Facial hair, for most women, is like a papercut—small but annoying. Even though we already know it’s not true that shaving makes hair grow back thicker, I don’t know many women who would put a razor to their face. We wax, bleach, and thread, but is there an easier way to combat upper lip and chin hair?

As if I haven’t introduced you to enough strange beauty products already, I’d like to present My Spring It: an economical and easy alternative to facial hair removal.

This strange-looking device pulls hair from the roots without subjecting your skin to chemicals or burns. At the same time, it conveniently does not need batteries so you could use it anywhere and while you’re doing other things, such as reading or watching TV. How does it work?

My Spring It simply uses the following two steps:

1. Bend the Spring It bar in to a u-shape and apply to your skin where hair is to be removed 
2. Roll your fingers in & out and up & down

What’s the catch? It could be a tad painful upon first use. But let’s face it, what method of hair removal isn’t painful?

Fortunately, our nerves tend to get used to this after a while, just like for waxing and threading. I would not recommend the My Spring It for precise hair removal, such as eyebrows. But as far as cheeks, upper lip, and chin goes, the My Spring It sure does beat making a trip to the store or salon every time.
