i was wondering which type of hair removal method is best, for best results etc. i used to wax my underarms, but that just got tedious. so i now use the epilator, but it doesnt do too well with my skin. i have this pink bump, i've had it for quite a while, its going away now though.. and because it pinches my skin sometimes, it blends a little.
so anyways, i was hoping someone could give me an idea as to what is the easiest, fastest and best.
i have a pretty busy lifestyle so something fast and easy would be greatly appreciated.

There isn't much else out there that is less time consuming and better. The main thing is upkeep. The pink bump could be an ingrown hair as a result of these hair removal methods. I would say for the next time you remove hair, either by waxing or epilating, you need to maintain the hairlessness every so often you start to see a little hair growing out. Pluck out each individual hair. That's what I've started doing. Waxing and epilating the underarm is not as effective because you have to wait until sufficient hair has grown out (for waxing, strips and the wax are expensive and for epilating, fine hairs that are starting to grow out are hard to grab by the epilator). With plucking, you can just remove the little hair as soon as you start to see it growing out. I have to keep up the process weekly and check for growing hairs and pluck when I have free time, but if you keep that process up, you don't have to do it in one sitting and waste a whole lot of time that way. So basically, start anew by waxing/epilating, then maintain by plucking. Looks neater too. [ hotpotato's advice column | Ask hotpotato A Question ]
