Are you using the guide on the epilator? This will make sure that you touch the epilator at the right angle to your skin and will be more successful at removing the hair

I have noticed that if I let the hair grow just a big longer, it is easier for the device to "grab" it. That's the only suggestion I can make. Hope it helps.

Try adjusting the angle that you have the epilady. Sometimes it takes a little experimenting with what works best. Also, NO lotion. Makes the hair and skin too slick for the epilady to work properly. I love mine, so I hope this helps.

It works best right after a shower with no lotion on your legs. It should get hair that length, but you may have to go over that area a few times. Be sure you are holding the epilady at the recommended angle and go slowly.

Not sure why....but I'd try holding the thing at different angles and going in different directions. Or wait until the hair is longer. But I've had success with it with short hair. So don't give up.

I am no hairdresser, but personally I would do the opposite. . First do the treatment and then cut the ends that you couldn't fix :-) i would ask the hairdresser though, just to make sure..

No, the epilator takes longer to use then shaving your legs. I would say at least 15-20 minutes to have good results.

I am of Asian descent and have relatively normal hair growth. Both my legs were about 75% hair-free when I replaced the first cartridge. Once this one wears out, I expect to be completely hair-free; keep in mind it may take more (or less) cartridge depending on your hair type. Hopes this help.

It depends on how fast or slow your hair grows. If after 2 days you can't stand it, then I would say yes. Me personally, yes, I use it after two days and this is why. Prior to purchasing it I let me leg hair grow for over a week. Drove me insane! But I had all my hair growing out so when I did use this, I got it all rather then deal with having more the next day since your hair grows in cycles. A few days later, I noticed TONS of ingrown hairs!! Omg I must have had a hundred of them! So I pluck and dug and plucked away for most of the day. I had even been using the exfoliating rags every other day! I also noticed when it pulled the hairs, most of them didn't have a root, and you know what that means....it broke the hairs rather then pull them out! Hence, the ingrowns..... so now two days is tops for me. If you leave the purple guard off, it gets right against your skin and as long as your skin is tight, it won't pinch or grab you and it pulls the hair by the root better.

Sorry you're having trouble. I hope this helps: the little tabs on the bottom of each leg unscrew so it has stability... Maybe adjusting the tabs so it's completely stable will prevent it from tipping over? I personally do just fine shavings legs, but I've made mine very level

I went over a piece of it with a flat iron at 275 and nothing happened, I only tested a tiny strip and it straightened without melting, I think if u keep the temperture low it will be ok. I am 5"1' and the wig almost reaches my butt but I cut it some

I have not had a problem with being grown hairs just the lack of hairs it takes off my neck.

I don't think this tiny device would work well for arm or leg hair. I had a larger epilady years ago that I used on my legs, and that worked fine -- except that I'd get tiny ingrown hairs on the back of my calves sometimes when the fine hair would grow back. All the best, Lynn

My hair is fine and frizzy also and have found using a small amount, about the size of a nickel, works for me. I suggest you experiment with the amount you use to see what works best for you. that is what I did. Hope this is helpful. (my hair is short, just a little below the ears.)

I am sorry, I can't help you, I bought the 1/2 inch. With it, I can catch the top part of my hair but the shorter is a challenge.

Well I actually tried that and well... Let's just say it did not go well... I ended up making a mess with the wax and couldn't get it off for a while.. eventually I was able to shave it all off. I would suggest using something that's actually meant for pubic hair because this certainly DID NOT work for me. Don't do it!!

You Should Be AbleTo Slowly Peel It Off And If It's Stuck On....Try A HairDryer On low

I had the same concern but it has not happened. I have long hair so I don't know what would happen with short hair.

Kinda. Your hair does have a to grow out a bit in order to remove most of the hairs, but if you're not comfortable with that I suggest to just use facial wax. I am sure you could look up some on Amazon for a good price. :)

Same here !!! Hair grows in all directions on my face too. Somehow I am not able to clear my neck properly. What is the soft setting for?

YESSSSS!!!!! Thats why I only used it once! I'll keep it for the trimmer aspect, but I won't used the epil part on my legs ever again. I have thick coarse hair on my legs, almost all of them came back ingrown and it took forever to get rid of those red bumps. It works well for me on the face though.
