Shaving and hair

[madmax178]

I've used the nair on my chest, it can irritate your skin, but remove a rug.

I would imagine that getting Nair in your eyes would not be a good thing.
Prolly why they say not to use it on your head.

How's that compare to a razor?? Seriously?

No stubble itch.

With shaving  I get stubble irritation in a day or two... with nair I don't get that at all.

And done!   

Nair'd my head today. I must say the darn thing works as advertised. A 4-days worth of stubble on my head came off with nary a hitch. For a bit afterwards, my head felt like it's been out in the sun too long...feels kinda warm.

Head's not as smooth as a freshly razor'd head, there's a minor amount of stubble left, sort of feels like fine velcro. I'm not sure if this is due to my hair being too long or too short before using Nair.

Question: if using Nair is like putting acid on your head, are there side effects from using it?  Any studies on long-term use?

This forum is great for asking questions...obscure or not!
