Waxing vs shaving
Our take
Navigating the world of hair removal can be a challenge, especially when dealing with stubborn hair growth and skin sensitivities. After three years of waxing full legs and underarms, one user shares her frustration with persistent ingrown hairs and unsatisfactory results despite a strict aftercare routine. As a 25-year-old woman with PCOS and dark, curly hair, she seeks advice on transitioning to shaving and recommendations for effective products. If you’ve faced similar struggles, join the conversation and share your tips for achieving smooth, irritation-free skin.
 | I (25f) have been waxing at a chain for almost 3y my full legs and underarms, different locations but consistent on waxers. They always tell you to be consistent with waxing for your progress but if I’m honest I’m just not seeing great results still after 3y. I am Hispanic and have PCOS and grow a lot of very dark and curly hair. I get such bad ingrowns every time, I’ve tried every product under the sun and have a VERY strict after care routine that just isn’t working for all the money and time I’ve spent during my waxing journey. These are just from this lazy waxing session April 8th. Anyone with this type of problem what do you do? It’s just not worth it to me anymore any tips on what shaver to use when I switch or possibly more products to try lol [link] [comments] |

This has absolutely broken any sense of comfort i had in my body i feel so disgusting and ugly, but i dont know how to get rid of them, theres no set 'cleansing routine' i follow pre and post waxing because ever since i started, which was like 3rd grade, this has never happened. is it my doing? am i going to the wrong waxing people? should i try epillating instead? (i do it for my face usually), or shaving? (never tried thinking hair would come out rough. i could really use any advice on how i can get rid of these spots, ingrown and bumpy hair, and the 2 hair in one sithc, please. submitted by /u/curiouscaterpillar44 [link] [comments]

- Advise on hair removalI never had a problem with shaving my legs but it’s been an issue for more than a year now & it irritates my skin after I shave. I have tried exfoliation (with gloves & chemically) moisturizing, men razors, regular women razors, and single blade razors. And different types of shaving cream. I get super itchy and irritated . Should I just take the loss and just wax now? submitted by /u/Other_Resolve9026 [link] [comments]
- Ingrown hair helpHello! I started waxing my leg hair with roll on wax for a few months, but i started noticing a lot of ingrowns. I exfoliate twice every week by default with salt scrubs and exfoliating gloves, and usually Wax the day after when i start to notice some growth, and after i use hydrating cream and coconut oil. Unfortunately Laser hair removal is out of the picture, since my hair are quite light. I'm quite scared to use chemical exfoliators because I have really sensitive skin, but if it might help my problem, i might try. Also, sorry for bad english, and thanks in advance for the help! submitted by /u/Canliure [link] [comments]
