Longer-Lasting Results Because Nair™
Hair removal creams and razors do not cause hair to grow back faster. They work by removing hair from the surface of the skin, and repeated use may lead to finer regrowth over time. However, hair growth rate is largely determined by genetics and hormonal factors, not the method of hair removal.
Shaving cuts hair at the surface, which can make it feel coarser as it grows back, but it doesn't change the hair's actual characteristics. Nair works by chemically dissolving the hair, which can lead to a softer regrowth compared to shaving.

There are clear instructions on the bottle, and on the official website. Their recommendation is to wait at least 72 hours (3 days) between applications.
Please note that Nair™ for the bikini area can be used in grooming hair around the genitals but should not be used directly on the genitals.
Electrolysis, which zaps hair follicles with electric current, is the only hair removal method the FDA calls permanent. It suits all hair types and ethnicities. Many transgender people choose it for its effective, lasting results.
Both methods remove hair at the skin's surface. Compared to shaving, depilatory creams don't irritate the skin and leave fewer skin lesions or papules. The irritation from hair removal cream usually fades faster than the small nicks and cuts you may get from a blade.
Nair™ Spa Sugar™ Wax Hair Remover provides an even gentler alternative with 100% naturally derived ingredients. Like all Nair™ hair removal products, Nair™ products for the bikini area are safe when used as directed. They're made for use near but not directly on your genitals.
Is Nair Bad For You Long Term? If you do not experience any irritation with short-term use, then it will likely be safe for you to use long-term. If you have sensitive skin and notice irritation from Nair, using it long-term could lead to chemical burns and blisters.
Depilatory creams work by dissolving the hair just below the surface of the skin whereas shaving sharply cuts the hair off at the skin surface. This means you're not left with prickly stubble. Also, Nair™ products help moisturize and exfoliate your skin.
Not only does Nair™ remove hair, it also gently exfoliates to reveal radiantly smooth skin. Shaving, on the other hand, removes hair at the skin's surface. Because the hair is cut at a blunt angle at its widest point (just above the root), regrowth is visible faster and can look thicker (although it's not).
Electrolysis is permanent—and thus, longest lasting. Laser hair removal lasts up to six months and can be permanent with repeated applications, but works better on some people than others. Plucking hairs individually with tweezers lasts up to eight weeks.
The new hairs from the plucked follicles erupted at the skin surface some 10 or 11 days after plucking. Thus, once mitotic activity has begun, the organization of the follicle and its upgrowth through the skin takes about 7 days in a plucked follicle compared with about 5 days in normal follicles (Johnson, 1958).
Set a timer for 10 minutes. That's the maximum amount of time the Nair™ cream can stay on your skin. Shower as usual, keeping the skin where the cream has been applied away from the direct stream of water. Perhaps sing a little tune while you shower - because this is gonna be good.
Avoid getting Nair inside your vaginal canal or near your rectum to reduce the chances of infection. Coat the vulva, vaginal canal, and rectum with a layer of petroleum jelly to prevent the cream from getting inside. After waiting for a few minutes (between 3 to 10 minutes), wipe off the cream with a soft washcloth.
Nair™ Body Spray hair removers can provide for simple, no-touch application. The canister sprays upside down so you can easily handle those hard-to-reach places like armpits. These sprays make quick work of underarm hair.
What are the disadvantages of depilatory creams? Some hair removal cream side effects are that they contain chemicals like thioglycolic acid, calcium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide which can cause irritation, darkening, skin damage, allergic reactions, and first and second-degree chemical burns.
Warm water hydrates and softens your pubic hair and skin for an easier cut. So, shower for a few minutes before you dive into shaving down there. In the meantime, you can wash the rest of your body…or practice your karaoke faves. Lubrication is essential for shaving, especially when you're shaving pubic hair.
Electrolysis. This method sends an electrical current through a hair follicle, which will damage the follicle and prevent hair from growing. Because hair grows in cycles, it takes several sessions to get permanent hair removal. You'll also find kits that allow you to perform electrolysis at home.
So what is sugaring? Sugaring uses a paste made from sugar, lemon juice, and water. It's applied against the direction of hair growth and whisked away in the direction the hair grows. The paste often has to be reapplied several times for the best results.
"Epilation may be painful as the hairs are pulled out of the skin from the root. Shaving isn't painful, but can lead to skin irritation and razor burn." I consider myself someone with a relatively high tolerance for pain, but I found it pretty uncomfortable.
