I posted a while back to see if anyone had used this seemingly miracle device for hair removal. Well, I had to be a guinea pig...
This device is meant to mimic the traditional threading method of hair removal, though it is only suitable for upper lip, chin, and other flat facial surfaces (not eye brows). I prefer threading over other methods of hair removal, because it gets rid of hair completely and much faster than waxing.
This device is like a long tight spring, with two covers at the ends as handles. Basically you bend the spring into an upside down U shape and roll the handles inwards while running it across the upper lip. It does take a little practice to be able to remove multiple hairs, and at the roots... Once you get the hang of the movement, you will be able to recreate the sensation and effect of having threading done.
The first time I tried I simply placed the device over my hair and started to roll, OUCH! It feels like having all your hair snared in a spring... But if you do it after a hot shower and do it FAST then the pain becomes more of an irritation feeling. You can literally pick up the tiniest hairs even if they are less than 1mm long.
I had several broken hairs from my first attempt, and as usual had a few spots a few days later. With more practice and after care, this may be the end of my visits to any beauty parlour.
The device is quite cheap, around £5, or $15USD on Ebay. |

It is possible but you are probably better off to use an epilator since it would take forever to get rid of all hair.
Havana- you can also try dusting some rice/silk powder or whatever starches you have before beginning, at the parlour the ladies cover the skin with talc to reduce friction but I always end up with blemishes afterwards so I opt for a natural option. |

Finally got back to this review,
I'm going to try it but just wondering where everyone brought there epicare from??
Can you buy it in Australia or do you buy from this US website http://www.facialhairthreading.com
Any ideas?? |
I bought a knockoff device for much less than the official Epicare device on Ebay. Check your local Ebay listings. The seller I bought from is in Hong Kong:
FACIAL HAIR REMOVER THREADING FOR MAKE UP *DIY**
$3.99 + .54 for S&H (US)
