does nair work on....

**liztic** · 10-21-2003, 08:33 PM

what's up !! i'm thinking of giving Nair a try, but does it work on thick hair? i've got fairly thick back hair and i'm not sure if the nair will work!! and how the hell can you reach your back to put it on?

punk is right it's great to get the hair off but after that it's easier to just shave..... Warn you now it smells! Also if you don't get all the hair off the first time do not put more nair on to try to get the rest off.

The only thing I notice that nair does keep the hair from groing back as quick.

I'll second that! I won't use nair again for that reason. I think I still have a little scarring from the burns! I wax my back every three-four months with very good results. If you've never had any waxing done, let me assure you that it doesn't hurt as bad as you think it might.

I hate nair, thats just my opinion. I used it once, and never will again. It stinks really bad, and I had to apply it several times to get all the hair off my legs, which left me with some major burnage. And definitely don't get it too close to the boys, talk about hurts.

I use nair for my private region. Too many curves and stuff for the razor. I put a SMALL amount on my ball sack and only after I applied it every else so that it is the last part with nair so it isnt left on so long. The nut sack takes only like 3-5 minutes then use a towel to wipe it off and let the other stuff sit for a couple minutes more.

BTW. What kind of wax product works for the back?
Where can I buy it.
I have fine baby hairs that I want removed and I dont wanna shave it. I figure waxing will last for a good 2 years.

I use Nair all the time. I use it for my chest, arms, and back. It should work on your back, as long as you apply it thick enough. I thick all these guys who get burns from it leave it on too long. Reaching around your back is a little tricky. Believe it or not, I use a cake spatula. Even with that I still miss a few spots though.

if you are applying a depilatory like nair it is best to stick to accessible sites that you can monitor progress...you don't want to leave it on any longer than you have too....they work because they have an extremely high ph that dissolves the hair....and can take skin with it...aka chemical burns...
unless you can have someone help you do it and help watch it and check it every few minutes i wouldn't try this...you'll either end up with patches of hair that didn't dissolve and smooth areas...or a nice chemical burn on your back
maybe consider getting it waxed...seriously, lots of guys are going to get it done and it lasts a little longer than shaving or 'nair'ing cuz they are ripping the hair out all the way down in the follicle...it sounds painful but a good waxer should make it as painless as possible
