Hi there! I was wondering, what the best way to remove of extra body hair (legs, underarms and facial mainly, I have peach fuzz)? Not pubic hair (I trim it to prevent it from hanging out while wearing bathing suits). Something affordable as well. $30 per 6 months or less.

Do a waxing.
Even though it may be painful it's totally worthy.
You skin is way more smoother after waxing, compared with shaving.

If it's your first time waxing I strongly recommend you go to someone with experience, at a salon.

I also recommend to leave the peach fuzz alone. It's perfectly normal for girls to have it.

Well, I'm usually fine with just using a razor. ö.ö

I think it's better to leave peach fuzz alone, your hairs will get darker and thicker if you shave them. I'm blonde so mine are nearly invisable. If you have dark hairs I guess you could bleach them.

I plan to have electrolysis or laser hair removal when I'm older

You can always use Nair. It lasts longer than shaving, and it's pretty cheap.

I am going to buy some nair, some razors and these wax strips... Going to see what lasts longer and what I am more comfertable with

Laser only works if you have dark hair and light skin.

Laser only works if you have dark hair and light skin.

shit really?? how did you find that out?

I don't understand why dark hair would be different from blonde hair.

Something about the dark hair absorbing the light so it can burn the follicle. I read it somewhere online because I want to get it done and I'm glad I have dark hair and light skin.

But yeah waxing strips are great, if u do have a bush and are shaving - trim it really short first, less irritation from unnecessary passes with the razor

I shave it when I shave my legs and armpits in the shower no biggy but I don't have a super lot. I would say don't let your razor get dull.

if you have peach fuzz, you aren't old enough to get a waxing. I want one but mom says I have to be 18 to get a wax at the spa and she says never try to wax yourself, you can get terrible burns or pull your skin. and if you are shaving peachfuzz it shouldn't grow back as fast and actually if you shave peachfuzz you should be about ready to have pubic hair.

I think that depends on the place. I know some girls around my age who have gotten waxed at salons.

OH really! I'll check with my mom and see if I can get one somewhere else. My mom gets a brazilian like once every 6 weeks. she will never go back to shaving. I don't even think she owns a razor anymore. LOL

Go buy a No No, they are great for that exact thing. Google it. they cost about 20 dollars I think.. I started out trimming or shaving using my Dads mustache trimmer but I now have a No NO that my mom got me last year for Christmas, they work great. doesn't pull hair at all.

I tried a wax once...hell no never again lol I shave and have kicked around the idea of the no no...if you use nair make sure you don't get it in sensitive areas..I've heard ppl getting chemical burns O_O

I've been using this Nair facial cream for a couple months on my upper lip and it works pretty well. As for legs and underarms...I shave but my hair grows back fast as hell so I've wondered about waxing...
