Hi, what is a good solution for vellus dark hair on large areas of the body if not laser hair removal? Thanks everyone.
There are two things that will work:
An easy acceptance of those small hairs or lots of electrolysis.
Many women wax regularly and then come to complain about ingrown hairs and skin reactions. I would get it done professionally in a very hygenic setting though and follow instructions to diminish the after effects.
This and the post above are both fishing posts. You can tell by the user name and the very generic content. You shouldn’t respond.
I shouldn’t have responded either =(
You’re right.
Hi dfahey, thanks for the suggestion. I’m considering electrolysis in the near future but still want to try out temporary solutions first for the dark vellus hair. As I said in my other post, I’m trying to find a combination of temporary treatments that’ll keep me hair free always…I hope it exists. Please help guys! Thank you.
Theofod, what’s in a user name? I’ve researched the forums and I’ve posted questions desperate for people to give their answers and suggestions. I dont know what the problem is. Please don’t encourage other people to not respond. It’s a forum and we all share ideas. Thanks.
People would not think you were a phoney if you did not register two different names in three days and post from both of them.
As said in the other thread you posted in, and all over the site, if you have the problem you describe, you run the risk of thickening, darkening, lengthening, and/or stimulating new hair if you use most temporary methods, other than shaving all the areas you find unwanted hair.
Hi, I don’t quite understand what you mean by phoney. How would that make someone phoney or fishy and what kind of mischief could one do on the forum? I dont prefer using my first or last name as my user name …anyway I didn’t come here to argue about my user name, I came here for people’s help and suggestions as well as for making my own contributions.
I already know the risks. I also know the risks of laser and electrolysis. However I’m willing to take risks for a solution.
Thank you.
PS What a great start I have. I found a great forum, and now I run the risk of people being hesitant to respond truthfully and honestly or even responding!
I actually thought nothing of your user name choice. Call me unobservant, but I answered your question and detected nothing fishy. I actually didn’t understand Theo’s comment??? I think he was calling my post fishy as well?
Thanks dfahey for helping me find a solution and thank you for being fair. I, like you, don’t understand it either.
I attempted to address what some find questionable.
Although I am sure you just typed, what for you, was the most meaningless thing for a screen name, that alone seemed fishy to some (check your spam folder for how many spammers use a lot of numbers in their username/screenname) then, on top of that, you registered two different screen names, with similar usernames, and used them both in a 3 day time span.
To old hands at the forums, that looks like you plan on doing something naughty.
Now, having said all that, you have still received polite replies to all your questions, even though you are asking them in lots of different places on the forum, instead of keeping them nice and neat in one post string, so people can follow your story and chart your progress.
I will chalk it up to the same misunderstanding I have with husbands and boyfriends who think that just because I may be removing hair from their wife or girlfriend’s private area, that I am also having an affair with her and using his money to finance it. I don’t see it, but many people other than me sure understand it, and think I am crazy not to expect it.
