I'm not happy with waxing ladies. I find it painful in salon and at home but I don't like the substance used and that the hair need to be 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch.

Using Veet gave my legs coarse hair so I wasn't able to remove hair shorter than 1/2 inch. Even if I manage with it for now, it can't work for me on a long-term basis. I wouldn't like to let the hair grow for it to be waxed. I'm now considering shaving and laser hair removal.

I'd also like to tell you that Veet only gives smooth skin if you have fine hair and it makes hair grow back thick, so there is no way you can keep using it. I have fair cool skin tone and coarse hair growth. The benefit of being half-Indian and half-English is that you can look really beautiful with thick trimmed eyebrows but hair removal can be hard if the hair gets too coarse, like it has on my legs.

You might have heard that if your hair is longer than 1/2 an inch then you need to shave it and come back for waxing after a couple weeks but I'd recommend cutting it with scissors. It's what I do when I haven't done hair removal and I'm in a hurry, cut hair from the roots. Share in your experiences below. Hair removal is a journey in itself.
