Does anyone recommend this for an asian woman w/ a mix of fine to coarse hair? I would like to use it on my legs, arms and pits, brazilian area &amp;face.

I have coarse hair, and ended up returning this one because it was not powerful enough to remove a lot of hair at a time. I replaced it with an Epilady which works a lot better.

My ethnic hair is relaxed and I LOVE it - my stylist uses it on both my child who is natural and myself. I prefer only the shampoo and 'rinse out' conditioner [I don't care, however, for the leave-in conditioner]. As an aside, I like the Agadir oil prior to blow drying and the spray after flat ironing :)

I don't have thick coarse hair, I actually have thin hair everywhere, but I love this item and am getting ready to order a couplemore. I never want to be without it. My opinion, it's so cheap, why not try it and it could save you lots of money in comparisonto all the other expensive ways to get rid of facial hair. None of the ladies want any kind of hair on our face. This is the best for me.

I don't see why not. It has ingredients that revitalize the hair follicles, allowing them to grow in fuller and longer. Although Asian hair is straighter than African hair, the texture of both hair types are still course. I would assume the product would respond for both the same way. But this really is a great product for all hair types. It has a unique smell, but I like organic scents. If you are still feeling unsure, please do more research on the ingredients more so than just the product or brand itself. Good luck on your hair endeavors.

You might try something that has a pump or aerosal used very sparingly at first. Paul Mitchell has one. I think it's called "Shine". I wouldn't use this on fine and/or thin hair. It's pretty heavy

I see you already got the answer, however, I 'll add my opinion for what it's worth. I found this multi w /herbs to be only mediocre, and somewhat pricey at that. The only significant effect I did note is faster growing nails and hair, and thicker, healthier hair, and oddly a darkening in haircolor, as my hairdresser even commented upon. But alas,not important enough to warrant this price for me. Good -luck.

If you buy it off their actual website, not only do you pay $50, but it comes with a FREE Mira hair oil herbal shampoo. Best of luck with your hair journey. May we ALL have beautiful, long hair ;-D

This product is made in Japan. Over the years, I've had and bought several both for myself and as gifts. My hair is not straight, and I want it to be without the efforts of multiple irons. There are two kinds....one with a separate attachment for curling, another for drying hair straight and styling. I am simple. The downfall would be the instructions. Not written in English. Also, try not to overheat, it bends the bristles over time. Would I buy again? No issue. Love it!....I keep a spare for travels.

The whole body is a little to much I think for this unit. I did use it on my elbows and arms. I didn't use it on my feet because the brush is too soft and the spong is too soft. The gritting one I did use on my arms where the skin gets bumps and it didn't hurt my skin.

i removed some hairs on my chinny-chin-chin and had no problem. i can't speak for any other parts of my face. my skin isn't terribly sensitive, but i had a great experience all around with MOOM. good luck.

I don't think so. Several things make me say this. A nurse I know who was of Hispanic background used it and said it was excruciatingly painful. I suggested using something like one of those topical analgesics for mouth pain. Anyway, I think it would be painful and completely ineffective for you. I am a pale white chick who is traveling and got some tan on my legs. It became much more painful to use it and I think the results were diminished with the tan as well (I have been traveling for about 10 months, so it's not that I didn't give it enough time...) Also, I used it on hairs on moles I have, which are darker than my normal skin tone, and those hairs, while lighter and less coarse, are still there. It really doesn't work on light hair on even light tone skin (it wasn't nearly as effective on my leg hair, which is lighter than say bikini-area hair, which it WAS effective on.) All in all, as a black person, I reaaaaaallllllllyy wouldn't spend my money on this. For white women who want to say get rid of chin hair, go for it. It was very effective on my chin hair. Man, do I sound grotesque or what?

Its great for all hair types. If your relative uses this once or twice a week, their hair should get softer. Also, have them conditon there hair often :)

Hey Nichole! I really like the product and I suppose it will be good for that type of hair. I have long but thin hair and it does the job which makes me think it will be even better for thicker hair. Hope my answer was useful. Happy new 2015!

Yes, it does. I'm also asian w/medium tone skin. I suggest using level one. When you're ready for the next level, try it on a part of your skin and wait a few days. I noticed that level 3 burns my legs, which are lighter than my arms. These burns will go away but it will take at least a year.

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.

Yes it is versatile. I personally use a ceramic flat iron with a little bit of biosilk serum and that does the trick. I usually will get it deep conditioned and roller set and it behaves well too....it's a pretty good buy if you treat it like your own hair.

Let me know how much you like it. I also recommend Dermorganic conditioner. After I use it and I leave some on my hair it takes me 2 minutes or less to brush my curly hair. (I have a lot of hair!)
