Review on πŸͺ’ Persian Cold Wax Hair Removal Kit - 1 Count by Annie Thornton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Real material suitable for waxing

For me the best wax you can find. I am of Middle Eastern descent and have been growing like girls in my culture since a very young age. I'm surprised by all the negative reviews, so I wanted to share a few tips to try and help (the tips on this list are pretty accurate): Heat it up; the consistency is too thick, otherwise you won't get a good thin layer. With a thicker layer of wax, it's too easy to "get stuck" trying to remove the strip, causing severe pain and possible bruising, not to mention not pulling your hair out. Move with hair growth when applying and pull against hair growth when pulling. So for my shins I would put my knee against my foot but draw my foot against my knee. There are some areas suitable for pull-ups, but start against and experiment later. HOW you draw is probably the most important part. You should keep it low as if you are scratching that part of your body. There should always be a very small distance between your hand and your body as you tear off the strip. Pulling the strip away from your skin (as if you were peeling a strip) probably won't remove as much hair. And, as the listing says, do it fast. But keeping your arm parallel to this area during the pull is the most important part, even more important than speed. Here are some other helpful tips: The area you're waxing should be clean (no lotion, deodorant, or anything else) and dry. Sometimes if the area isn't dry enough nothing comes out on the first try so I do the same area again right away and it all comes off. They don't recommend doing it more than once in the same spot, but unless it's your first time waxing, that's bullshit. I often go over the same area more than once, especially under the armpits. You can also use the same strip for a few "breaks" before taking the next one. I would limit this to a few times though so the wax deposits on the strip don't get too thick. One last tip: the smaller the area to wax, the less it hurts. Don't feel like you have to fill the entire bar for every gap. Make a 2x2 inch area, for example on the legs. It's also easier to shave this way as it's easier to keep your hand flat and closed at 2 inches than at 6-8 inches. Oh, and it will hurt, but less each time unless you shave between waxes. . Shaving between waxing sessions largely negates the long-term benefits of epilation: finer, thinner hair growth and less resistance to epilation. After all these years of waxing, I have almost no hair on my legs anymore. I have tried all types of wax and they are all so chemical that you need more chemicals to get the residue off your skin. This is real stuff.
