NoNo hair removal - anyone tried it?

[mygreyangel]

As above  😉  

They're a bit too pricy for me and would be interested to know if anyone had any experience to see if it was worth saving my pennies please?

[leoleoleo123]

Often wondered about that too... looks good, but pricey!

[notgrumpyreally]

Bought one, used it twice and since then it has sat in the bottom of the wardrobe.

[right-then-petal]

3 million sold in 50 countrys is not a lot

and Nearly pain free hahaha

and the hairs come back

ok i,ll get me coat

[notgrumpyreally]

It doesn't hurt so I don't know why they say that. It does smell of burnt hair! Think it's supposed to gradually kill it all off but it's a bit of a faff compared to grabbing a razor.

Not tried nono but a few years ago I bought a very expensive similar thing that I used a few times - a philips one. 

The problem with it was that you hold the machine over the area for a few seconds, then move onto the next bit etc.

But the area it does each time is tiny, so it was so time consuming. I think I might give it another go though. Or sell it

Burnt hair smell  !!     i'll stick to my epilator

[ed_blackadder_1]

Nope sorry, although I think I have tried everything else, shaver, epilator, razor, creams and electrolysis (Home not salon),

Nothing seems to work properly except the razor, anything electrical is in a drawer after being used a couple of times. They all seem to be a bit of a faff really.

OOOhhhhher i have never even heard of it. And im one of the hairiest people going!!!!!. Its soooo annoying and embarassing!!!.

I just tweezer me hairy chin every day, I go over it all the time. I cut my muzzy with a pair of scissors very carefully but can get close to the skin now.

[rose2008-2008]

CB my chin drives me mad,,, i even started shaving it with a razor a while back but stopped as it makes it smooth but then it gets worse. My chins really hairy and they grow back so quick. Even if i use those facial wax strips it still grows back at a rate of knots. oooerrrrr. I could grow a good MO for Movember ha ha ah ha ha ha ohhhhhh LOL.. I have thought about that laser treatment but that can damage your skin so they say.

I know how you feel,,,, and yes im always touching it too its a habit a bit like stroking a beard haaaaaa... Oh im laughinnnnnn now but i know its not funny. I do apologize. .

Its a chore i know ,, bless you.

I just use a blow lamp.......quick and efficient... and gives a lovely brown ,crispy finish......

[duck_a_lorange]

Best way is just not to wear your reading glasses, then you can't see them...

I use nail-clippers on those long curved ones, not too keen on scissors that close to my eyes.

I still remember the young lad at work, trying to grow a moustache.  I remember thinking, mine's better than that... bless.

[stroppy*cow]

Was tempted to try it, but two folks at work both said that it is really easy to burn yourself when using it, so that put me off.

Ask at your local college - often there are students who need folks to practice electrolosis on - often free or just a small charge.

When my son was I teen I said to him 

"Don't know who'll get facial hair first, me or you!!!!"

He was appalled & nearly leapt out of the car 

He still remembers it!!!!  *traumatised*

[wizilizi]

Oooh, who remembers hilarious threads about some 'Magic' hair removing stuff????

**those were the days, my friends**

[ginap.123]

Yep, I remember the 'gardening' threads 🙂

I thought 'My goodness, poor bovine, she MUST be hairy if after using the scissors she can now only just get near the sink!!!'  

And duck alorange, aren't those curly ones near your eyes called eyelashes?  I didn't know we had to cut those off too.

I don't know anything about all this as I've never had a hair on my legs in my life. 

[rose2008-2008]

I did mine last night, i have to get near to a naturally lighted window, but i make sure no ones looking in outside first LOL. I did it with the wax strips, but i cannot win, then after my skin comes up in red spots and bumps even if i put antiseptic or clean the area well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Then i look like i have a sunburn moustache rash!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
