The real stuff
This, to me, is the absolute best wax you will find. I’m of middle eastern descent and have been waxing, as girls in my culture as are wont to do, since a very young age. I’m surprised by all the negative reviews so I wanted to give some advice to try and help (the tips provided on this listing are pretty much spot on): warm this up; the consistency is just too thick otherwise to get a nice, thin layer on. With a thicker wax layer, it’s far too easy to “stall” when you attempt to pull the strip off, which leads to a lot of pain and possible bruising, not to mention not taking off a lick of hair. When applying, go with the hair growth but when pulling, pull against the hair growth. So for my shins, I’d apply knee towards foot but pull foot towards knee. There are some areas that do ok with “with the growth” pulling but start with against and experiment later. The WAY you pull is probably the most important part. You gotta keep it low, as if you were scraping that part of your body. There should be very little distance between your hand and your body for the entire time you are ripping off the strip. If you pull the strip off away from your skin (as if you were peeling the strip away), it’s likely not going to take much hair off. And like the listing says, do it fast. But keeping your hand parallel with the area the entire time you’re pulling is the most important part, even more so than speed. Here are some other tips to help: the area you are waxing should be clean (free from any lotion or deodorant or whatever) and dry. Sometimes if the area is not dry enough, nothing will come off the first try so I immediately do the same area again and everything comes off. They don’t recommend doing over the same spot more than once but unless it’s your first time waxing, that’s rubbish advice. I often go over the same area more than once, especially underarms. You can also use the same strip for a couple “rips” before grabbing your next one. But I would limit that to only a handful of times lest the wax build-up on the strip get too thick. Last tip, the smaller the area you wax in one rip, the less it will hurt. Don’t feel like you have to fill the entire strip for each rip. Do a 2×2 in. area, for example, on your legs. It’s easier to rip this way too since it’s easier to keep your hand steady and close for 2 inches rather than 6-8 in. Oh, and it’s gonna hurt but it hurts less and less every time you do it, unless you shave inbetween waxings. Shaving between waxings pretty much resets the long term benefits of waxing: thinner and sparser hair growth and less resiliency to being waxed. I barely have hair on my legs anymore, after all these years of waxing. I’ve tried every type of wax out there and they are all chemical nastiness that you need more chemicals to remove the residue from your skin. This is the real stuff.

Best wax option
I extremely recommend this product. I have try every hair removal product I could think of shaving, hot wax, painless wax, I even brought the hot wax kit with the waxing mashing and everything in hopes to one save money and find the best way to remove hair from my legs because I have extremely sensitive skin and fast thick growing hair with is the worst combination you can have when I use to shave I couldnât shave more the once every two weeks because it would cause painful bleeding and my legs didnât even feel smooth afterwards, then I try wax from the drugstore that you heat up in the microwave and it would remove hair but also a thing layer of my skin with it which would cause scaring and it would defeat the whole purpose, not to mention but it would also be so difficult to remove and messy. Then I finally decided to try to by the professional hot wax beans they work better because since they harden it was an easier mess to clean pluss no wax strips with it was one thing I will always run out of one session. But it was definitely not painless yes after a while you do build up your pain tolerance but itâs definitely not pain free. Then recently I saw a video of every shaving product and noticed this product called cold wax because Iâm always looking for a better option I decided to give it a try it arrived in perfect condition with instructions 20 reusable strips and two applicators. I was very very skeptical because again it wasnât like the hard wax and I know it was going to be a mess cleaning up and I kept having flashbacks of my skin coming off with the soft hot wax and how sometimes the wax wouldnât even come off with the strip, as I did a small piece on my leg and pulled I was astonished it was the least pain I have ever experience with wax. I did half of my two leg with only only two strips because after you apply and strip you can go on to another section for a second and even third use all this happened with in 20 min. I highly recommend this product. Itâs extremely effective with correct use.

Plucking would’ve been faster and more effective.
This item is so lazy. Quite the waste of time and mullah.The directions say 1/4″ hair length for optimal results. Maybe “better wax for optimal results.”I’ll save you some time here:If you are using this for hairy leg, it’s probably optimal. If you’re using for face, you are going to go through much frustration.Most people here complain about the mess, but really, if you are a smart person with common sense, this won’t be an issue. I mean, the wax responds to water, regardless of the temperature; genius! But they pretty much stopped there with the genius.The biggest problem is the fact that it doesn’t work. And unless you are waxing SUPER-thick hair, over a large surface area, it won’t work. So… what’s the point of the product? I’ve gotta grow it out, to wax it? Again, GENIUS. This time it would be in Sarcasm font, had it been invented.I purchased it for my eyebrows. I’m not trying to shape them, as I am a man. I simply purchased this in order to prevent uno-brow. I know, right?Ultimately you get TWO tries on sensitive skin like that of your FACE. After two applications your skin goes devil-hue and begins to get irritated. I can’t believe I let my brow grow to the 1/4” for this BS.Do yourself a favor: go to a pro, pluck, or use REAL wax. AND do the WORLD a favor, by not supporting a product that pretends to offer to a lazy solution.

I used it on my face n arms, it works wonderfully. The 20-30 sec heating in the microwave thinned it out to a perfect consistency so that it can be applied as a thin layer. The strips are sturdy n it removes hair very well. Afterwards, I washed the used strips u see some warm water and they were as good as new! No hassle. This will be my go to was from now on!

Although it takes a time before it get solid, it was much better than expected! Having it in the microwave for 10-30 seconds before can make it even more efficient. Saves a lot of time!

Je viens écrire un avis ici après presque un an d’utilisation, c’est difficile d’être objectif quand on a pas le recul nécessaire donc voilà , si cela peut aider….Vous avez un pot de cire avec une quantité assez importante, deux petites spatules en bois (elles sont très bien mais pas adaptées pour traiter de grandes zones), et des bandes en cotons donc réutilisables ainsi qu’une notice en plusieurs langues dont le français et surtout, avec des images, chose qui m’a bien aidé sachant que pour moi c’était une grande première. Ceci dit, j’ai vite compris qu’une fine couche n’était pas suffisante, le mieux est de ne pas hésiter à mettre la quantité, ça permet aussi de traiter d’autres zones avec la même bande sans remettre de la cire.L’avantage c’est que le produit contient très peu d’ingrédients, 4 de mémoire, il est naturel et la faible odeur que la cire dégage est plutôt agréable. Ãa fait beaucoup penser au miel en fait, la texture est similaire. Le seul point négatif dans l’immédiat, c’est le fait que c’est collant.Pour laver les bandes utilisées, il suffit de les laisser tremper dans l’eau. 5 minutes dans l’eau froide c’est presque magique. Sur la peau, c’est aussi très simple à enlever, ça part à l’eau.Après, dire que c’est sans douleur… ça dépend des gens je pense mais bon, on arrache des bandes de cire alors on ne peut pas dire que ça ne pique pas un peu. La première fois, c’est comme une gifle, mais j’ai remarqué qu’à force de le faire on finit par ne plus faire attention à cette petite douleur. La cire laisse la peau douce, c’est agréable.Ceci dit, chez moi il fait chaud l’été et j’ai malheureusement découvert que la cire n’était pas efficace quand il fait plus de 25 degrés… Mais j’avoue volontiers qu’elle répond à mes besoins le reste de l’année et que j’en recommanderai surement quand mon pot sera terminé.
