Nair is better than shaving. It's not better than waxing. It's important to exfoliate after using Nair. If you don't exfoliate, you may get irritated. If you're not comfortable with stubble, go for waxing.
For best results, apply Nair™ in a thick, even layer to cover all the hair you want to remove. Let it be, and let it work its magic. Then gently remove all of the product with a damp washcloth or sponge to reveal gorgeous, hair-free skin.
Hair removed via Nair will not itch as it grows back. You aren't creating itchy stubble; the hair is falling out.

Avoid using the cream if you have any cuts or abrasions. Trim your hair before applying the cream. Thick and long hair can be a difficult task to remove and keeping the cream for a long time can cause potential injury to your skin.
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.
No, depilatories do not affect the rate your hair grows back, nor the thickness of the hair shaft. Can I sunbathe after using Nair™ products? No. It is advised that you wait at least 24 hours before heading out into the sun.

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.
