What’s Inside: Nair No-Shave Hair Removal-WIRED

If you have a pilonidal cyst on your tailbone, which is a cyst that keeps reocurring time and time again, caused by ingrown hairs, just put nair on it every month lol

[SnakeWasRight]

Destroys hair at the root? Uh, no. Just the surface.

[nish]

It still smells like egg and doesn’t work completely

[srkjyr]

Someone put nair in a normal bottle of conditioner and a girl lost all her hair.

[kumottakun]

I wonder if it does anything for keratosis pilaris as they're literally plugged keratin, and according to this video, the cream is keratin busting... Hmmm 🤔

[brazybaby]

I used nair on my underarms and the pain I'm currently in makes me cry its hurt to raise my arms and everything send help-

[iamalittler]

I’ve literally never heard that jingle before. But it definitely does stink.

[saveUyghurs]

So will this stuff give me skin cancer or what?

[stalkingself]

Interesting video, I always wanted to know. But I stopped using products like nair because I wonder what it does to the environment when I throw it out....

[MenaceToSociety]

For reference here's how hairy my butt is right now-

[bibobebo]

Wait what wait, SULFUR? So if I'm allergic to sulfur when I digest it, will it effect my skin?

[harrygibbs]

It hurts to put on your ba...skin. Hurts to put on your skin.

[xBradRame]

You did not say anything in any way that I would ever care to think about.

[TonyWilliams]

One time my mother told me to tried this product under my hairy arm. And a experienced really bad painful rash spots bruising on my arms. I will never use this stinky stuff again. Just regular shave cream and razors.

01:08 I love how they barely speak about using palm oil (deforestation), and petrol based products pictured as cute little pockets near dinosaure skeletons...
Marketing at it's worst.

[Zetsuke]

Is it okay for facial hair like unibrow removal or will it fryburn my skin

[spai]

[edwardpakasi]
