My contribution to epilator-users everywhere!

Mr Sm8th:

Hi,
I’ve been experimenting recently with applying bleach after epilating…
I got the idea after watching CSI, when a cast member said something about the use of bleach dissolving any DNA evidence. Looking into it I discovered any ‘base’ does dissolve biological matter and that a strong base will burn the skin, we all remember the scene from FightClub with the spot of lime on the back of his hand.
Anyways my theory is that a good scrub with bleach after epilating will help dissolve the exposed hair folicles resulting in permanent hair removal.
This has had mixed results; my chest after 3 gos is virtually hair free, my arms & legs after one treatment have 50% less hair which I think is also alot finer and my pubic area seems the least responsive to bleach. I did suffer a little skin burning down there but not bad just a little dry skin afterwards.
I use a 50/50 solution in a spray bottle and 1st couple of times I did this I was in the shower so I could wash it off quick
I’m still experimenting with this idea but from the initial results I could be on to something? I think that the cleaner the initial hair removal the more chance the bleach has to get to whats left of the hair roots so combine it with hairdryer use and who knows…

My goal is to be permanently hair free from the neck down, currently epilated smooth all over

You never mentioned the exact procedure you use. i.e. How long you leave the solution on your skin and how you go about doing your entire body… I agree with the others in that it does sound risky but to everyone I say “Google is your friend”. Don’t knock it until you’ve done a good amount of research on it. I’ll do the same.
