Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am reading a lot of reviews that complain about how the wax doesn't work and thought I'd share my 2 cents about the product. I am an Indian woman so naturally I have a lot of thick black body hair on my arms and legs and the wax does a good job in removing them. Here are a couple of things about waxing to keep in mind: 1. Body hair length: If you're looking to remove hair just coming out of the follicles this is not your product. Infact, waxing isn't your option. For an efficient wax the body hair has to be around half a centimeter or else the wax will miss out pulling those hair since the wax strip doesn't have enough surface area to pull the hair out. Now I understand how this can be a little inconvenient but with continuous usage of wax your hair growth slows down and this might become manageable. 2. Moisturized skin: The skin has to be dry before you apply wax. Take a shower and clean the area with soap (without any moisturizers for e.g. Dove is not suitable). Once you've dried the skin, apply some baby powder to absorb any remaining moisture. This greatly effects how efficient of a wax you will have and prevent patches of hair from being unwaxed. 3. Humidity: As with any other wax, the waxing will not be as good if there is humidity in the air, This can be prevented by turning on the air conditioning while you are waxing. Humidity prevents hair to stick to the wax strip 4. Amount of wax: Apply the thinnest layer of wax on a body area. A lot of people apply a lot more than necessary thinking more wax= better hair removal. However that couldn't be further from the truth. Since this is a roll on, it gives you a lot of control on how much wax to apply. With error and trial figure out how many seconds in the microwave are needed for a warm thin wax, enough to create a thin layer on the body yet not burn the skin. 5. Waxing techniques: The wax should be applied in the normal direction of growth. The strip placed on top should be pressed in the normal direction of growth as well. However when pulling the strip out, you need to pull it out in the opposite direction. So plan accordingly and leave an area of the strip on the end with which you can pull the strip out easily. 5. Human error: Remember that since you're doing it yourself and not at a spa, there will be areas that you will be unable to wax irrespective of the amount of wax you apply there. Waxing is more of technique and doing bikini areas yourself will always be tricky. I haven't tried it in the bikini area so I can't comment on its effectiveness, however considering all the weird angles you have to remove the hair from, it might just be best to leave such areas to the experts or have a friend help you. All in all, I really like the product. Since its a honey and sugar based wax, it is easier to remove with just warm water. The roll on design makes it so much more convenient and less messy than the other options available on the market. The strips are reusable but if you don't want to reuse them, one can buy strips online on amazon or in beauty stores like Ulta. Hope this review helps some of you out there.
