Nair?
invaray:
NO, Don't use it on your head. Knew someone that tried it. It made red sores randomly over his head took weeks to heal and was painful to even have water on it afterwards and it didn't even remove all the hair.

I only know of one such product that is marketed for the head - Magic Shave Bald Head. I have tried it, it did not burn and removed the hair, but not as smooth as a good blade shave. Try on a small area to see how you skin reacts befor using on the entire head.
Razorless cream shave formulated to help stop razor bumps and to give a closer shave than a razor and maintain bald head styles.
Cave Dweller:
I once seriously considered using Nair on my head. (After all, all those cute women in short shorts in the commercials seemed to think it was a fun experience and worked great for getting them smooth.)
Then my eldest daughter showed me how she used it on her legs. The chemical smell alone was enough to chase me away. Next she showed me how messy it was and how you had to scrape the stuff off in order for it to work. I could only imagine how difficult it would be to duplicate what she was doing on her straight legs on my rounder scalp and in places I could not see. Plus, there was no way I ever would put that caustic and odoriferous a substance near my eyes or nostrils.
I will continue to enjoy the smell of the lather and the feel of the blade.
TheSlyBear:
Why put caustic chemicals on your head? :-\

I had the same experience. Could barely stand wearing a shirt for days!
