Waxing consists of either the cold or hot varieties. Cold waxing ( Aussie Nad's) requires spreading the cold wax onto the skin, applying a top sheet of paper that adheres to the wax, then ripping the paper off. May we emphasize the word ripping here?

It's painful, messy, difficult to do at home, and you have to let the hair grow to be 1/4 of an inch long before you can use it! Yuck! Who wants to walk around as hairy as a gorilla in order to remove it.

Hot Wax uses essentially the same methodology as cold waxing, but you give yourself the privilege of burning the skin first when you apply the wax. Best left to professionals.

The FDA says that depilatories work on your skin like "a chemical razor blade". They also say that chemicals that "destroy the hair can also cause serious skin irritations-possibly even chemical burns--if left on too long. That's what you need - a hairy upper lip with sores from your chemical burn ! Just Say NO! (source: Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow" FDA web site).

Permanent? NO

Pain Free? Hardly

The manufacturer's that make this torture devise actually had the nerve to call those electric disks that spin and rip your hair out - a Massager! These don't even remotely feel like a massage!

Those hand held electric razor sized multi-gripping devices that give you the opportunity to tear out more than one hair at a time. Sort of like roto-tilling your skin to get rid of the old crop of hair so a new crop can grow in.

Plus many of these products cost upwards of $70 and they're not even permanent!

Permanent? Pain Free? Are you serious? Tweeze one hair the old fashion way then imagine doing 30 or 40 hairs at a time.

Permanent: NO

Pain Free: NO

Expensive: Yes

Electrolysis is permanent! Here's the bad news... You will pay anywhere from $25 - $65 per hour to have someone else stick a needle into your skin and kill the hairs at the root.

Electrolysis kills hair at the the root by sending a wave or current through a needle. Plus it does not work as effectively on curly hair - because the hair shaft itself is not straight.

Permanent? Yes. Pain Free? No. Expensive? About 1500 bucks (if that's not expensive to you then we all want your life).

Our Clinical Studies concluded the electrolysis should never be used again because a safer, equally effective alternative exists in Finally Free.

First, to have Laser Hair Removal done in most states you need a plastic surgeon or a dermatologist... then, if that's not inconvenient enough many of you will have to go back again in three to six months when the hair grows back (Laser is not permanent. What they quote is permanent reduction- not permanent removal.)
