Nair or shaving?

Ok, so I have really hairy arms and it bothers me so much because im very self conscience and my hair is extremely dark. I’ve never shaved them before because I heard it just grows back within like a day and then its prickly until you shave again/. However, I was thinking about trying “nair”? Im scared though because I dont know if itll work alright or not and I have to wear a short sleeve shirt tomorrow! Should I try it and hope that it looks okay or just leave my arms hairy?.. Or I could shave? Help! Thanks.

Answer #1

I’ve done both. But I stopped using Nair because I couldn’t stand having to wait.
So, now I just shave. It’s really no trouble at all. My hair is actually thinner than before and it may be a little prickly at first, but it will go away. I just find it a lot easier to shave, instead of having to wait a while to remove the hairs.
My advice to you would be to try both out and see which you prefer.
Good Luck!

Answer #2

You can try if you want, hope it works.:)

Answer #3

I don’t know about you but nair burns like a mother!

Answer #4

I have used both and I find nair better because your hair doesnt grow back until like four weeks. Shaving on the other hand comes back in like a week or two.
