Positive & Negatives of NAIR?

[Ghostvirus]

I have a real problem with shaving my head. My arm won't reach back behind my head, but I like having my head, because I have some hair recession issues.

Anyway, so I was thinking about using Nair to get rid of the hair on my head. Has anyone used it? What would be the negative of using Nair on my head?

I'd think that the skin on your head is pretty sensitive. Nair is very chemically and it can burn if you leave it on for too long. It works pretty well for legs/arms(not under) but I don't know about heads. You might want to test a little(it suggests that you do anyway) and see how that works out. It does get rid of hair though, that's for sure.

I wouldn't use Nair on the scalp. It burns sensitive skin and can leave it red for days. Maybe its best to just go to a barber if you can't do it yourself.

I wouldn't try it on the scalp. Like others have said, it can burn sensitive skin. I tried it on my leg a while back. I didn't leave it on very long at all, but I got a pretty nasty chemical burn.

cant argue with that.

Do a small skin test, first, with the kind specifically made for sensitive skin. I'd be really careful using it on your scalp

you could wax it and tape the experience and put it on youtube.

How can you not reach the back of your head?

short arms, low flexibility or an HR Giger alien like head.

Poor flexibility.

Thanks for all of yours help. I will definetely run a test first before using it fully. There is some Nair specifically for the body, so I will try that.
