It has been argued that being a woman is a lot harder than being a man. I mean, obviously there’s that whole childbearing thing, but there are also an outstanding number of appearance maintenance issues. Clearly one of the most time consuming issues is hair removal – whether it’s shaving, plucking, waxing, or tweezing. And as if the time spent undertaking this task wasn’t enough, just think about the cost! But what choice do women have? It’s either hair removal or Amazonian status.
While you probably won’t be using this to get rid of your leg or under arm hair, the Natural Hair Removing Threader (Hammacher Schlemmer, $124.95) brings the latest trend in facial hair removal right into your home. You’ve seen those eyebrow threading booths everywhere (even in the mail) and as tempting as it would be to try it out, I don’t think I’d want strangers staring at me. Regardless if you’re new to the process or a seasoned veteran who’s tired of paying someone else to do this simple task, you can use this device to remove hair right at the follicle. What’s so great about that? Well since hair is removed from the root, the skin stays smoother longer than shaving or waxing. This kit includes a numbing lotion, rice powder (to absorb skin oils), and an after threading moisturizing lotion as well as nine months of hair removal threads.
The one big bummer about this set? It’ll take a long time before your purchase becomes cost effective.
3 out of 5 stars.
