« on: 22/04/2007 16:26:38 »

    It doesn't work well at all for me, so who knows.. I think me leg hair is to stiff like whiskers.. lol I can't let them get away or their impossible to control LOL I don't like the creams, but me daughter said the new cremes work better then the ones I used, so you have to try it out and see. I would hope it wouldn't burn your lovely head!

    Paul - before doing your entire head, you probably better just test it on a small area.  It affects people differently.


    .........or you could always wax! [;D]

    Wax works with stubble. [;D]

    I'm not sure about the cream....it does on legs, but the hair on your head may be too course.  Try a little patch and see, if it doesn't remove the hair and doesn't burn, then you probably need to wait a few days for it to grow a little longer.

    LOL....I know, I was just kidding...kind of.  I waxed my sons eyebrows and the poor boy nearly came unglued.  I know it's mean, but it made me giggle! [;D]

    I hate those creams, everytime I use them I get one hairy patch remaining on my leg and then one burned patch somewhere else! I would reccomend waxing it, it really doesnt hurt that much, and I would imagine that the scalp can take a bit of pain anyways, can it? I've never waxed my head, but Im thinking that it will hurt alot less then say the inner thigh...

    those creams smell and the hair grows back pretty much at the same rate as shaving them!

    it's an age thing ben. when you get older sometimes your hair starts dissapearing at the sides and a hole in the top...add in a little grey and its much better to just shave it off

    I hate shaving my head all the time as well. But I only go down to a #1, I expect when I get older I'll go with the blade [;)]

    Although I had a dream a couple of nights back. I had a load of hair, more than I've had in years. It felt really good pushing it back and just generally playing with it [;)]
    Sometimes I do miss having long hair, but mine is horrid. My hair is really thick and I hated it at school as I used to get called "Bush". And because it rains over here more than it's sunny, putting gel or whatever is not always a great idea...........well I guess it depends on whether or not you like the taste of gel in your mouth  [::)]

    I thought that maybe one day I might shave my head - but not out of vanity. but simply when I get too much hair on my head my brain overheats - it is always such a relief when I get a hair cut, and my head feels cool again.
