Braun Epilators

Looking to buy Braun Epilators?

Epilators are the saviours of the hair removal world as, unlike shaving, you don’t have to use them every few days and, unlike waxing, you don’t have to wait for your hair to grow a certain length. Combining the best (and eliminating the worst) features of both methods, many people turn to epilators (and Braun’s models specifically) in search of a better option… and never look back!

Working by plucking the hairs from your follicles with rotating tweezers, Braun’s epilators are designed to be as pain-free as possible, with hairs taking roughly three to four weeks to grow back completely. One of the most convenient removal methods available, epilation won’t lead to permanent hair removal, but it’ll certainly take longer to grow back, and will be noticeably thinner when it does, too!

What’s the difference between ‘wet and dry’ and ‘dry’ Braun epilators?

Generally speaking, most epilators work best on dry skin, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t use certain models on wet or damp skin, too. Wet and dry epilators can be used in both the shower and the bath, where the heat from the steam can open your pores, making the process a little less uncomfortable. Unless you have a particularly low pain threshold, though, a dry option will often suffice, especially if you’re using your chosen Braun epilator regularly. Plus, though it may be easier and less irritating to the skin to use your product in the shower, it may actually make the process slower and less effective.

Braun’s Silk-Epil 9 epilator is one of the brand’s most popular wet and dry models, and it’s not very hard to see why. Despite being slightly pricier than alternatives on the market, this stand-out hair removal product is convenient, compact and lightweight, making it ideal for travel and home use alike. Braun’s fastest and most precise epilator, it can provide up to four weeks of salon-smooth skin, and includes six extras for full flexibility in your regime: an efficiency cap for maximum skin contact, a precision cap for easy epilation in smaller areas, a shaver head and trimmer cap to turn your epilator into a fully-functional shaver, and a charging stand, to ensure your epilator is always ready to go.

Should I opt for a corded or cordless Braun epilator?

You have two options when it comes to the portability of your epilator: corded and cordless (or mains-powered, or battery-operated). While corded models tend to be slightly more powerful than their battery-operated counterparts (and obviously don’t require frequent battery changes), they’re not as adaptable and travel-friendly, so may not be best suited to longer holidays. You also won’t be able to use corded models in the bath or shower, so bear this in mind if you prefer to epilate in water.
