Nair.. Total Junk, Doesn't Work. What does?

Question

I have very fair skin and very dark hair.  No matter how close I shave my legs, you can always see the hair under the surface.

I know how from a distance, or to another person standing nearby, this isn't detectable.  But I can see it, and I know it is there and it bothers me.

I have tried using Nair and it just will not work.  I can only remove patches of hair and it doesn't seem to get anything below the surface.  I always have to shave my legs after using it and even if I wait a day it just leaves them irritated.

Are there any hair removal creams that work or anything else I can try, besides waxing or using sugars?  I don't want to use at home waxing kits or products like Nads.  They're messy.

I know exactly what you are talking about - my skin is also very fair with very dark hair and I have tried everything to remove my hair.
I know you mentioned that you are not interested in using waxing, I just wanted to tell you that I solved my problems by getting my legs and armpits waxed professionally (all together is $60.00) which I know it is more expensive than shaving but it lasts almost 6 weeks!!!! (which I love most - I used to shaved my legs daily!) ....... and I can tell that now after 2 year of waxing hair is much thinner then before.

I hope my answer helped.

Good luck.

I have had the same problem.
Check out Sally Hansen spa wax hair removal kit.
It's lavender scented, for sensitive skin, and microwaveable.  OH YEAH,...it's only around $10 for 6.0 oz.  It includes spatulas, cloth strips, and oil.
NOTHING like Nads, and really not like regular wax.
I used it on my 14 yr. old daughters brows, and was not messy or painful.

i never had problems with nair so you might not be leaving it on long enough. nair and shaving do not mix pick one or the other. i also have use veet with the bladeless razor it seemed to work well with stubborn hairs.

try waxing!!!  get prewax strips -- they aren't messy..
and if u actually get good wax, it won't be messy -- u just have to wait 2 or 3 weeks before waxing...but just don't try the honey wax ****...it doesn't workXD=D
good luck!!!

dont use veet!!! im warning you, it cut up my legs.  i know this might not be anyhelp but go to your local wal mart (or whatever store you have) and go down the hair removal isle.  i think it starts witha "m" but it works well (sorry, i cant remember the name)
