I know, crazy huh? I'm thinking about getting some Nair for my arm hair, has anyone else ever done this? Does Nair work for bikini hair?

Thanks!

Before you slather that Nair all over you, try a little patch first. Nair makes me, and several other people I know, break out in a VERY uncomfortable burning rash.

Have you considered Laser Hair Removal? I have tried it all and finally decided to do Laser Hair Removal. So far I am really happy. If you want more details, send me a PM.

Oh, the arm hair! My arm hair is so long, I once pulled one out, taped it to a piece of paper, measured it at almost 5 inches long, and mailed it to my nephew who was totally grossed out! :)
TMI?
Anyway, with my arm hair that long, I am sure you can guess that I have tried EVERYTHING to tame it. The best solution I have found is to use hair cutting clippers with the smallest attachment on it. Then, (at least me) you have a controlled bush on your arm. Going all bare tends to look kinda funny - again - at least on me.
Good luck my hairy friend! :)

Try Veet, it works great. I use the senistive skin, you can use it as often as you need to.

I've never used it on my arms, but used on my legs Nair makes me terribly itchy (not to mention the ooky smell!). I prefer Veet.

I've found Nair or Veet a very clumsy process. It's like an acid that eats off your hair. So if you have remotely sensitive skin - expect a rash. It's also hard to balance leaving it on long enough for it to work and not so long that you have an unavoidable rash. I also didn't find it was much less of a problem with ingrown hairs or growing back immediately - than shaving.
