I had laser hair removal 2 weeks ago in multiple places (underarms, bikini, legs). As of now all of my body hair is less than a quarter of an inch in length & if I pinch a hair between my nails & tug lightly, it comes out extremely easily without me feeling anything or it pulling on my skin at all. Does this mean it would be ok to pull them out manually at this point, or wait even longer for the hair to grow? They recommended epilating, would it be okay to do so? They used an alexandrite laser.
