The Guru Index verdict

~Mixed · 66%What the gurus are saying
Experts found that chemical depilatories like Nair dissolve hair rather than cut it, which means a smoother tapered end that's less likely to cause ingrown hairs or the nicks and folliculitis shaving can bring. The critical catch is timing: leaving it on too long causes painful rashes, so strict adherence to instructions and prompt rinsing is non-negotiable. Patch testing on the inner arm first matters, especially for facial use, and anyone considering it on the face must be careful to avoid brows and other hair meant to stay.
