shaving

[jenscats5]

My hair is pretty light colored.....pits & crotch are darker but leg hair is blonde....I may look into the laser thing as well

After I ask about Botox!! I have a wrinkle right in between my eyebrows!!!!!!! Eeek!!!

I had no probs after shaving using the conditioner instead of soap, etc......I have a ton of those tubes of conditioner that come with hair color....so I'm going to use that for a while....

so ya'll think hair conditioner would work better than shaving cream? right now i'm using skintimate for sensitive skin.

RE: Waxing pain

A lot of it has to do with your waxer's technique. The pain can be greatly minimized if your waxer puts pressure on the waxed area for a few seconds immmediately after ripping the hair out. This seems to calm down the nerves. For areas where the skin is stretchy, the waxer should instruct you to pull the area taut before she rips.

Also, after getting an area waxed a few times, it seems to hurt less and less. The first few times are the worst. Taking some Motrin beforehand can help.

Yep, this really helped me.....plus she chatted the whole time, so that distracted me....

Where did you get it done every where?

Where did you get it done every where?

I've done laser hair removal on my legs, toes, underarms, and entire bikini area. Except for the hair on my head, I'm basically hairless now.

I want to get it done on my lip and chin. How was the pain? How many laser treatments did you need? When you say entire bikini do you mean brazilian style?

how expensive was that?? and how long did it take?

It's a little pricey at first but in the long run it is cheaper because I don't spend money on waxing and shaving gels.

I started doing it when it first became available a few years ago. I had a treatment whenever the hair started to come back and I had the funds. I've just been consistant with it so I've had success.

Where I go, you couldget your lip done for about $30.00, legs $200.00, underarms $75.00, bikini is around $125.00. I've heard it takes more treatments for the face though.


I do the entire bikini area....zero hair anywhere. It is a little painful but the nurse is cool and numbs the area with ice packs. There are also numbing creams you can buy to help.

Being consistentisthe key...even if you only go when you can afford it. I used to shave my legs EVERDAY- twice if I was going out. All the hair is basically gone. I have touch-up treatments on my legs for the little regrowth but that is once every 1-2 years.
