Review (1/5): Wax On, Wax Off, Hair Still There
I think a lot of us want an easier way to remove hair. Shaving, especially for a bigger girl like me, is not that easy. It’s worse when you have long legs, short arms.
It’s bad when you have certain chin hairs (thankfully not that much it isn’t manageable another way).
I tried some sugar wax kit back about 20+ years ago. That was a NIGHTMARE! It was supposedly edible. I think you microwaved the container, spread it on, let it cool, used a paper strip (supplied) to remove the hair. It didn’t work and stung.
I then moved to a hair removal cream, that partially worked.
After that? Back to the hold stand-by –> shave foam/cream and a razor. For my main body parts, that’s always worked. Tough “chin” hairs –> using a tweezer work. No, the dermaplaning tool didn’t work on them.
I got a wax warmer, so I thought all beads/beans were equal.
These came with ZERO instructions, and the after spray bottle was busted. The warmer kit at least had some. And, my warmer kit had specially made, disposable “cups”.
These beads/beans, in a smaller cup, took over 90 minute to melt. And, the warmer was on 180°(F).
I tried a small amount on my arm. The wax was sticky, not liquidy, and it cooled almost as soon as it hit my skin.
I let it sit there for a few minutes (over 5), and peeled the max off. It didn’t hurt, sting, or cause redness – then again …
THE HAIR WAS STILL THERE
Okay, so my hair on my arm is a little thin. But, if this removes thick hair, shouldn’t it remove thinner hair?
I found another patch, got some warm wax – tried it again. Nope. Tried legs, arms, and under my chin. Nothing. Then again, I see I'm not the only one experiencing issues with these beads/beans.
I may have gotten a bad batch. But, I definitely wouldn’t get these again.
