Title: hair removal
Post by: awilliams1701 on June 28, 2014, 12:15:40 PM
A couple of weeks ago I made the mistake of shaving the upper half of my legs. Basically the areas that I could get away without anyone noticing. The results seemed ok at the time. Last week I tried hair removal cream, but it wasn't long enough to get the full effect. This week I tried it again and it worked really well, but now I have the problem of ingrown hairs from shaving 2 weeks ago. From what I've heard this is only a problem with shaving. I would recommend anyone else looking for simple hair removal at home, don't shave.

Does anyone know what I should do now? Do the hairs eventually work their way out or do I need to actively try to free them?
