has anyone ever tried using hair on there head to achieve the smooth look?

Hingatao:
I used it on my chest once. It did a nice job but left a bunch of small and uncomfortable chemical burns. I don't think I'll be doing that again! Especially not on my head!

buddha:
I don't know where I read it but wherever it was the writer either said that the original Nair was OK for use on the dome or that Nair made a different preparation that was safe for use on the dome.
When I think about it I don't know why the scalp would be any more or less sensitive than thigh skin.
Maybe just try it on a small patch of scalp first to see the effects. Make sure you keep us posted.

Blitzed:
Oh, no and after that, Hell no. Do not use Nair or any chemical depilatory on your head. There is abroad in the land a notion that skin is skin, wherever it is, but that is not true. The skin on your head was made to be shaded and protected by hair. For men who are actually bald there is a transformation as your hair goes away from a more tender, thin skin to something more robust, thicker. Of course this is in response to sun light, air, many variables. When those of us who shave our heads first do so, one of the major problems can be very severe sunburn. The chemicals in Nair stand in for the sun save that they were meant to be penetrative, get to the follicle of the problem. For a really nasty chemical burn and quite possibly scarring, use this product, check the ingredients on the label; When you see a word such as "acid" assume that it has some capacity to be caustic. To paraphrase Nancy Reagan, "Just Don't Do It".

Mike E. P.:
Stay away from that crap. I tried it on my chest and nearly burned my nipples off.  Granted, I should have read the directions ... But I wouldn't put that near my head.
