is an epilator good? ive been lookin for a good way to get rid of my leg hairs. rn im doin an experiment to see if waxing is worth it.
but tbh waxing takes so long n idk if its worth it because of the time n the results werent that good. didnt get all the hairs n stuff
would u reccomend an epilator?
epilator hurts a lot in the beginning, you gotta be prepared for that. for me it has definitely been worth it. i have thick dark body hair and i have for a long time struggled to find the best way to remove it. been through waxing too but i thought it was too messy and time consuming.
i have had a bit of a struggle, especially on the legs, where the hair wouldnt be pulled out but instead break off and i wouldnt be completely smooth. i think about 70% of my hair gets pulled out and the rest breaks off. idk if its just me or the epilator isnt good enough (i think its me tbh). i have patches on my legs where the hair doesnt grow out anymore and supposedly over time the hair will get thinner and weaker i think. and it takes weeks for the hair to grow out, so your legs will look nice and smooth for a long time
but especially in my bikini line this has been a lifesaver. gained so much confidence from that and i feel comfortable wearing a bikini now
you gotta be aware that when using an epilator you can be more prone to ingrown hairs, but theres creams for that! i use a body lotion with tea tree and finish with aloe vera gel. you gotta take care of your skin after the torture you put it through lol
i can definitely recommend, would say the only real downside is the pain, but it gets better !!
i use the braun silk epil 9 and would say its quite good. it has a light which makes it very helpful to see if you got all the hairs and stuff. the battery time is great and its waterproof as well
i think i might actually check it out. im fine with pain. thank u
