Mizz J was awesome enough to pass on the
opportunity to try Inhibitif and I instantly grasped at the change to never
touch a razor again. The number of ads for this stuff at bus stops and on
billboard really helped to put this on my radar.
Inhibitif advertises that the product will
reduce the apparent prominence and visible density of unwanted hair over time.
After 8 weeks, the need for hair removal is minimized. It is suppose to be a
lasting smooth solution which will end your frequent shaving/waxing routine.
The directions say to apply evenly on shaved or waxed areas twice per day for 2
months and reduce application to 3 times a week to maintain results.
Well, I tried out this #SmoothMovement for 2
months. At first, I was very unsure about how to apply it evenly. Spraying the
solution resulted in blotchy application and I was told that I shouldn’t smooth
the liquid on with my hands. Using a “spray and drag” type technique seemed to
work ok. In general, you can be pretty liberal and still have enough product
for 2 months.
Initially, I didn’t notice much of a change.
After 6 weeks, I still didn’t see much difference. To be fair, the first week’s
application might have been spotty until I got the hang of not using half the
bottle each time. I’m looking at my legs now (2 months later), and I notice
that my hairs are finer but I’m still shaving at near the same frequency as
before. Though they are thinner, the little hair nubs are still observable
after a day or two from shaving.
For me, this is not a miracle product. I can
see that it definitely takes time and it looks like it might take more than 2
months for me to really get to a place where I’m shaving less. I read a tweet where
the user said they hadn’t shaved in 2 weeks and the testimonials on the website
often mention how fast the results are. My hair is generally thicker (not
dense) but it’s not crazy thick and it still really took a long while for
anything to happen. I didn’t really feel like it made too much of a difference
to my shaving routine.
I don’t see a downside to trying this (granted
I have not looked into the ingredients…). I think it’s something like $20 a bottle,
which isn’t too much of a financial commitment. It’s true that my hair became
finer and that I got to add about 1-2 days onto my time before I had to shave
but these are small results for me and I don’t mind shaving so much. This may
not be an intense, immediate solution to your hairy leg woes but it might work
for you overtime if you’re patient.
So what
do you think? Would you give this a try? How annoying is shaving/waxing for
you?
