Sorry if there's already a thread like this..

What's th best way to try and get rid of underarm hair?? Shaving sux because it leave behind stubble and causes ingrown hairs, waxing is difficult because of the direction of groeth and only gets rid of some hairs and it REALLY REALLY hurts. Hair removing lotion burns when I try to use it there and doesn't really work.

Does anyone else have any suggestions?

I shave.
I hate the hair that takes like forever to grab, especially it abraves my skin more.

I avoid wearing tank tops most of the time because I hate the black dots on my underarm, but at least they aren't that visible when I wear short sleeves.

Wax is probably the best bet. For me, anyway. Waxing doesn't hurt for me.

i pluck. takes longer tho.

^ Isn't it hard to see where you're plucking?

You must be very bendy.

waxing. it doesn`t hurt after the first few times.. for me that is..

wow that would take me like an hour!!

^ Uh .. ew. That's nice.


I don't have ANY hair there. I shaved like three times in my whole time and took out like three hairs. Ahaha

Plucking or waxing is the best.

plucking it..but that may take you a while.

o0o or you can try nair/veet. i don't know how well it works because i never tried it before.
if you do plan to do that, come back and tell us if it worked

The hairs are so tiny u'd need a magnifying glass.

Ahhhhaha. Okay. You aint gotta be explaining.

shave it?

Hair removing lotion sucks.dont use it.you better wax.....:S

just shave it 0_O

are you that insecure about it?

if not use like nair or something like that
if they burn well then aparently your going to have to wax it.
and have to get used to it

oh yea! for the black spot' you can try to cover it up with concealer.. if your that paranoid

the black spots. you usually get from shaving or waxing a lot so yeah..

nair? if it works on legs it could work on underarm hair...but i think you shold trim befre useing it

i shave

If the hairs are so small you would need a magnifiying glass to pluck them, then why do you really need to have them gone completely?

I shave. I don't have much hair there so for me it works. I don't know about you. You can also pluck, but it is time consuming.

Waxing down there? Ouch!

Shave, though you can get it waxed, but it probably hurts really bad.

.....




I mean the stubble it's hard to get rid of. It seems like the majority wax. Can u guys recommend any brand???

I wax them cuz shave sucks. Even though it is hard to wax them but the result is Freakin BETTA than shaving. LOL!

Pluck it.
It's another [not-quite-painless] alternative.

VEET NO WAY I JUST USED VEET THIS WEEK AND NOT ONLY DID IT SMELL, TAKE AWAY ONLY SOME OF THE HAIR, BUT IT ALSO BURNT ME. I NOW HAVE SCABS ALL OVER MY LEGS FROM THE BURNS!

DO NOT USE VEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just shave it. I mean it's not worth the trouble. It doesn't grow back that fast.. or at least it SHOULDN'T...

um shave it?

hmm. i used to pluck, but it's too time-consuming. i just shave.

I shave, but there has to be a better way. I wanna try waxing, but I'm sure that'll hurt. I may try nair or veet.

i read a topic like this and some suggested sugaring. o_O anyone heard of it before?

i searched it up and it says its like waxing...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugaring_%28epilation%29

don't use veet. It smells like trash for days. I used it on my legs and it was horrible.

Pluck by far, but take a long time and kind of hurt tho.

i usually just shave, and then deoderant helps smooth it out. maybe you could try using conditioner when you shave, it makes your skin softer, and you shave in the direction of your hair growth.

you could also try threading! my favorite place is ziba: www.zibabeauty.com

Laser hair removal if you've got the time and money. I personally use Veet Rapid Action Hair Removal Lotion and I think it works wonders, party because I don't really have any hair on my pits to begin with. Normally, I just pluck a stray hair whenever...

BTW, Veet is actually a miracle unless you have skin sensitivity. In fact, my skin is very sensitive however, I always get fast acting results. Maybe you guys just have a lot of hair, that's why it's not working?

i just shave...i'm kinna scared to wax...cuz i know its gonna hurt...and i don't mess with all those lotions n stuff...

That's really interesting. There's even a recipe for it. I've never tried sugaring, but since waxing there was a horrible experience and shaving is a pain, I might just try this.

i use veet and it works fine for me
maybe you left it on to long
i did that once and my legs itched all day

I just shave.

I didn't know there was another way to get rid of underarm hair besides shaving.

And I heard that Veet sucks on legs, so, I don't see how it would be any good on underarm hair.

ok..... Doesn't Plucking Hurt?

I just shave...idk what to tell ya.

well thats some good information there.

anyways, i shave.
shaving is a goodway.. i think. haha.
all i know is i do it.

I wax and then pluck the remaining hairs. Plucking doesn't hurt as bad after you've waxed. Probably because your nerves are so dead after the waxing,
