Nair is a removal cream with in my experience only works if you have fine hair. It didn't work for me since I have thick hair. I'll suggest an epilator or waxing is the best solution.

Ok. I can't really wax because I don't have money to do that (13) so thats not really an option. but thnks.

It's a really harsh chemical that melts the hair off. I think it is horrible stuff. The after result is also pretty bad, you end up with major ingrown hairs. I would suggest trying waxing instead. if you aren't comfy laying down strips of wax on yourself you can try the pre loaded strips...

You can buy sally Hansen was strips at Wal-Mart or other drug stores. the hair grows back slower. there is also a technique called sugaring, YouTube search that... it's made of lemon sugar and water... cheap ingredients.

@shannon Get an epilator, it's almost the same as waxing.

Waxing can be expensive but it also last for about 3 weeks so it's worth it, better than buys a whole bunch of shavers for 3 weeks to shave every other day.

My experience with nair was awful my legs turned red because I had an allergic reaction and it smells completely awful for days even if you shower

Hi I'm a cosmetologist! nair only removes hair that is above the surface of your skin by eating away at the hair shaft. shaving cuts hair to skin level and thats what those black 'dots' are- the roots of the hair you shaved. neither nair or shaving remove hair, they just remove what is outside of your skin. waxing/threading/epilators actually pull the root from your skin and then it takes your body 2-3 weeks to regenerate those hairs.
if you choose to use nair make sure to follow the directions to a T. it will burn your skin if you don't.
