Review on Gigi Brazilian Body Hard Wax: Smooth & Sensitive Skin-Friendly 14oz Non-Strip Bikini Wax by Latasha Pizzino

is my favorite hard wax. It's a lot cheaper than buying it from Sally Beauty, where it's around $16. I use it for body waxing my arms, legs and armpits. I have medium hair. I have used over 8 containers in the last 2 years. Many of you don't know how to properly apply wax, which is why wax cracks on you, why it drips all over the place, and why it hurts so much to peel off if you let it dry for too long. Also, PLEASE use a wooden spatula and apply an EVEN coat to the strip you are making. that's the key. my tip: heat the wax until it is thick enough that it doesn't run off the spatula as quickly when you lift the spatula out of the container. Twist the spatula in the air quickly a few times until there is a large amount of wax on the tip of the wooden spatula. It also helps cool the wax. The faster you spin it, the less likely it is to drip (and make a mess) onto the floor or other unwanted spots. Press against the skin in the direction of hair growth, making sure to leave enough product at the end of the strip so you have enough wax to hold onto when you pull against the direction of hair growth. Be sure to apply an even amount. If you find you haven't applied an even amount to the strip you made, I sometimes go back to the wax and save quite a bit and quickly add it to the patch I made to allow the whole layer to cool . (harden) evenly. I usually have to add product around the edges because if I make the edges too thin they crack. after a few seconds, blot the strip with your hand, but don't wait too long. I usually only wait 10-15 seconds. Tapping will help you determine if it's heavy enough (but not like a brick) to pull. If your fingers stick to the wax, it's not done yet, so blot it up very quickly as this will help the wax cool. pull fast. It won't fall apart if you pull it out while it's still a BIT soft. Once you find the perfect balance of softness (depending on your preference and how much you practice), you'll find that the strips come off quickly, hurt less, and come out clean, making the whole waxing process that much faster.
