflammation. Depilatories may not be as effective on people with coarse hair.

Tips: Read product directions carefully and be sure to apply the product only for the recommended amount of time for best results. Before using a depilatory on pubic hair, read product labels to find one that says it's safe to use on the "bikini" area or genitals.

Are you talking about a Brazillan bikini wax? Then the best bet is wax it at the spa…
An ordinary bikini wax should only be $15 at the nail saloon.
Anwways, i've tryed shaving and the cream hair removers and they leave me skin so irrated.
The at home wax systems don't work at all.

I hate Nair and would not recommend it bc of my experience with it. It irritated me a lot and made my skin red. It might just be me, but i had some friends tell me they had the same problem. I totally recommend VEET. i've used it in between my eye brow, above upper lip, arms, legs, and armpits. It leaves my skin sooooo super soft I love it! My hair hasn't grown darker from the first time i used it…it grows the same. Yes it does take it all away, but it grows. If you never want to see hair then you will have to do a laser treatment. VEET is sold ar walmart! =)

Hope this helped! =)

1/4 inch long , and mostly any wax you can by from a beauty supply store will do the trick

For my legs i use nair lotion baby oil. IDK if it's the best but it works for me
Yes it does take off all the hair but u have to let it stay on your legs three minutes or more. Less than 3 min doesn't burn the hair off, but don't keep it on too long or it will really burn. It does burn regardless but not as bad if u keep it on too long,
IDK if it makes the hair darker cuz the hair on my legs are black so idk
Yes it is sold at walmart….it cost about $9 for a 9 oz

usually your body will adapt to shaving. I've been doing it for years now and don't have any probs.

Waxing will last longer.

Hair removal products work, but not that great at first, depending on length it may leave it patchy so you will have to redo it. Also doesn't really last, about the same as shaving.

i use a hard body wax from Gigi. you can buy them at sally beauty supply. you will need to purchase a warmer to go with it, but they're not too pricey. i am most happy with this product than any other product out there for brazilan wax. nothing works quite like it. the more you use it the more sparse the hairs will be when they grow back. (meaning it appears to grow back a lot thinner) it HURTS at first, but your tolerance for pain really does get higher as you use it. i have no problems doing a brazilian wax on myself OTHER than the fact that sometimes it's hard to reach certain areas…so just get a pillow lean against it on the bathroom floor and put a large full size mirror infront of you and it shouldnt be too difficult. its frustrating the first couple times you use it but once you get the hang of it it's awesome (and easy) the best way to minimize pain is to apply the wax WITH the direction of hair growth, tighten the skin (stretch the skin in that area) and pull FAST in the opposite direction of the hair growth. works amazingly and you can use it all over your body. no irritation for me. you may want to go get a brazilian wax from a spa and get the feel for it before you spend your money on that. some people cant tolerate the pain.

I use Nair on my upper lips and above my eyebrows. I buy the one used for face only. The applicator is angled and easier to use.
