Braun Silk Epil 7 Skin Spa Model 7951 - Review

Hi friends, if you remember I did a post long back on a nifty little product to do facial hair removal at home. Today I am reviewing a product that you can use all over your body for easy hair removal. Braun's Silk Epil 7 Skin Spa (model 7951) is an epilator, shaver & spa all in one. This is a long post because there is just so much to talk about here. Its also picture heavy but I hope you will find this useful. I also have a comparison note where I talk about how this new Silk Epil 7 is different from the earlier Silk Epil that I've been using.

What is Epilation?

For those of you who are new to epilation let me first explain a bit about the process. Basically epilation involves removal of hair from the roots by plucking it out using a machine called the epilator. Hair is removed from the roots hence the hair takes longer to grow back and over time the hair becomes thin and sparse. In these terms it is almost like waxing except there is no mess involved. For those of you who are used to waxing, the pain is similar or less (depending on your sensitivity) but the good part is while waxing doesn't work on small hair or during humid/rainy days, epilation works perfectly.

Saheli - Thread It - Now Threading Made Easy and In Your Hands - Review

My post on facial hair removal using the Sleek Face Wax was quite appreciated (you can read it HERE) and today I am more than glad to share another facial hair removal technique. This time it is a unique product called Thread-It. The product is a handy tool that can be used anytime and can pluck out even the finest of hair.

What the Company Claims about Saheli Thread IT

"Thread It' is a specially engineered facial hair remover tool. It has been designed to be used by women to remove unwanted hair from the upper lip, chin, under chin, cheeks, jaw line and neck areas. It is a simple, safe, easy to self-use tool and provides better value for money than any other hair removal product.

The concept of 'Thread It' is similar to Threading. When the handles are rotated, the hair gets caught in the precision coils and is plucked from the roots.

The coils have been carefully designed to pluck even the finest  of the hairs."

How To Wax Your Upper Lips at Home

A lot of girls have upper lip hair and need to regularly go to the parlour to thread it away. Although there are many techniques available for hair removal, threading is the quickest. But it has to be done bi-monthly at least. And sometimes we just don’t have the time for a visit to the parlour and are left wondering if we could do something at home. Threading at home is also possible but takes a long time when compared to the time taken by a professional at the parlour.

So what then do I have to offer in this post? Well, its nothing other than an alternative to threading – that is waxing. Yes waxing the upper lip at your convenience in the comfort of your home. Waxing also has the advantage that hair grows out slower so you don’t have to repeat it every two weeks.

The product that I use for at home waxing is not your regular hot/cold wax that is available but rather something also known as ‘katori wax’. Sleek Wax Pack is a product that you can use for removing hair from your face at home very easily.
